Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order specifies that wholly Scottish devolved statistics produced, or to be produced, by the persons listed in the Schedule are official statistics. “Scottish devolved statistics” are defined in section 66 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007.

This Order amends the Official Statistics (Scotland) Order 2008 by adding five additional persons to the list of persons specified as producers of official statistics.

They are specified in addition to official statistics produced by the Statistics Board, a government department, the Scottish Administration, a Welsh ministerial authority, a Northern Ireland department, or any other person acting on behalf of the Crown, under section 6(1)(a) of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, or specified in another order under that section.
