Annual Population Survey (APS)/Labour Force Survey (LFS) Reweighting Project:
In 2007, ONS undertook a reweighting project, whereby APS and LFS data were reweighted using population estimates for 2007-2008. As a result, reweighted editions of APS Special Licence Access datasets were deposited at UKDA during 2008 and have been added to the collection. Further information about the reweighting project may be found in the documentation.
The next APS/LFS reweighting exercise to be undertaken will use 2009 population figures, and it is planned that revised datasets will be deposited accordingly during 2010. |

Accessing these data
The coming into force of the Statistics and Registration Service Act in April 2008 brought an end to the Special Licence arrangements that had been in operation since September 2005. Access to these data continues but under a new legal framework set out in the Act. From April 2008, any registered user requiring Special Licence data has to be accredited by the UK Statistics Authority as an Approved Researcher. UK users can order the data from UKDA/ESDS in the usual way and will be directed to new Approved Researcher forms for completion. The older Special Licence forms can no longer be accepted.
