On 28th September, Rt Hon Nicky Morgan MP, Chair of the Treasury Committee, wrote to Professor Sir John Curtice, President of the British Polling Council. The letter focuses on the use of private polling data, particularly during the recent referendum campaigns, and follows on from media coverage during the summer. Further details, including a link to Mrs Morgan’s letter, can be found on the Treasury Committee’s web page: Change polling rules to protect integrity of UK financial markets.

Following a consultation with its membership, the British Polling Council has responded to Mrs Morgan. The contents are set out in this letter to the Rt Hon Nicky Morgan MP (pdf).
