Sub-Scotland Economic Statistics Group

Overview

This group is no longer active.

The purpose of the Group is to identify the key strategic statistical information required by all interested parties, and to develop and implement a strategy for prioritising and meeting these needs while minimising, where possible, the burden on data suppliers and maintaining quality fit for purpose.

In these respects the group will:

  • consider existing Sub-Scotland economic statistics, in order to identify gaps;

  • provide advice on prioritising and filling gap areas, and on any additional resource implications;

  • consider the options for effective dissemination of sub-Scotland economic statistics in ways which will provide for maximum access, ease of understanding and use;

  • consider different channels through which future work might be pursued;

  • develop, maintain and promote sub-Scotland geographies for the publication of economic, business and labour market statistics;

  • liaise, and support work of, wider UK groups focussed on economic statistics for sub-UK areas;

  • provide feedback on progress to SESCG.

An archive of past papers and minutes of this group may be found at this page of the National Records of Scotland archive of gov.scot.
