520 _aConstruction output for January 2011 was lower than December 2010 despite the latter month (December) experiencing several days of severe snow. It was suggested by some construction analysts that there could be a lag in the timing between work being carried out and its being reported on ONS?s monthly business survey. ONS contacted a sample of businesses to establish if there was any evidence to support this suggestion. The data collected by the office show that the total output estimate published by ONS is based on responses that are, on average, lagged by 0.24 weeks. This estimate is based on 187 responses from a total of 395 businesses contacted. On the basis of this analysis, ONS does not intend to make any change to the published estimates.
