Future developments
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will be implementing a new coding and naming policy in early 2011. This policy has already been separately and independently implemented since 2004 by Scotland for all new or amended statistical geographies. This change will impact the file structure of the administrative data held on Postzon™and as a result impact the way in which your own system manages the data. For more detail, please view the PDF's at the foot of this page.
