So the ONS is - in my opinion - pretty awesome. I think it's unlikely that they will be caving to political pressure. From what I can tell, they are basically saying the quality of the data sucks - they tried collecting it for 5 years and it didn't really work.
Edit: I got the annual homeless survey and mortality figures confused.
So I deleted the comment. But that looks bad, so now I've added this explanation.
