**1. Treasury Committee Report - "Counting the Population"**
The House of Commons Treasury Committee's Eleventh [1]Report of
Session 2007-08,
printed on May 14th 2008 noted that the Government has failed to
make any progress
in establishing an address register for the 2011 Census. The
report says, "We
heard repeated references to the necessity of establishing the
register yet were
surprised to hear that no business case had been published".

Now it is clear for anyone to see what data we hold, the source
of that data and
when it will be updated. This has made information sharing at
Haringey much easier
and assisted compliance with the EU directive for establishing
an Infrastructure
for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE)."

**5. INSPIRE Update**
The Metadata Implementing Rules have been approved by the EU
INSPIRE committee,
but the College of Commissioners has yet to officially adopt
them. It is likely
that this will take up to two months and the final IRs will not
be published until
then.

**1. Password Renewals**
For security purposes NLPG and NSG website passwords expire
after 90 days and users
are required to input a new one. Users can do this themselves by
logging on with
their current login details and then hitting "change password".
The new password
must be alpha numeric, containing both upper and lower case
letters and at least
four digits. If your password is not accepted a pop up message
will give you further
instructions.
The CORE data team has already started the matching and cleaning
routine for a number
of authorities. The data submitted is formatted to BS7666
prior to matching to
the LLPG and this has highlighted instances where LLPG data does
not meet the BS7666
Conventions; the great majority of these anomalies are
contained in the "health
checks", and this illustrates the importance of resolving these
issues as soon as
possible. By correcting these items Custodians will potentially
increase the CORE
match rates considerably.
