ONS has completed its fifth year as an independent government department, and an executive agency. Its remit covers the official statistics of the UK, and registration services for England and Wales. In 2000-01, the work of the ONS included: the publication of nearly 250 statistical reports, the issue of 300 First Releases, dealing with nearly 180,000 public enquiries, and answering 310 Parliamentary Questions and MP cases. This period included the operation of the ten-yearly Census of Population, the largest single task carried out by the ONS. The year has also saw the launch of The Neighbourhood Statistics Services website in February 2001.
