National Statistician

National Statistician Directors of the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) also hold the title of National Statistician. They are de facto Permanent Secretaries but do not use that title. As the ONS incorporates the OPCS, the Director is also the Registrar General for England and Wales. In addition, he or she is ex officio the Head of the UK Government Statistical Service. The first Director of ONS was Professor Tim Holt. Subsequent Directors have had this additional title, the National Statistician. The second Director was Len Cook, who had previously held a similar post in New Zealand. He was succeeded by Karen Dunnell on 1 September 2005.
