This publication is a continuation of the series Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Statistics for the UK and Regions, but has been re-named to reflect the fact that there have been several methodological improvements. Details of the changes were published in an article in Economic and Labour Market Review in April 2011, available here.
*Two Scottish Government statistical staff received BPE data one day in advance of the usual 24 hours pre-release access. This was so that the data could be included in a methodological note accompanying Scottish Corporate Sector Statistics 2011 which was also published at 9.30am on 12 October, the same day as Business Population Estimates 2011, and provides information about the number of enterprises operating in Scotland broken down by various categories. Early pre-release access for this purpose is permitted by Section 15 of the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008.
