Business Register and Employment Survey 2010 results adjusted

On 14 December 2012 ONS released a set of 2010 BRES results which have been adjusted to remove the discontinuity that exists between 2010 and 2011 BRES. The 2010 data in the Nomis BRES dataset have been updated with this new data.

The discontinuity is a result of changes to the way directors of limited companies are classified and treated within the BRES results. This new version of 2010 BRES results has been made available to allow comparison with the latest BRES results for 2011, and replaces the previous version of 2010 results published on 28th September 2012. However, the previous version of 2010 results will be made available again to view on NOMIS in early 2013.

Details of the impact of the discontinuity can be found in the BRES Guidance and Methodology section of the National Statistics website.
