Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007

The Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (c. 18) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which established the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA). It came into force in April 2008. Sir Michael Scholar was appointed as the first chair of the UKSA.

The act established the UK Statistics Authority as a non-ministerial department that employs the National Statistician. The National Statistician has an office to support them, the Office for National Statistics.

The act establishes proper employment status and rights for registration officers, including local authority employees.

The legislation was criticised by the Statistics Users' Forum for only providing for the independence of the Office for National Statistics but not the independent of other bodies such as those which produce statistics relating to education, health and crime.
