Construction output in Great Britain: June 2017

Construction output fell 3 month on 3 month by 1.3%, after growth of 1.1% in the first 3 months of 2017.

This 3 month on 3 month contraction in output has been driven by falls in both all new work, and repair and maintenance, which fell 1.3% and 1.4% respectively.

UK index of production: June 2017

In the 3 months to June 2017, the Index of Production was estimated to have decreased by 0.4% compared with the 3 months to March 2017, due mainly to a fall of 0.6% in manufacturing.

The largest contribution to the fall in manufacturing in the 3 months to June 2017 came from transport equipment, which fell by 2.2%, along with smaller downward contributions from a range of other industries.

UK trade: June 2017

Between Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2017 and Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2017, the total trade deficit (goods and services) widened by £0.1 billion to £8.9 billion as increases in imports were closely matched by increases in exports.

The UK's total trade deficit (goods and services) widened by £2.0 billion between May and June 2017 to £4.6 billion, due to increases in imports of both goods and services; erratic commodities had little impact within the total trade balance on the month.

Consultation on National Statistics definition of alcohol-related deaths

ONS reports annual trends on deaths associated with alcohol consumption using a National Statistics (NS) definition of alcohol-related deaths. The current NS definition intends to identify deaths from conditions for which most are due to alcohol. 

Different definitions are used across government, including government agencies and the devolved administrations, to measure alcohol-related mortality, with the total number of deaths varying substantially. This consultation aims to review which causes of death are appropriate to include in the NS definition, with the view to having a single definition across government.
