Which minister oversees the Research Development and Statistics Directorate.?

Question

I want to contact the relevent minister to share concerns regarding the shape of the next census, and questions that may or may not be asked.

Answer 1

The RDS is part of the Home Office, therefore it is the Home Secretary, currently Dr John Reid.

However, I don't think the RDS has responsibility for the census - I think that's the ONS (Office for National Statistics) which also contains the National Register Office. The National Statistician, Karen Dunnell, is in charge of the ONS and I think it may be independent of government departments.

Answer 2

Minister of Information.
