Statistical classification of registered providers of social housing in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: September 2016
As announced in the June 2016 Classifications Forward Work Plan, ONS has undertaken a review of the statistical classification of registered social landlords and housing associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This followed a similar review into private registered providers (PRPs) of social housing in England, concluded in 2015. ONS has concluded that registered providers of social housing in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are public, market producers and as such they will be reclassified to the Public Non-Financial Corporations (S.11001) sub-sector for the purpose of national accounts and other ONS economic statistics.
