Scottish National Investment Bank plc Scottish Government Central Government (S.1311) Monday, November 23, 2020 Scottish National Investment Bank (SNIB) plc is a government-owned bank set up to provide long
term capital to businesses and projects throughout Scotland to support the development of a more
sustainable economy.
ONS assessed SNIB plc in the context of internationally agreed statistical guidance as described in
the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008, European System of Accounts (ESA)
2010 and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019. ONS has
concluded that SNIB plc is an institutional unit under public sector control, as Scottish Ministers are
the sole shareholder, and appointments, and the removal of directors from the board require the prior
consent of the shareholder. As these controls apply for the SNIB group, the subsidiaries of SNIB plc
(Scottish Investments Limited (SIL) and Scottish Investments Services Limited (SISL)) are also
considered to be under public sector control.
SIL’s principal activity is to carry out investment opportunities, with SNIB plc also providing some
overlapping economic functions. SISL provides operational activities including IT services and HR
functions exclusively to the SNIB group, therefore falling within the definition of ancillary services in
ESA 2010 20.24. The review concluded that both SIL and SISL are not institutional units and are
therefore classified with their parent body, SNIB plc. Furthermore, SNIB plc is acting as the head
office in the SNIB group where it exercises managerial control over its subsidiaries (see ESA 2010
2.14).
SNIB plc was assessed using the captive financial institution guidance. Its range of activities is
limited, there are constraints on its assets as it relies on grant-in-aid from the Scottish Government,
and its primary objective is to deliver against specific public policy objectives. At the same time, its
liabilities are constrained as it is unable to borrow from anyone other than the Scottish Ministers.
The assessment concluded that SNIB plc is acting autonomously, and on behalf of its controlling
body, the Scottish Government, and has been classified to the central government subsector
(S.1311) with effect from 23 November 2020, the date the SNIB group was formally launched.
UK Health Security Agency Department of Health and Social Central Government (S.1311) Friday, October 1, 2021 The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) was created as an Executive Agency of the Department of
Care Health and Social Care (DHSC) for UK-wide public health protection and infectious disease
capability. The UKHSA is responsible for planning, preventing, and responding to external health
threats, and is accountable to the DHSC. It brings together Public Health England (PHE) and NHS
Test and Trace, as well as the analytical capability of the Joint Biosecurity Centre under a single
leadership team.
ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the UKHSA in the context of the latest
international statistical guidance as described in the United Nations System of National Accounts
(SNA) 2008, the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the accompanying Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019.
The assessment concluded that the UKHSA is an institutional unit and is under public sector control
as the Secretary of State has responsibility for the appointment of UKHSA's Chair and non-executive
members (ESA 2010, 20.309). The Secretary of State is accountable to Parliament in relation to the
functions and performance of the UKHSA. The assessment further concluded that as the UKHSA will
receive the majority of its funding from government, it is considered to be a non-market producer.
Therefore, the UKHSA is classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) from 1 October
2021, the date on which it became fully operational.

Industrial Strategy Services Ltd. As such, UK Shared Business Services Ltd is classified to the central government
subsector (S.1311).
Bulb Energy Limited in Special Department for Business, Energy and Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) Wednesday, November 24, 2021 Bulb Energy Limited (Bulb) is one of the UK's largest suppliers of gas and electricity which, following
Administration Industrial Strategy the energy price crisis, entered into a Special Administration Regime on 24 November 2021. This is a
process where the UK energy regulator Ofgem, after seeking consent from the Secretary of State for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), submits an application to the court to appoint energy
administrators to the company to manage the business while under special administration. BEIS and
the energy administrators have entered into a funding agreement which provided a funding capacity
to cover the costs of the period Bulb is in special administration.
ONS assessed the classification status of Bulb and has concluded that it is subject to public sector
control as it requires consent from the Secretary of State to take out contracts, make appointments
and sell and acquire assets. The assessment also concluded that Bulb is a market body as it
continues to pass the quantitative market test and continues to compete with other energy suppliers
(see ESA 2010, 20.29). As such, Bulb has been classified to the Public Non-Financial Corporations
subsector (S.11001) with effect from 24 November 2021, the date Bulb was placed into special
administration.
ONS also classified the payments from BEIS to Bulb in special administration, and has concluded
that they are capital injections, as they cover losses resulting from the energy price crisis and ensure
that as a utility company, Bulb continues its activities. As these payments are irregular and designed
to cover funding provided to a corporation that has shown a recent series of exceptional losses, ONS
has concluded that these payments are recorded as other capital transfers (D.99) in accordance with
international guidance (see MGDD 2019, 3.2.2.1,9).
Metropolitan Districts in England (En Bloc) Department for Levelling Up, Housing Local Government (S.1313) Metropolitan Districts (MDs) in England are single tier councils which provide most local government
and Communities services within their geographical areas, such as education, transport, planning and social care,
though some services are provided by joint authorities. ONS has assessed the classification status of
MDs in England, and has concluded that they are subject to public sector control as their corporate
policy, structure and funding are determined by government. The assessment also concluded that as
MDs in England receive the majority of their funding from government grants, business rates and
council tax, they are not market producers. As such, all MDs in England have been classified en bloc
to the local government subsector (S.1313) effective from the date of their establishment.
Unitary Authorities in Scotland (En Bloc) Scottish Government Local Government (S.1313) Unitary Authorities (UAs) in Scotland are single tier councils which provide a range of local
government services within their geographical areas, such as education, transport, planning and
social care. ONS has assessed the classification status of UAs in Scotland and has concluded that
they are subject to public sector control as their corporate policy, structure and funding are
determined by government. The assessment also concluded that as UAs in Scotland receive the
majority of their funding from government grants, business rates and council tax, they are not market
producers. As such, all UAs in Scotland have been classified en bloc to the local government
subsector (S.1313) effective from the date of their establishment.
Unitary Authorities in Wales (En Bloc) Welsh Government Local Government (S.1313) Unitary Authorities (UAs) in Wales are single tier councils which provide a range of local government
services within their geographical areas, such as education, transport, planning and social care. ONS
has assessed the classification status of UAs in Wales, and has concluded that they are subject to
public sector control as their corporate policy, structure and funding are determined by government.
The assessment also concluded that as UAs in Wales receive the majority of their funding from
government grants, business rates and council tax, they are not market producers. As such, all UAs
in Wales have been classified en bloc to the local government subsector (S.1313) effective from the
date of their establishment.
SE Trains Limited Department for Transport Public Non-Financial Corporations (S.11001) Sunday, October 17, 2021 ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of SE Trains Limited, the new operator of last resort
for London & South Eastern Railway (LSER) services.
The assessment concluded that SE Trains Limited is an institutional unit and is under public sector
control as it is a subsidiary of DfT OLR Holdings which is wholly owned by the Department for
Transport. The assessment acknowledged the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rail travel, but
further concluded that SE Trains Limited would continue to operate in the same way as its
predecessor and was therefore considered to be a market body. It will be reviewed again following
wider rail reform information becoming available.
It is therefore recommended that SE Trains Limited be classified to the public non-financial

corporations subsector (S.11001) with effect from 17 October 2021, the date that SE Trains Limited
took over the rail service operation from LSER.
UK Infrastructure Bank Limited Her Majesty's Treasury Central Government (S.1311) Thursday, June 17, 2021 UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB) Ltd is a new government-owned policy bank set up to tackle climate
change and support regional and local economic growth across the UK.
ONS assessed the UKIB in the context of internationally agreed statistical guidance as described in
the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit
and Debt (MGDD) 2019 and the United Nations System of National Accounts 2008. It concluded that
it is a separate institutional unit and has decision-making autonomy, as it is entitled to hold assets,
incur liabilities, produce accounts, engage in economic decisions for which it is held accountable by
law, and given operational independence in its day-to-day operations. ONS has also concluded that
UKIB is under public sector control as HM Treasury is its sole shareholder and also appoints key
directors to the UKIB Board.
UKIB was assessed using captive financial institution guidance. Its range of activities are limited as
they are specified by HMT. There are constraints on its assets as it can only invest in products and
industries within its policy remit and with the approval of HMT. At the same time, its liabilities are also
constrained as it is prohibited from borrowing without prior consent from HMT. It also does not act
with commerciality as its primary objective is to deliver against specific public policy objectives.
The assessment concluded that UKIB is acting on behalf of its controlling body, HMT, and has been
classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 17 June 2021, the date UKIB
became operational.
Flood Re Limited Department for Environment, Food Central Government (S.1311) Wednesday, November 11, 2015 Flood Re Limited is a reinsurance company, responsible for administering the Flood Reinsurance
and Rural Affairs Scheme. Flood Re Limited aims to improve the availability and affordability of flood insurance for
eligible properties, and to manage the transition to risk reflective pricing for household flood insurance
over a 25 year period. ONS assessed the sector classification status of Flood Re Limited, and
concluded that the entity is under public sector control, for reasons including that it administers a
scheme which is designed by government in response to public policy objectives, and because Flood
Re Limited cannot cease to provide flood reinsurance without approaching government. The
assessment concluded that Flood Re Limited carries out a limited range of activities in narrow
conditions set by government. There was evidence of government influence and constraints on both
the assets and liabilities of the entity, and aspects of the entity's operations which demonstrate that it
does not act like a commercial insurance company. For these reasons, Flood Re Limited has been
classified to the central government subsector (S.1311), in accordance with the Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt 2019 1.6.6,47. This decision takes effect from 11 November 2015, the
date on which the Flood Reinsurance (Scheme Funding and Administration) Regulations 2015 came
into force.

care. ONS has assessed the classification status of UAs and has concluded that they are subject to

Transport for Wales Rail Ltd Welsh Government Central Government (S.1311) Sunday, February 7, 2021 In November 2021, ONS assessed the classification status of Transport for Wales Rail Ltd, which
became responsible for the operation of passenger services on the Wales and Borders network,
following termination of the Operator & Development Partner Grant Agreement.
The assessment concluded that the entity is under public sector control, as it is wholly owned by
Transport for Wales, the latter being wholly owned by Welsh Ministers. The assessment also
concluded that Transport for Wales Rail Ltd is a non-market producer, based on the outcome of the
quantitative market test for the previous train operating company, Keolis Amey Operations Ltd, the
removal of franchise payments previously included in the market test, and the current levels of travel
and uncertainty around the use of rail services following the COVID-19 pandemic.
As such, Transport for Wales Rail Ltd will be classified to the central government subsector (S.1311).
This decision takes effect from 7 February 2021, the date on which the entity became responsible for
operating passenger rail services on the Wales and Borders network.
Pullman Rail Ltd Welsh Government Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) Friday, August 6, 2021 In November 2021, ONS assessed the classification status of Pullman Rail Ltd, which is a specialist
rail vehicle maintenance, repair and overhaul enterprise.
The assessment concluded that Pullman Rail Ltd came under public sector control when it was
acquired by Transport for Wales, the latter being owned by Welsh Ministers. The assessment also
concluded that Pullman Rail Ltd is a market producer, by reviewing its activities and income sources,
and it passing the quantitative market test.
As such, Pullman Rail Ltd will be classified to the public non-financial corporations subsector
(S.11001). This decision takes effect from 6 August 2021, the date on which Pullman Rail Ltd was
acquired by Transport for Wales.

Connected Places Catapult Department for Business, Energy and Central Government (S.1311) Wednesday, February 20, 2019 Connected Places Catapult (CPC) is a non-profit company with the aim of connecting businesses and
Industrial Strategy public sector leaders to spark innovation, grow new markets and catalyse improvements in the way
people live, work and travel. It was formed from the merger of Future Cities Catapult and Transport
Systems Catapult.
ONS has assessed the classification status of CPC and concluded that public sector control existed
because the public sector had the majority of the voting rights and had the authority to block special
resolutions. The assessment also concluded that CPC was a non-market producer as the majority of
its income came from non-competitive grant funding from central government.
As such, CPC has been classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 20
February 2019 until 8 December 2020, the period when it was under public sector control and had the
majority of its funding from non-competitive government grants.
Development Bank of Wales (DBW) Plc Welsh Government Central Government (S.1311) Friday, October 6, 2017 Development Bank of Wales Plc (DBW Plc) was set up by the Welsh Government (WG) to support
the Welsh economy by making it easier for businesses to receive the finance required to start up,
strengthen and grow.
ONS has assessed the classification status of DBW Plc and concluded that it is an institutional unit
and under public sector control as it is wholly owned by Welsh Ministers, its policy framework is set
by the relevant Welsh Minister with a remit letter covering each term of Government (5 years), and
Welsh Ministers agree and approve the Framework Document and DBW Plc’s Reward and
Remuneration Protocol every 3 years.
DBW Plc was assessed using captive financial institution guidance as it did not satisfy the criteria for
performing financial intermediation or the criteria for financial auxiliary activities. As such, its range of
activities are considered to be limited as its aims and objectives are specified by the WG. Its assets
are not transacted on the open market and it is not funded by banking or financial markets at market
conditions, but through a bilateral relationship with its controlling unit. Its liabilities are also
constrained as the whole DBW group cannot borrow without the prior authorisation of the WG.
Therefore, as WG has constraints on both DBW Plc’s assets and liabilities, it is mainly acting on
behalf of the WG, its controlling unit, (MGDD 2019, 1.6.6, 48), and its range of activities is governed
by the policy framework and remit letter set by Welsh Ministers. As such, DBW Plc has been
classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 6 October 2017, the date its
predecessor Finance Wales plc changed its name to DBW Plc and adopted the existing articles of
association.
The assessment also concluded that DBW Holdings Ltd, DBW Service Ltd and DBW Managers Ltd
are holding companies that do not have the requisite level of autonomy of decision to be institutional
units as they do not perform management functions or provide direction over their subsidiaries

The assessment concluded that DBW Investments (2) Ltd is an institutional unit and under public
sector control and has constraints on its assets and liabilities as its overarching remit is to fulfil public
policy i.e. operating within the territory of Wales, the majority of its funding is received from the WG
and it is unable to borrow without prior authorisation from WG. Therefore, as it has several features of
a captive financial institution, due to the constraints on both its assets and liabilities (MGDD 2019
1.6.6, 48) DBW Investments (2) Ltd is classified to the sector of its parent unit (Footnote 90 of MGDD
2019 1.6.6, 41), which is the central government subsector (S.1311)
DBW Investments (3) Ltd Welsh Government Central Government (S.1311) Friday, October 6, 2017 DBW Investments (3) Ltd performs fund investment activities from the funds it receives from the

request of their controlling unit (WG) and provided for the benefit of society. Therefore, as it has

liabilities (MGDD 2019 1.6.6, 48) DBW Investments (4) Ltd is classified to the sector of its parent unit
(Footnote 90 of MGDD 2019 1.6.6, 41), which is the central government subsector (S.1311).

classified to the Local Government subsector (S.1313) with effect from 25 March 2015, the date it
was incorporated.
Welsh Revenue Authority Welsh Government Central Government (S.1311) 1-Apr-18 The Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA), formed under the Tax Collection and Management (Wales) Act
2016, is responsible for the collection and management of two taxes devolved to Wales, the Land
Transaction Tax and the Landfill Disposals Tax.
ONS has assessed the classification status of WRA and has concluded that it is subject to public
sector control as the majority of its members are appointed by the Welsh Government (WG). The
assessment also concluded that WRA is not a market producer as the entirety of its funding comes in
the form of a grant from WG. As such, WRA has been classified to the Central Government subsector
(S.1311), effective from the date it became operational, 1 April 2018.
Local Authority Trading Companies Local Government (S.1313) 18-Sep-03 Local Authority Trading Companies (LATCs) are bodies that are free to operate as commercial
(LATCs) companies, but are wholly-owned and controlled by their parent Local Authority (LA) or Authorities.
LAs were granted the ability to create LATCs through the Local Government Act 2003.
EU procurement regulations usually require LAs to undertake a competitive tendering process before
awarding work to a company. However, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide an exception
to this process. This is known as the Teckal exemption, and allows LAs to award LATCs work without
the need for competitive tendering. The LATC qualifies for the Teckal exemption only if over 80% of
its turnover is from non-tendered activities awarded to them by the LA.
ONS has assessed the classification status of Teckal-exempted LATCs and has concluded that they
are subject to public sector control as they are wholly-owned by their parent LA or Authorities. The
assessment also concluded that Teckal-exempted LATCs are not market producers as they provide
the majority of their services on a non-competitive basis to their parent LA.
Therefore, Teckal-exempted LATCs have been classified en-bloc to the Local Government subsector
(S.1313) with effect from 18 September 2003, the date the Local Government Act 2003 received
Royal Assent. It was also determined that all LATCs that do not qualify for the Teckal exemption are
to be considered to belong to the Local Government subsector due to their similarities with Teckal-
exempted LATCs.
Animal and Plant Health Agency Defra Central Government (S.1311) 1-Oct-14 The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) ia an Executive Agency of the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) with responsibility for the health of animals, plants and
bees in the UK. APHA was formed following the merger of the Animal Health and Veterinary
Laboratories Agency with parts of the Food and Environment Research Agency. ONS has concluded
that public sector control of APHA exists, as Defra can appoint a majority of APHA’s Board. ONS
further concluded that APHA is a non-market body, because it receives the majority of its income from
grants from government. APHA has therefore been classified to the Central Government sub-sector
(S.1311). This classification is effective from 1 October 2014, the date APHA was formed.
London North Eastern Railway Ltd. (LNER) Department of Transport Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 14-Feb-18 ONS has carried out a classification assessment of London North Eastern Railway Ltd. (LNER), the
operator of last resort of the InterCity East Coast franchise. The assessment concluded that public
sector control of LNER exists as it is wholly owned by the Department for Transport. It is expected
that LNER will receive the bulk of its revenues from ticket sales, and has therefore been classified as
a Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001). This classification is effective from 14 February 2018,
the date it was brought out of dormancy by government.
Convention of Scottish Local Authorities Local Government (S.1313) 1-Jan-75 The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (CoSLA) represents local government in Scotland, and
(CoSLA) works with Scottish Councils to improve local services. ONS has concluded that public sector control
of CoSLA exists as the majority of CoSLA’s Convention are representatives of local government
bodies. The assessment also concluded that CoSLA is not a market producer as the majority of its
revenue (in the form of local authority subscription fees) is not economically significant. As such,
CoSLA has been classified within the Local Government subsector (S.1313).
Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Scottish Government Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 1-Apr-17 Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) (CES-(IM)) is an interim body, created to manage the
Management) Crown Estate's assets in Scotland, which include four rural estates, mineral and salmon fishing rights,
around 50% of the foreshore, and almost all of the seabed to 12 nautical miles and associated rights
on the Continental Shelf beyond 12 nautical miles (including leasing for renewable energy, pipelines
and cables). CES-(IM) commenced management of the Crown Estate assets in Scotland on 1 April
2017.
ONS formally assessed CES-(IM) in accordance with the internationally agreed rules in the European
System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and
Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016) and concluded that CES-(IM) is a public non-financial corporation
(S.11001).
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Local Government (S.1313) 1-Apr-14 The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority consists of six local authorities; Halton Borough
Council, Knowsley Council, Liverpool City Council, St. Helens Council, Sefton Council and Wirral

of LCRCA in accordance with the internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts
2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD
2016).
The assessment concluded that LCRCA is a public sector controlled body since its membership
consists of one member from each of the six constituent councils. LCRCA is funded by grants from
constituent councils and central government and is therefore a non-market body. The LCRCA is now
classified to the Local Government sector, effective from the date it was established, 1 April 2014.
Welsh Local Government Association Local Government (S.1313) 23-Feb-96 The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) was formed on 23 February 1996 to represent the
interests of Welsh local authorities, fire and rescue services and national park authorities. ONS
assessed the statistical classification of WLGA in accordance with the internationally agreed rules in
the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010). It concluded that WLGA is a non-market body
subject to public sector control due to local authority councillors and members of public sector bodies
comprising membership of WLGA. The WLGA has been classified to the Local Government
subsector (S.1313) with effect from 23 February 1996.

Community Safety Glasgow Glasgow City Council Local Government (S.1313) 1-Oct-06 Community Safety Glasgow was incorporated on 1 October 2006, as a partnership between Glasgow
City Council and Police Scotland as a charitable body to deal with crime prevention, antisocial
behaviour and community safety issues.
Assessing Community Safety Glasgow in accordance with internationally agreed rules set out in
ESA2010 and MGDD 2016, ONS concluded that it is an institutional unit which is controlled by
Glasgow City Council. This was due to Glasgow City Council having control of the position of chair on
the board, as well as a need for the directors to seek written approval if they wished to make changes
which compromised the purpose for which Community Safety Glasgow was originally set up. Due to
the majority of Community Safety Glasgow’s income coming from Glasgow City Council grants to
enable it to carry out its charitable activities, and not through sales being charged at economically
significant prices, it was not considered to be a market body. As a local government controlled non
market body, ONS concluded that Community Safety Glasgow is classified to the Local Government
subsector (S.1313).
Community Safety Glasgow also has two subsidiaries which had been set up to enable commercial
activity to be carried out but which did not compromise its charitable status. As with their parent, both
subsidiaries were assessed in accordance with ESA 2010 and MGDD 2016.
Community and Safety Services Limited was incorporated on 28 July 2009 .Through its board of
directors also having to serve on the board of Community Safety Glasgow, Community and Safety
Services Limited was identified as a publically controlled institutional unit. By providing commercial
security services at economically significant prices to non-Glasgow City Council customers,
Community and Safety Services Limited passed the market test criteria as outlined in ESA 2010, and
so it was considered to be a market body. As a publically controlled, market body, ONS concluded
that Community and Safety Services Limited should be classified as a public non-financial corporation
(S.11001).
Community Safety Glasgow's other subsidiary, Glasgow Security Services Community Interest
enable it to carry out its charitable activities, and not through sales being charged at economically
significant prices, it was not considered to be a market body. As a local government controlled non
market body, ONS concluded that Community Safety Glasgow is classified to the Local Government
subsector (S.1313).
Community Safety Glasgow also has two subsidiaries which had been set up to enable commercial
Community and Safety Services Limited Glasgow City Council Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 28-Jul-09
activity to be carried out but which did not compromise its charitable status. As with their parent, both
subsidiaries were assessed in accordance with ESA 2010 and MGDD 2016.
Community and Safety Services Limited was incorporated on 28 July 2009 .Through its board of
directors also having to serve on the board of Community Safety Glasgow, Community and Safety
Services Limited was identified as a publically controlled institutional unit. By providing commercial
security services at economically significant prices to non-Glasgow City Council customers,
Community and Safety Services Limited passed the market test criteria as outlined in ESA 2010, and
so it was considered to be a market body. As a publically controlled, market body, ONS concluded
that Community and Safety Services Limited should be classified as a public non-financial corporation
(S.11001).
Community Safety Glasgow's other subsidiary, Glasgow Security Services Community Interest
Company, was formed on 28 September 2009. ONS concluded that Glasgow Security Services
Community Interest Company should be consolidated with its parent, and not recorded separately on
the Public Sector Classification Guide. This was because it received its income by providing security
services solely to Glasgow City Council’s departments and arm length organisations. Also, Glasgow
City Council owned all the B shares of this company which gave it control to determine that it
continued to provide security services to the Council for which it was set up. As such, it was identified
to be an ancillary body which provided security services only to Glasgow City Council, and so was not
considered to be an institutional unit in its own right.
Scottish Housing Regulator Scottish Government Central Government (S.1311) 1st April 2011 The Scottish Housing Regulator was established on 1 April 2011 under the Housing (Scotland) Act
2010. It is the independent regulator of Registered Social Landlords and local authority housing
services in Scotland. ONS assessed the statistical classification of the Scottish Housing Regulator in
accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010)
and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). It is concluded that
the Scottish Housing Regulator is a public sector funded non-market body and so classified to the
Central Government (S.1311) subsector, with effect from 1 April 2011.

the public pension fund subsector (S.12901) and (ii) BBC was the pension manager in the central

concluded that (i) the Local Government Pension Scheme was the pension administrator in the public
pension fund subsector (S.12901) and (ii) Local Authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland were the scheme’s pension manager in the local government subsector (S.1313). This means
any difference between the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed
to the local government subsector as an asset/liability.
Transport for London Pension Fund Transport for London Public Pension Fund (S.12901) 1-Apr-89 The Transport for London Pension Fund provides pensions and other benefits to employees of
Transport for London and its subsidiaries under a defined benefit scheme. ONS assessed the

administrator in the public pension fund subsector (S.12901) and (ii) Transport for London, the
principal employer, was the pension manager in the local government subsector (S.1313). This
means any difference between the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be
attributed to the local government subsector as an asset/liability.

arrangement in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts
2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016).
ONS concluded that (i) the National Museum of Wales Pension Scheme is the pension administrator,
classified in the public pension fund subsector (S.12901) and (ii) the Welsh Government is the
pension manager, classified in the central government subsector (S.1311). This means any difference
between the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed to the central
government subsector as an asset/liability.

asset/liability.

Revenue Scotland and Tax Powers Act 2014. It is responsible for the collection and management of
devolved taxes in Scotland. ONS assessed the statistical classification of Revenue Scotland in
and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014). Revenue Scotland
was judged to be an institutional unit which undertakes tax collection on behalf of the Scottish
Government, and hence is considered as a non-market producer. ONS also concluded that Scottish
Ministers' rights to appoint the board of directors and key personnel to Revenue Scotland are
sufficient to establish the presence of public sector control. Consequently, as a public non-market

Financial Institutions and Money Lenders subsector (S.12702), from its incorporation on 29 October
2013.

Prestwick Airport Property Limited Scottish Government (SG) Consolidated with parent unit (Prestwick Airport Ltd) as 22-Nov-13 public holding companies as they meet the description of holding companies provided in ESA 2010
Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) para. 2.14 and are subject to public sector control through share ownership and board appointments
(by proxy). In accordance with MGDD I.6.2, 15-18, both units are to be recorded in the central
government (S.1311) subsector as captive financial institutions.
- Both Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited and Prestwick Airport Limited should be classified as public
non-financial corporations. This was due to the fact that both units charge economically significant
prices, pass the market test detailed in ESA 2010 3.33, and are subject to public sector control
through board appointments and share ownership (by proxy).
- Each of Airport Driving Range Company Limited, Prestwick Airport Property Limited and Prestwick
Airport Infrastructure Limited meet the description of artificial subsidiaries provided in ESA 2010,
2.24-2.26. Consequently, they will each be consolidated with their parent unit(s) as public non-
financial corporations.

purchased Prestwick Aviation Holdings Limited.
BBC Commercial Holdings Limited British Broadcasting Corporation Central Government (S.1311) 18-Jun-02 BBC Commercial Holdings Limited is the holding company for the British Broadcasting Corporation's
(BBC) (BBC) principal commercial subsidiary undertakings including BBC Worldwide Limited, BBC Global
News Limited, and BBC Studios & Post Production Limited. The parent body of BBC Commercial
Holdings Ltd is the BBC, which is classified in the Central Government subsector. BBC Commercial
Holdings Limited is a public-controlled holding company and therefore, following the European
System of Accounts 2010 ( ESA 2010) and accompanying 2014 Manual on Government and Deficit
and Debt (MGDD) rules, is classified to the central government sub-sector, effective 18 June 2002.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Department of Health Central Government (S.1311) 1-Jan-02 The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) was established in 2002. It is an organisation which was
set up by Parliament through the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001. The NMC is the regulator for
nurses and midwives in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Their core function is to
establish and improve standards of nursing and midwifery in order to serve and protect the public.
The ONS assessed whether the NMC should be classified as Central Government in the context of
new guidance in the 2014 Manual on Government and Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014) on market
regulatory bodies. It was concluded that as the NMC acts in the interest of the community as a whole
and has the characteristics of a Market Regulatory Body, it should be classified to the central
government subsector.
The English Heritage Trust Department for Culture, Media & Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 24-Nov-14 The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England (commonly known as "English
Sport (DCMS) Heritage") was first established in 1984 under the National Heritage Act 1983. The organisation
operated under this name until late 2014 and was responsible for championing and protecting
England's historic environment. On 24 November 2014, the Commission’s responsibilities for the
maintenance of the National Heritage Collection were transferred to the English Heritage Trust. ONS
assessed the statistical classification of the English Heritage Trust in accordance with rules in the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying 2014 Manual on Government
Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). The English Heritage Trust receives the majority of its funding
through market output such as membership fees and admissions and therefore, it was judged to be a
non-financial corporation. The English Heritage Trust was also judged to be subject to public sector
control through the appointment of officers and regulation detailing the objects of the Trust. As a
market producer subject to public sector control, the English Heritage Trust has been classified to the
public non-financial corporations (S.11001) sub-sector.
Canal & River Trust Department for Environment, Food Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 2-Jul-12 The British Waterways Board (BWB) was restructured on 2nd July 2012, and its English and Welsh
and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) operations transferred to a new charity called the Canal & River Trust (CRT). In accordance with the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying 2014 Manual on Government
Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014), it was judged that the Canal & River Trust is a market body because
there is sufficient evidence to suggest it charges economically significant prices and passes the
quantitative market test. The Canal & River Trust is judged to be under government control in
particular through the provisions of enabling instruments whereby the Secretary of State for the
Environment and Rural Affairs has the power to approve or deny certain corporate decisions (e.g.
dissolution). The Canal & River Trust is therefore classified as a public non-financial corporation
(S.11001).
Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Scottish Government (SG) Central Government (S.1311) 11-Dec-14 The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) is a transport infrastructure project being delivered
(AWPR) Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Scottish Government and a consortium of
private sector investors over a 30 year period. The AWPR will comprise 58km of new dual
carriageway which bypasses the city of Aberdeen and connects several surrounding local radial
routes. Operation and delivery of the AWPR Project is managed by three new special purpose
vehicles (SPVs); Aberdeen Roads Holdings Limited, Aberdeen Roads Limited, and Aberdeen Roads
Finance plc. The ONS assessed the classification of the three SPVs in accordance with rules in the
Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). It was judged that due to the contractual relationships and sharing of
directors between the three units, the SPVs should together be considered as one institutional unit for
statistical purposes. Based on the Scottish Government’s influence over the collective corporate
policy of the SPVs, including effective vetoes over key aspects and the accrual of surpluses to the
Scottish Government, it was judged that the AWPR SPVs are subject to public sector control. ONS
also concluded that the unit does not have the features of a market producer. Consequently, as a
non-market producer that is subject to public sector control, the AWPR SPVs are classified in the
Central Government subsector (S.1311).
Historic England Limited Department for Culture, Media and Sp Central Government (S.1311) 24-Nov-14 The Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England (commonly known as "Historic
England") was first established in 1984 under the National Heritage Act 1983. The organisation
operated under this name until late 2014 and was responsible for championing and protecting
England's historic environment. However, on 24 November 2014, all of The Historic Buildings and
Monuments Commission for England’s responsibilities were transferred to a newly incorporated unit;
Historic England Limited. ONS assessed the statistical classification of Historic England Limited in
accordance with rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying
2014 Manual of Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). Given that Historic England Limited
receives the majority of its funding through government grant-in-aid and is the sole provider of its
services (in England), it was judged to be an institutional unit producing non-market output. Historic
England Limited was also judged to be subject to public sector control. As a non-market producer
subject to public control, Historic England Limited will be classified to the central government (S.1311)
subsector.
Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) Ltd.The Nuclear Decommissioning AuthoriCentral Government (S.1311) 1-Apr-14 Until early 2014, Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) Ltd operated as a Non-Departmental Public
Body (NDPB) accountable to, and consolidated within, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA)
- a body classified to the Central Government (S.1311) subsector. However, from 1 April 2014, RWM
Ltd’s operations and responsibilities were transferred to a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the NDA,
prompting reassessment of its statistical classification. The ONS assessed RWM Ltd in accordance
with rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 and accompanying 2014 Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD). RWM Ltd was judged to be an institutional unit producing
non-market output. It was also concluded that RWM Ltd is subject to public sector control due to the
NDA’s influence over the general corporate policy of the unit. Consistent with this, RWM Ltd is
classified to the Central Government (S.1311) subsector from its incorporation.
Manchester Airport Group Plc Manchester City Council Public Non Financial Corporation (S.11001), Private Non 28-Feb-13 On 28th February 2013, Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd, a joint venture between Manchester City
Financial Corporation (S.11002) Council, 9 Manchester District Councils, and a private sector partner, purchased all shares in
Manchester Airport Group Plc. Control over the group is shared precisely between Manchester City
Council and the private sector partner and as such the arrangement is a "deadlock joint-venture".
Following governance changes in 2013, the group had been reclassified as a Private Non-Financial
Corporation under European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 rules (having previously been a public
corporation). In accordance with the new ESA 2010 rules whereby deadlock joint ventures are
partitioned into halves, one half of Manchester Airport Group Plc and each of its subsidiaries will be
recorded in the Public Non Financial Corporations sector (S.11001) and the other half in the Private
Non Financial Corporations (S.11002) from February 2013.
Manchester Airport Holdings Limited Manchester Airport Group Plc Public Financial Captive financial institutions and money 28-Feb-13 On 28th February 2013, Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd, a joint venture between Manchester City
lenders (S.12701), Private Captive financial institutions Council, 9 Manchester District Councils, and a private sector partner, purchased all shares in
and money lenders (S.12702) Manchester Airport Group Plc. Control over the group is shared precisely between Manchester City
Council and the private sector partner and as such the arrangement is a "deadlock joint-venture".
Following governance changes in 2013 the group (including Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd) had
been reclassified as a Private Non-Financial Corporation under European System of Accounts (ESA)
1995 rules (having previously been a public corporation). Under the new ESA2010 rules, holding
companies are classified as 'Captive Financial Institutions' in S.127; additionally, in accordance with
the new ESA 2010 rules whereby deadlock joint ventures are partitioned into halves, Manchester
Airport Holdings is partitioned between the public and private subsectors (S.12701 and S.12703).
The reclassification affects periods from February 2013 onward.
British Business Bank PLC Department for Business, Innovation anCentral Government (S.1311) 1-Jul-13 Incorporated in July 2013, British Business Bank PLC is wholly owned by the Department for
Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and is designed to increase the supply of credit to small and
medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Currently, British Business Bank PLC operates as a holding
company for the group operating as British Business Bank, which includes, amongst others, Capital
for Enterprise Ltd (currently classified to the central government (S.1311) sub-sector). ONS assessed
British Business Bank PLC against rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and
accompanying 2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt. ONS judged that because British
Business Bank does not exhibit sufficient decision making autonomy over the exercise of its principal
function, it should not be classified as a separate institutional unit. ONS also judged that as HM
Government is the sole shareholder in the company and the Secretary for State for BIS appoints the
entire Board of Directors, British Business Bank PLC is subject to public sector control. It was
therefore concluded that as British Business Bank PLC is not an institutional unit, it should be
consolidated to the sector of its controlling body (BIS), in this case the central government (S.1311)
sub-sector.
NPL Management Limited Department for Business, Innovation anPublic Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 1-Jan-15 Established in 1994, NPL Management Limited is responsible for managing the National Physical
Laboratory (NPL) on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). As the UK’s
National Measurement Institute, NPL develops and delivers measurement solutions, applying
accurate measurement science and technology. NPL Management Limited was contracted to
manage NPL under the Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) model and is responsible
for the provision of business support services and scientific research. Until early 2014, NPL
Management Limited was owned and operated by Serco, a private sector company, whilst NPL itself
continued to be owned by the Secretary of State (SoS) for BIS. However, BIS recently informed the
ONS that Serco’s contract expired on 31st December 2014, with the SoS for BIS acquiring 100%
ownership of NPL Management Limited on 1st January 2015. The ONS assessed NPL Management
Limited in the context of rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and guidance in
the 2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD). It was judged that because Government
holds 100% of the company’s shares and is required to approve all Board appointments, NPL
Management Limited is subject to public sector control. ONS also judged that NPL Management
Limited meets the conditions to be a market producer. It was therefore concluded that NPL
Management Limited should be classified as a Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001).
Shared Services Connect Limited (SSC) Cabinet Office (CO) Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) 1-Nov-13 Shared Services Connect Limited (SSC) was established under the Government’s Next Generation
Shared Services (NGSS) Programme which is designed to reform the delivery of Central Government
back-office support. It has been operating as a joint venture company between Cabinet Office and
Steria, the private sector partner, since 1st November 2013 and is responsible for the provision of
shared services across a number of government departments. Although assessment of SSC was not
preannounced in the NA Classifications Forward Work plan - December 2014, it was prioritised due to
its likely impact on public sector employment statistics. Assessment was conducted in the context of
rules in the ESA 2010 and guidance in the 2014 MGDD, which is consistent with ESA 2010. ONS
judged that due to the unanimous decision-making system enshrined in the legal agreements,
Government has the effective ability to veto decisions on a number of matters core to the business of
SSC. This control is further reinforced by the fact that the primary purpose of SSC is to deliver
shared services to Government. Therefore, in the immediate term, Government is likely to be able to
exert considerable influence over the general corporate policy of SSC Ltd through its position as the
only, and hence dominant, customer. It was therefore concluded that given SSC is a market
producer, it should be classified as a Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001).
Aggregator Vehicle PLC Department for Education (DfE) Central Government (S.1311) 8-Aug-14 The Aggregator Vehicle PLC, also referred to as the Aggregator, is a special purpose vehicle
designed to deliver finance to companies engaged in building and refurbishing schools under the
Priority Schools Building Programme (PSBP). Incorporated in August 2014, the Aggregator is
responsible for raising finance from a set of pre-determined investors and on-lending capital to project
companies contracted under the PSBP. The Aggregator is wholly-owned by a holding company,
Aggregator HoldCo Limited, which itself is owned by International Public Partnerships Bond Limited, a
private company. The ONS assessed the Aggregator Vehicle PLC in the context of rules in the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and guidance in the 2014 Manual on Government
Deficit and Debt (MGDD). It was judged that Department for Education's consent powers, over a
range of actions on both the borrowing (liabilities) and lending (assets) sides, limits the Aggregator’s
ability to determine general corporate policy. Given the core activity of the Aggregator is raising and
on-lending capital, control over assets and/or liabilities is effectively synonymous with control over
general corporate policy. It was therefore concluded that the Aggregator should be classified in the
General Government sector, specifically Central Government (S.1311).
Big Society Capital Group (Big Society Cabinet Office (CO) Central Government (S.1311) Apr-11 The Big Society Capital Group comprises of 3 entities; Big Society Trust (BST), Big Society Capital
Trust, Big Society Capital, Big Society (BSC) and Big Society Foundation (BSF). BST was established to ensure that BSC, the Group’s
Foundation) operating company, remains true to its mission of sustaining and growing the social investment
market. BST owns 60% of the shares in BSC and 80% of the voting rights, with the remaining 40% of
the shares and 20% of the voting rights held by four UK high-street banks. In turn, BSC is the sole
member of BSF, an organisation which receives charitable donations and surpluses from BSC and
uses these to make complementary grants. The Cabinet Office have an appointee on the Board of
Directors which gives the public sector a veto over changes to both BST’s and BSC’s Articles of
Association. Further, the public sector also has a veto over changes to aspects of the Governance
Agreement binding BST and BSC. The ONS assessed the Big Society Capital Group in the context
of guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the 2014 Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD). Pursuant to guidance concerning veto’s as an indicator of
control, it was concluded that the group should classified to the public sector. With regards to BSC,
the ONS judged that as the body is in a mode of managing assets, it exhibits the features of a
“captive financial institution”. Given BSC is subject to public sector control, it was concluded that it
should be classified to the Central Government sector. Pursuant to this decision, BTS and BSF are
also to be classified to the Central Government sector. The ONS will review the classification of BSC
at such a time it begins to finance its market lending primarily through borrowing on the financial
markets.
Devon Waste Management Limited Devon Waste Management Limited Private Non-Financial Corporation (S.11) Dec-03 Devon Waste Management Ltd (DWML) services contracts with Local Authorities for the disposal of
Holdings Limited household waste as well as providing waste disposal services to businesses. Previously, the
organisation was classified as a Public Sector Body as 100% of its share capital was owned by the
Local Authority. However, the ONS have been made aware that as of December 2003, the Public
Sector no longer holds any share capital in DWML, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of DWML
Holdings, a private limited company. At the time of the share sale, all existing public sector appointed
directors resigned and the new directors subsumed their positions. Based on these material
changes, the ONS concluded that DWML should be classified as a Private Non-financial Corporation
(S.11002).
Historic Environment Scotland Scottish Government (SG) Central Government (S.1311) 1-Apr-15 Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is a body due to be formed on 1st April 2015 from the merger
between Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments for
Scotland. Both merged bodies are currently classified under Central Government and their full
operational responsibilities are due to be transferred to HES on 1st October 2015. HES will act as
the lead body for Scotland’s historic environment and will be responsible for recording, protecting and
celebrating Scotland‘s historic environment. The ONS assessed whether the merged body, HES, will
remain subject to Public Sector controls in accordance with guidance in the European System of
Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010). It was concluded that as the Scottish Government has sufficient control
over corporate policy, including control of all executive board appointments, Historic Environment
Scotland should be classified as Central Government (S.1311). However, at such a point where the
State Government sector is introduced in the UK National Accounts, HES should be reclassified to
State Government (S.1312) on the basis that it is overseen by the Scottish Government and its
economic competence is coterminous with the Scottish 'state'.
Institution for Further Education (IFE) Department for Business, Innovation Private Non-Financial Corporation (S.11) 11-Nov-14 The Institution for Further Education (IFE) was established in July 2013 as a membership
and Skills (BIS) organisation for the higher performing Further Education colleges and training providers in England.
Principally, the IFE seeks to incentivise, encourage and assist the Further Education sector to
achieve the highest standards of service. Following changes to the executive board in November
2014, and in accordance with precedents set by other relevant classification decisions, the ONS will
record IFE as a 'Private Non-Financial Corporation' in S.11 from the point that the changes took place
onward.
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Department of Business, Energy & Central Government (S.1311) 1-Jul-14 The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) Archives Limited was established to manage and
Archives Limited (NAL) Industrial Strategy operate the NDA’s archive of records. It will be a wholly owned subsidiary of, and funded by, the
NDA and is part of a planned amalgamation of record management. The NDA is currently classified
as Central Government. As the NDA appoints the Chair of NAL’s Board of Directors along with its
executive members, all of which are current NDA staff, the ONS concluded that NDA Archives Limited
should be classified as Central Government (S.13) in the content of the guidance in ESA 2010.
Phonepay Plus The Office of Communications Central Government (S.1311) Dec-07 Under the Communication Act 2003, The Office of Communications (Ofcom) was given responsibility
(Ofcom) for the formal regulation of premium rate phone services (PRS) and in December 2007, confirmed
that Phonepay Plus would act as the agency which carries out the day-to-day regulation of the PRS
market on its behalf. ONS judged that Phonepay Plus is a 'market regulatory body' in the context of
new guidance in the 2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt. On that basis, and also due to
Ofcom approval of all board members (including the chairperson), Phonepay Plus is classified to the
Public Sector. Furthermore, as the majority of Phonepay Plus’ non-fine revenue is generated through
a mandatory levy imposed on PRS providers, which is classified as a “tax on products, except VAT
and import taxes”, and as only government can levy taxes, Phonepay Plus is a non-market producer
classified to the Central Government sector.
The Single Source Regulations Office Ministry of Defence (MoD) Central Government (S.1311) Not applicable The Single Source Regulations Office (SSRO) was established under the 2014 Defence Reform Act
for the purpose of regulating single source contracts between Ministry of Defence (MoD) and primary
contractors. Specifically, the SSRO aims to ensure value for money in the award of Ministry of
Defence (MoD) contracts not subject to competition. The SSRO is not permitted to borrow from the
private sector and was judged by NACC to lack sufficient autonomy of decision making in the
exercise of its principal functions to be classified as an 'institutional unit' in accordance with the 2010
European System of Accounts. In this circumstance, the body is consolidated to the sector of its
controlling body - in this case the MoD. The SSRO is therefore classified to the Central Government
sector.
Institution for Further Education (IFE) Department for Business, Innovation, Public Corporation (S.11001) Jul-13 The Institution for Further Education (IFE) is a membership organisation that offers "higher
and Skills (BIS) performing" Further Education colleges and training providers a collective status akin to that of
universities. Due to the appointments process followed whereby a ministerially appointed chair
appointed the remainder of the board, IFE is classified to the public sector. Whilst the body will be
funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills (BIS) in its first year of operation, IFE
will be treated as a market entity because it is expected to be fully funded by sales of memberships in
following years. As such, 50% of operating costs will be covered by sales (membership fees paid by
Further Education colleges and training providers). ONS will monitor IFE to check this has been
achieved and will re-classify IFE as a non-market unit if necessary. As a public market entity, IFE is
classified as a public non-financial corporation from the date of its incorporation.
Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Department of Business, Energy & Public Corporation (S.11001) Mar-14 The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is a statutory body established under Section 77 of the
Industrial Strategy Energy Act 2013. It is responsible for regulation of nuclear safety and security across the UK and
holds the nuclear industry to account on behalf of the public. The majority of ONR's board is
appointed by the public sector, and ONR's main source of income is licensing fees from the nuclear
industry; these are considered as sales for the purpose of the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 10) market test. As a public, market body, ONR is classified as a public non-financial
corporation from the date of its establishment.
Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Central Government (S.1311) Jun-14 The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has commenced steps to restructure the National Offender

HM Treasury UK Sovereign Sukuk Plc Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) Central Government (S.1311) May-14 HM Treasury UK Sovereign Sukuk Plc was set up to facilitate the issuance of sovereign sukuk and is
100% owned by HMT. The body has similar characteristics to that of a Special Purpose Vehicle
(SPV), and in line with guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10), it is classified
with its ultimate parent - HMT. Consequently, the body is classified as a Central Government body
from May 2014 - the date it was incorporated.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Home Office Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) Dec-12 The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) was established on 1 December 2012 as a body corporate
under section 87 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. The DBS has taken over the functions of
the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) - its
predecessor bodies. It is majority funded by income from 'standard' and 'enhanced' disclosure fees -
which constitute sales for the purpose of the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) market
test. As a market, public body, the DBS is classified as a Public Non-Financial Corporation from its
creation in December 2012.
Direct Line Group Not applicable Former Public Corporation (S.12801) Sep-13 Direct Line Group launched in 1985 in partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group, and
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the RBS Group in 1988. Direct Line was floated in October
2012, with RBS retaining a 48.5% stake in the business. This stake was reduced to 28.5% following a
further share sale in September 2013. In the absence of other public sector controls, the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) considers the government shareholding size of 28.5% in the Direct Line
Group not sufficient to exert public sector control. Therefore, the Direct Line Group is classified as a
Private Financial Corporation from September 2013. The Direct Line Group will be added to the
Public Sector Classification Guide as a Public Corporation from the dates October 2012 to September
2013, and then be treated on the guide as a Former Public Corporation from September 2013. Since
the review, RBS has announced that it plans to sell its remaining shares in Direct Line Group (see
BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26361479).
City Airport Rail Enterprises (Holdings) Transport Trading Limited Local Government (S.1313) Nov-11 City Airport Rail Enterprises (Holdings) Limited holds the share capital of City Airport Rail Enterprises
Limited Plc (CARE Plc), and was acquired by Transport Trading Limited in November 2011. CARE (Holdings)
Ltd has no managerial control and exists only to hold the shares in CARE Plc, with its directors
appointed by Transport for London (TfL). The latest guidance in the European System of Accounts
2010 (ESA 10) states that a holding company that has no managerial control is a captive financial
institution, which is classified to the sector of its controlling body - in this case, Transport Trading
Limited (TTL). As TTL is classified to the Local Government sector, CARE (Holdings) Ltd will be
classified as Local Government from November 2011- the date at which it was acquired by TTL.
City Airport Rail Enterprises Plc Transport Trading Limited Local Government (S.1313) Nov-11 City Airport Rail Enterprises Plc (CARE plc) entered into a Private Finance Initiative (PFI) concession
contract with Docklands Light Railway Ltd to design, build, finance and maintain an extension to the
Docklands Light Railway from Canning Town to London City Airport. The company is wholly owned
by Transport Trading Limited and has no employees - with services provided by fellow subsidiaries.
The body is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and, under the latest guidance in the European System
of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10), SPV's are classified to the same sector as their parent body. As
Transport Trading Limited (TTL) is classified to the Local Government sector, this classification will be
applied to CARE Plc from November 2011 - the date at which its holding company, City Airport Rail
Enterprises (Holdings) Limited, was acquired by TTL.
Transport for London Finance Limited Transport Trading Limited Local Government (S.1313) Nov-08 Transport for London Finance Limited is a subsidiary of Transport Trading Limited - with the board
appointed by Transport for London which is the ultimate parent body. Transport for London Finance
Limited fits the description of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) under paragraph 2.17 of the European
System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) - which is an entity set up to perform a specific purpose or isolate
financial risk, specific taxation or a regulatory risk. As an SPV of general government, the guidance
states that these type of bodies should be allocated to the sector of their controlling body - Transport
Trading Limited. Therefore, Transport for London Finance Limited will be classified to the Local
Government sector from its incorporation in November 2008.
Woolwich Arsenal Rail Enterprises Transport Trading Limited Local Government (S.1313) 2011 Woolwich Arsenal Rail Enterprises (Holdings) Limited is the holding company for Woolwich Arsenal
(Holdings) Limited Rail Enterprises Limited. The company has four directors-all of whom are appointed by Transport for
London (TfL). As the body has no managerial functions, it is treated under the latest guidance - the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) as a holding company and should be classified to the
same sector as its ultimate parent company. Therefore, Woolwich Arsenal Rail Enterprises (Holdings)
Limited will be classified as a Local Government body from 2011- the date at which Woolwich Arsenal
Rail Enterprises Limited was acquired by TfL.
Woolwich Arsenal Rail Enterprises Limited Transport Trading Limited Local Government (S.1313) 2011 Woolwich Arsenal Rail Enterprises Limited is responsible for the design, building, financing and
maintenance of the extension of the Docklands Light Railway between King George V Station to
Woolwich Arsenal. The body is owned by Transport for London (TfL), which acquired 100% equity in
the company in 2011. will be classified to the Local Government sector. The board comprises of four
directors - who are all TfL appointees. As a public, non-market body, Woolwich Arsenal Rail
Enterprises Limited is classified as a Local Government body from 2011- the date at which is was
acquired by TfL.
Network Rail (and subsidiaries) Department for Transport (DfT) Central Government - S.1311 Apr-04 Network Rail is a company limited by guarantee, originally incorporated in March 2002. The body
owns and operates the United Kingdom's rail infrastructure network. The existing classification was
reviewed following new guidance in the 2010 European System of Accounts (ESA10). Under the
ESA10 rules, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) concluded that because of government’s risk
exposure through guaranteeing its debt, Network Rail is a government controlled body and, therefore
is within the public sector. Following an ESA10 market test, ONS concluded that Network Rail is a
non-market body. Consequently, Network Rail is classified within the Central Government sector from
April 2004.
For further details see the ONS publication on the classification of Network Rail
First Rate Exchange Services Limited Department for Business, Innovation PFC (S.12401) 2002 First Rate Exchange Services Limited is a company which operates in the UK through the Post Office
and Skills (BIS) to provide an 'in house' foreign exchange facility. It has been providing Foreign Exchange services
since 1994 but became a joint venture between Post Office Limited and First Rate Enterprises in
2002. The 2009 Articles of Association show that Post Office Limited and First Rate Enterprises each
hold half of the ordinary shares (£1,000 each) and the same voting rights. As the company is a joint
venture between a public sector body in the UK, and another outside the UK (i.e. Bank of Ireland,
classified to the 'Rest of the World'), First Rate Exchange Services Limited will be treated as a public
sector body. Furthermore, as First Rate Exchange Services Limited is a market producer with its
principle activities relating to financial intermediation, it will be classified as a Public Corporation and
more specifically, in the Financial Corporation sub-sector as a Financial Auxiliary (S.12401).
First Rate Exchange Services Holdings Department for Business, Innovation PFC (S.12401) 2002 First Rate Exchange Services Holdings Limited is a 50% owned subsidiary of Post Office Limited and
Limited and Skills (BIS) an equal joint venture with First Rate Enterprises - which is owned by Bank of Ireland. First Rate
Exchange Services Holdings Limited is the holding company for First Rate Exchange Services
Limited (classified above). This company exists purely to hold shares in its subsidiary company, and
will be classified as a Public Financial Corporation in line with its subsidiary and specifically in the
Financial Auxiliaries sub-sector.
Postal Services Holding Company Plc. Department for Business, Innovation CG (S.1311) Sep-00 Postal Services Holding Company Limited was incorporated in September 2000 under the name
and Skills (BIS) Expandreserve Public Limited Company and most recently changed its name from Royal Mail
Holdings Plc in September 2013. The body is wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Business,
Innovation and Skills and exists to hold and manage the UK Government's shares in Royal Mail Plc
and Post Office Limited. Postal Services Holding Company Plc will be classified as a Central
Government body.
Royal Mail Plc. (and subsidiaries) Department for Business, Innovation Former PC Oct-13 Royal Mail Plc was incorporated in September 2013 in advance of a planned sale of shares in the
and Skills (BIS) postal delivery business. Royal Mail Plc was floated on the UK stock market in October 2013 and as
a result, the UK Government reduced their shareholding (held through Postal Services Holding
Company Plc.) from 100% to 30%. 60% of the company was sold on the London Stock Exchange
and a further 10% of shares were given to eligible Royal Mail employees. Consequently, Royal Mail
Plc and its subsidiaries (including Royal Mail Group Ltd.) move from the Public Sector to the Private
Sector and are classified as Private Non-Financial Corporations from October 2013.
Air Safety Support International Ltd (ASSI) Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) CG - S.1311 Nov-00 ASSI was incorporated in November 2000 (known as Civil Aviation Authority Services Ltd until
January 2003) as the body through which the CAA ensures the UK meets its international obligations
on aviation safety oversight in the UK's Overseas Territories, such as the Falkland Islands and the
British Virgin Islands. Prior to the Civil Aviation Act 2012, the CAA's board were all appointed by the
Secretary of State for Transport. Following the introduction of the Act, the Secretary of State for
Transport appoints the Chair, Chief Executive and the non-executive directors of the board, with the
Chief Executive then appointing the executive members of the board with the approval of the Chair
and at least one other non-executive member. Therefore, the CAA is clearly part of the public sector.
The majority of the body's income comes from grants from the Department for Transport (DfT), and as
such, the body is non-market. ASSI will therefore be added to the guide as a Central Government
body from its creation in 2000.
Civil Aviation Authority International Ltd Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) CG - S.1311 Nov-00 CAA International Ltd (known as Civil Aviation Authority Facilities Ltd until January 2007) was

Transport appoints the Chair, Chief Executive and the non-executive directors of the board, with the
Chief Executive then appointing the executive members of the board with the approval of the Chair
and at least one other non-executive member. Therefore, the CAA is clearly part of the public sector.
The majority of the body's income seems to be from sales and therefore the body is market.

becoming fully operational in April 2014. The board is appointed by the Secretary of State for

Government body.

organisations for the individual CAB charities beneath them. The National Association of Citizens
The Scottish Association of Citizens Advice BIS CG Apr-05 Advice Bureau (England and Wales) and The Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureau were
Bureau not previously classified on the PSCG but are public sector controlled bodies, via the funding
agreements between themselves and the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The

Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureau are classified as Central Government bodies, effective
from April 2005. Total expenditure of these two bodies is approximately £66m of which >80% is from
Government grants. The classification of these bodies will be implemented in Blue Book 14 in both

Financial Conduct Authority HMT FC Apr-13 Previously called the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the FSA's roles were reduced significantly in
April 2013, with a number of its regulatory functions being moved to a new body, the Prudential
Regulatory Authority. The remaining, slimmed down body has been renamed the Financial Conduct
Authority and is now mainly responsible for overseeing the interests of customers. As a central
supervisory body of financial intermediaries and financial markets, in line with specific guidance in
ESA 95, it is classified as a Public Financial Auxiliary in the Financial Corporations sector, rather
than within General Government. The Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation
Authority (see below) are both funded through industry levies. These levies, previously levied by the
FSA, have historically been regarded as the sale of services by the FSA to the financial services
industry. However discussions are currently taking place internationally between Eurostat and
National Statistical Institutes on whether these compulsory charges should be viewed as taxes and
rerouted via the government sector. Once these discussions have concluded we will classify these
levies.

Authority was established on 1 April 2013 It is a subsidiary company of the Bank of England, and is

insurers and major investment firms. The PRA’s role is defined in terms of two statutory objectives to
promote the safety and soundness of these firms and, specifically for insurers, to contribute to the
securing of an appropriate degree of protection for policyholders. As a central supervisory body of
financial intermediaries and financial markets, that can be identified separately to the Bank of
England, in line with specific guidance in ESA 95, it is classified as a Public Financial Auxiliary in the
Financial Corporations sector, rather than within General Government or within the Central Bank sub-
sector. The Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority are both funded
through industry levies. These levies, previously levied by the FSA, have historically been regarded
as the sale of services by the FSA to the financial services industry. However discussions are
currently taking place internationally between Eurostat and National Statistical Institutes on whether
these compulsory charges should be viewed as taxes and rerouted via the government sector. Once
these discussions have concluded we will classify these levies.

The Non-Fossil Purchasing Agency Ltd Ofgem PC - S.11001 Oct-00 Under the 1989 Electricity Act, the Secretary of State made five Non-Fossil Fuel Orders requiring the
then public sector owned Regional Electricity Companies (RECs) in England and Wales to contract
for certain amounts of electricity generating capacity from renewable sources. The Non-Fossil
Purchasing Agency Ltd (NFPA) was set up in 1990 by the twelve RECs as their agent for the purpose
of enabling them to enter into collective arrangements to discharge their obligations under the Orders.
When the electricity companies were privatised, NFPA would have become a private sector company
as well. However in 2000, new electricity trading arrangements were introduced, and the NFPA's role
was changed, to become the "nominated person" under another piece of secondary legislation
Electricity from Non-Fossil Fuel Sources Saving Arrangement Order 2000. NFPA is essentially an
intermediary, that purchases electricity from renewable generators, and sells electricity to suppliers.
Importantly, all surpluses generated from this activity is surrendered to Ofgem. This effectively gives
Ofgem 100% of the economic benefits of the NFPA, and therefore places the body under public
sector control. It is classified as a public non-financial corporation as its income is mainly derived from
the auction of electricity.

waters around both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland within the UK), is one of three
"General Lighthouse Authorities" for the British Isles. General Lighthouse Authorities have historically
been classified as Public Non-Financial Corporations. Following a review, ONS has concluded that
General Lighthouse Authorities should be reclassified as Central Government bodies (see below), as
they are mainly funded by "Light Dues" - which ONS have concluded should be treated as D.29 taxes
(discussed further below). Control and funding of the Commissioners of Irish Lights is shared
between the UK and Irish Government (the Irish government provides grant funding to CIL to
supplement Light Dues collected by the General Lighthouse Fund), and so ONS have agreed with
Central Statistical Office (CSO) Ireland to treat CIL in a similar way to the Irish North-South bodies,
(One of the Irish North-South bodies is intended to take over the operations of CIL at some point).

Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd Foreign controlled non-financial corporation (S.11003) Saturday, February 6, 2021 In November 2021, ONS assessed the classification status of Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd (AIW),
originally named Amey Keolis Infrastructure Ltd. AIW is the Infrastructure Manager for the Core
Valleys Lines.
The assessment concluded that the company was not under public sector control during the
Emergency Measures Agreement (EMA) with the Welsh Government, under which financial support
was provided to ensure the continuity of rail services on the Wales and Borders network. The
assessment also concluded that the company was not under public sector control after the ODP
Grant Agreement was terminated, at which point AIW held a direct contractual relationship with
Transport for Wales.
The assessment concluded that AIW is a market producer, following a review of its activities and
income sources, and it passing the quantitative market test. As such, Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd
will be classified to the private non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002). This decision takes
effect from 6 February 2021, the date on which the members of the company passed a special
resolution to change its name.
Update 31 March 2022: Following this decision, it has been established that AIW is a subsidiary of
the Spanish infrastructure services company, Ferrovial. It is therefore reclassified to the foreign
controlled non-financial corporation subsector (S.11003), with the effective date of 6 February 2021
unchanged.
TFW Innovation Services Ltd Welsh Government Central Government (S.1311) Tuesday, December 15, 2020 In November 2021, ONS assessed the classification status of TFW Innovation Services Ltd, which
purchases intellectual property assets and consultation services for Transport for Wales.
The assessment concluded that the entity does not have the requisite autonomy of decision to be an
institutional unit, for reasons including that the assets and services it purchases are determined by
Transport for Wales, which holds a majority of the company's shares.
TFW Innovation Services Ltd is therefore considered to be part of its controlling party, Transport for
Wales, which is classified to the central government subsector (S.1311). This decision takes effect
from 15 December 2020, the date on which TFW Innovation Services Ltd was incorporated.
British Business Bank plc Department for Business, Energy and Central Government (S.1311) Tuesday, February 10, 2015 British Business Bank (BBB) plc was incorporated on 18 July 2013, is wholly owned by the
Industrial Strategy Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and is designed to manage the UK
Government’s access to finance programmes by providing funding and guarantees to private sector
partners to help enable these partners to finance a greater number of smaller businesses. ONS
assessed BBB in May 2015 against rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014) and it deemed BBB to
not have sufficient decision-making autonomy to be an institutional unit. It was therefore consolidated
to the sector of its controlling body (BEIS), in the central government subsector (S.1311) from 18 July
2013 to 9 February 2015.
ONS carried out a further classification review of the BBB in November 2021 following a request from
HM Treasury. The assessment concluded that BBB is a separate institutional unit and has decision-
making autonomy; it is entitled to own assets and incur liabilities which are present in its balance
sheet. It takes economic decisions and engages in economic activities through entering into contracts
with private sector partners. Its public sector control remains unchanged with BEIS as its sole
shareholder and having control over the BBB Board.
BBB was assessed using captive financial institution guidance as it does not satisfy the criteria for
performing financial intermediation or financial auxiliary activities. As such, its range of activities were
limited as its aims and objectives are specified by BEIS. Its assets are not transacted on the open
market and is it is not funded by banking or financial markets at market conditions. There are also
restrictions placed on BBB that require explicit government approval via BEIS. Its liabilities are also
constrained as they are prohibited from borrowing without prior consent from HM Treasury.
Therefore, BBB has been classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 10
February 2015, the date the Shareholder Relationship Framework document was signed and agreed
between BEIS and BBB.

consideration to a range of factors including the composition of, and appointments process relating to,
the governing body. The assessment also concluded that the Crouch Harbour Authority is a market
producer, as the majority of its income is derived from charges for the supply of services. As such, the
assessment concluded that Crouch Harbour Authority should continue to be classified to the private
non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002).

purpose of acting as the trustee for the scheme. As a majority of the trustees are appointed by the

trustees being classified within the Public Pension Funds subsector (S.12901) with effect from 29
October 1999, the date Bank of England Pension Fund Trustees Ltd. was incorporated. ONS has also
determined that the Pension Manager is the Bank of England as it bears responsibility for the

the internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016. In doing so, ONS determined that the
plan is a Defined Benefit Scheme which is administered by Ofcom Pension Trustees, a limited
company. ONS also established that the majority of these trustees can be appointed by Ofcom, a
body that is classified within the Central Government subsector (S.1311) of the ESA 2010 framework.
Based on this information, ONS determined that Ofcom Pension Trustees is the Pension
Administrator for the plan and that Ofcom Pension Trustees should be classified within the “public
controlled pension funds” subsector (S.12901). ONS also judged that Ofcom is the body that bears
the ultimate responsibility for the pension liabilities of the plan and as such is the Pension Manager.

“foreign controlled non-financial corporation” sub sector (S.11003).

controlling body, which is HMG which owns 90% of GIP.
NNBG concessionaire involved in Hinkley Foreign Controlled Non-Financial Corporation (S.11003) 29-Sep-16 Following signing of the Hinkley Point C (HPC) contract documents on 29 September 2016, the Office
Point C Project for National Statistics (ONS) has undertaken a review to provide a statistical classification of the
Hinkley Point C project. ONS has determined that,
• The project can best be described, for statistical purposes, as a concession for the operation of a
nuclear reactor at HPC, with the reactor being built as part of the arrangement.
• The concessionaire, NNB Generation Company limited (NNBG), is a private market producer and
will be classified as a Foreign Controlled Non-Financial Corporation (S.11003) in ONS economic
statistics. This is because its corporate policy is not subject to control from government and it is
expected to sell its output of electricity at economically significant prices. Although the output is
subject to a Contract for Differences agreement with the Low Carbon Contracts Company this does
not impact on the classification of the output.
• The economic owner of the concession assets (i.e. the power plant) is NNBG therefore the assets
and associated liabilities will be recorded in the private sector balance sheet.
Wool Growers (Great Britain) Limited Not an institutional unit, consolidated with parent 28-May-59 Wool Growers (Great Britain) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the British Wool Marketing
company, BritishWool Marketing Board. Board (BWMB) which is classified as a public non-financial corporation (S.11001).
The ONS Economic Statistics Classifications Committee formally assessed the classification of Wool
Growers in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 2010) and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016).
The assessment concluded that Wool Growers did not satisfy the definition of an institutional unit
because it lacks the ability to act independently from its parent corporation. On this basis, Wool
Growers is an artificial subsidiary and is consolidated with its parent company, effective 28 May 1959.
Stirling Care Village hub DBFM (Design, Scottish Government 1-Dec-16 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Stirling Care Village hub DBFM (Design, Build,
Build, Finance and Maintain) Finance and Maintain) project under the rules laid out in the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 2010), and the Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016) guidelines. As this
project was signed on 1 December 2016, it is also subject to review under new guidelines published
in September 2016 by the European Public Private Partnership Expertise Centre (EPEC) and the
European Investment bank (EIB). This project will include the construction of healthcare facilities
under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Scottish Hub Programme, and will be
built in the grounds of Stirling Community Hospital. Following assessment, ONS reached the following
conclusions:
• Amber Blue East Central Ltd, the private sector development partner for this project is a private
sector controlled institutional unit and is a holding company. As such it should be recorded to the
private captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.12702) subsector.
• Hub East Central (SCV) Midco Ltd and Hub East Central (SCV) Ltd have been set up as special
purpose vehicles. Hub East Central (SCV) Midco Ltd is the project's main shareholder while Hub East
Central (SCV) Ltd designs, builds, finances and maintains the assets in the hub project. As Hub East
Central (SCV) Ltd is 100 per cent owned by Hub East Central (SCV) Midco Ltd, their classification
was, on balance, considered to be a single private sector controlled institutional unit and should be
recorded to the private captive financial institutions and money lender (S.12702) subsector.
• The contract issued under this hub project should be considered a PPP in accordance with the
definitions in ESA 2010 paragraphs 15.41 and 20.276-20.290 and also in MGDD 2016 Part VI.4.
• The assets linked to this arrangement should be recorded on the private sector partner's balance
sheet. This is because almost all of the risk and rewards in the PPP arrangement rest with the private
partner. Additionally, government is not providing the majority of the finance or acting as a significant
guarantor.
Railway Pension Scheme -1994 Pensioners Department for Transport Private Pension Fund (S.12902) 1-Oct-94 The Railway Pension Scheme was established in 1994 following the privatisation of British Rail as a
Section replacement for the old British Rail Pension Scheme. The Railway Pension Scheme (RPS) -1994
Pensioners Section provides pensions and other benefits to pensioners in the British Railways
Pension Scheme on 30 September 1994 under a defined benefit scheme. ONS assessed the RPS -
1994 Pensioners Section in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of
(MGDD 2016). ONS concluded that (i) the Railway Pension Scheme was the pension administrator in
the private pension fund subsector (S.12902) and (ii) the Secretary of State for Transport, was the
pension manager in the central government subsector (S.1311). This means any difference between
the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed to the central
government subsector as an asset/liability.

Section provides pensions and other benefits to pensioners in the British Railways Pension Scheme
transferred to the Shared Cost Arrangement part on 1 October 1994 under a defined benefit scheme.
ONS assessed the RPS -BR Section in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European
2016 (MGDD 2016). ONS concluded that (i) the Railway Pension Scheme was the pension
administrator in the private pension fund subsector (S.12902) and (ii) the Secretary of State for
Transport, was the pension manager in the central government subsector (S.1311). This means any
difference between the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed to
the central government subsector as an asset/liability.
Railway Pension Scheme – British Department for Transport Private Pension Fund (S.12902) 1-Oct-94 The Railway Pension Scheme was established in 1994 following the privatisation of British Rail as a
Transport Police Section replacement for the old British Rail Pension Scheme. The Railway Pension Scheme (RPS) - British
Transport Police Section provides pensions and other benefits to employees in the British Transport

Section in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). ONS
concluded that (i) the Railway Pension Scheme was the pension administrator in the private pension
fund subsector (S.12902) and (ii) the Secretary of State for Transport, was the pension manager in
the central government subsector (S.1311). This means any difference between the pension
entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed to the central government
subsector as an asset/liability.
Railway Pension Scheme – East Coast Directly Operated Railways Private Pension Fund (S.12902) From 13 Nov 09 to 28 Feb 15 The Railway Pension Scheme was established in 1994 following the privatisation of British Rail as a
Main Line Section replacement for the old British Rail Pension Scheme. The Railway Pension Scheme (RPS) - Railway
Pension Scheme – East Coast Main Line Section provides pensions and other benefits to employees
in East Coast Main Line Company Limited under a defined benefit scheme. ONS assessed the RPS
- East Coast Main Line Section (when it was in the public sector) in accordance with internationally
agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). ONS concluded that (i) the Railway Pension
Scheme was the pension administrator in the private pension fund subsector (S.12902) and (ii)
Directly Operated Railways, was the pension manager in the central government subsector (S.1311).
This means any difference between the pension entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will
be attributed to the central government subsector as an asset/liability.
Railway Pension Scheme – London London Underground Ltd Private Pension Fund (S.12902) 1-Oct-94 The Railway Pension Scheme was established in 1994 following the privatisation of British Rail as a
Underground Section replacement for the old British Rail Pension Scheme. The Railway Pension Scheme (RPS) - London
Underground Section provides pensions and other benefits to employees of London Underground Ltd
under a defined benefit scheme. ONS assessed the RPS - London Underground Section in
and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). ONS concluded
that (i) the Railway Pension Scheme was the pension administrator in the private pension fund
subsector (S.12902) and (ii) London Underground Ltd, was the pension manager in the public non-
financial corporation subsector (S.11001). This means any difference between the pension
entitlements and the assets held by the Scheme will be attributed to the public non-financial
corporation subsector as an asset/liability.
Railway Pension Scheme – Network Rail Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd Private Pension Fund (S.12902) 1-Apr-04 The Railway Pension Scheme was established in 1994 following the privatisation of British Rail as a
Section replacement for the old British Rail Pension Scheme. The Railway Pension Scheme (RPS) - Network
Rail Section provides pensions and other benefits to employees in the Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd
under a defined benefit scheme. ONS assessed the RPS - Network Rail Section in accordance with
internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). ONS concluded that (i)
the Railway Pension Scheme was the pension administrator in the private pension fund subsector
(S.12902) and (ii) Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, was the pension manager in the central
asset/liability.
Scottish Canals Scottish Government Central Government 1-Jul-12 Scottish Canals is the public body responsible for the inland waterways of Scotland. In September
2012, ONS classified Scottish Canals to the Central Government subsector. ONS had made this
decision based on it falling within Scottish Government control, and it failing the quantitative market
test as set out in the European System of Accounts 1995 which meant that it was a non-market body.
ONS has reviewed this classification decision in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit
and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). As part of this review, ONS has identified that a large part of Scottish
Canals’ revenue has come from grant-in-aid provided by Scottish Government. ONS has established
that under ESA 2010 rules, such grants do not qualify as sales within the quantitative market test,
resulting in Scottish Canals failing this test. As it is still a non-market body subject to Scottish
Government control, ONS has concluded that Scottish Canals remains classified to the Central
Government subsector, effective from 1 July 2012.
Remploy Ltd. N/A Foreign Controlled private Non-Financial Corporation (S.11003)
7-Apr-15 Remploy Ltd provides employment services to disabled people across the UK. It is a newly
incorporated company that inherited the Employment Services business from the "old" Remploy
company (see DPEC below). The ONS assessed Remploy Ltd in accordance with the European
System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying 2014 Manual on Government Deficit
and Debt (MGDD 2014). It was judged that government no longer has any control over Remploy Ltd,
either through holding shares, being able to appoint directors, control over the board and other
committees, or borrowing through government. Remploy Ltd operates under market conditions by
tendering for government contracts on commercial terms with other producers. Under the new
contract, Remploy Ltd is under control of a foreign unit and is therefore judged to be a foreign
controlled private non-financial corporation (S.11003).
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) Public Financial Auxiliaries (S.12601) 1-Apr-13 The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the financial services industry in the UK. The ONS
revisited the classification of the FCA in accordance with new rules on Central Supervisory Authorities
and Market Regulatory Bodies in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the
accompanying 2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). It was judged that the
FCA continued to satisfy the conditions required to be a Central Supervisory Authority, and therefore
will remain in the Public Financial Auxiliaries subsector (S.12601)
Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) Bank of England (BoE) Public Financial Auxiliaries (S.12601) 1-Apr-13 The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) is responsible for the prudential regulation and supervision
of banks, building societies, credit unions, insurers and major investment firms. The ONS revisited the
classification of the PRA in accordance with new rules on Central Supervisory Authorities and Market
Regulatory Bodies in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying
2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). It was judged that the PRA continued to
satisfy the conditions required to be a Central Supervisory Authority, and therefore will remain in the
Public Financial Auxiliaries subsector (S.12601)
Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route Scottish Government (SG) Central Government (S.1311) 12-Dec-14 The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) is a transport infrastructure project being delivered
(AWPR) asset through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Scottish Government and a consortium of
private sector investors over a 30 year period. The AWPR will comprise 58km of new dual
carriageway which bypasses the city of Aberdeen and connects several surrounding local radial
routes. The ONS assessed the economic ownership of the AWPR asset (i.e. the road) in the context
of rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the accompanying 2014 Manual
on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). Due to the Scottish Government’s share in the
economic rewards associated with the asset, it was judged to have economic ownership of the AWPR
asset. Consequently, the AWPR asset will be recorded on the Central Government balance sheet in
the National Accounts and Public Sector Finances for the duration of the tenure period.
Electricity Settlements Company (ESC) Department of Business, Energy & Central Government (S.1311) 1-Aug-14 The Electricity Settlements Company (ESC) was formed under the Energy Act 2013 and is designed
Industrial Strategy to help facilitate the government’s Capacity Market mechanism. This mechanism seeks to enhance
the security of future electricity supply by ensuring there are sufficient reliable forms of capacity to
meet demand. The ESC is responsible for managing the collection and payment of monies under this
scheme and became operational on 1st August 2014. The Secretary of State (SoS) for Energy and
Climate Change is the sole shareholder in ESC and has the right to veto any board appointments. As
sole shareholder, the SoS also has the right to appoint key personnel, including the Chairperson of
the board. The ONS assessed ESC in the context of rules in the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 2010) and the 2014 Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD). It was judged that the
level of government influence in ESC is sufficient to establish public sector control. The ESC will
therefore be classified to the Central Government sector.
Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) Department of Business, Energy & Central Government (S.1311) 1-Aug-14 As part of the UK’s Electricity Market Reform, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC)
Industrial Strategy will be providing increased revenue certainty to Low-Carbon Generators through the use of a Feed-in
Tariff. This will be delivered by way of a “Contract for Difference”, a mechanism designed to facilitate
investment in low-carbon generation by stabilising long term electricity prices. The Low Carbon
Contracts Company (LCCC) has been established to manage the collection and payment of monies
under this scheme and became operational on 1st August 2014. The Secretary of State (SoS) for
Energy and Climate Change is the sole shareholder in LCCC and has the right to veto any board
appointments. As sole shareholder, the SoS also has the right to appoint key personnel, including
the Chairperson of the board and the Senior Independent Director. The ONS assessed the LCCC in
the context of statistical rules and judged that the SoS’s influence over ESC’s general policy is
sufficient to establish public sector control. The LCCC will therefore be classified to the Central
Government sector.
Financial Reporting Council Department for Business, Innovation anCentral Government (S.1311) 1990 The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is a regulatory body responsible for promoting high quality
corporate governance and reporting in the UK. As well as setting, monitoring and enforcing
accounting and auditing standards, the FRC oversees the regulatory activities of numerous
professional financial bodies. The ONS has previously classified the organisation as Central
Government owing to the board appointment process. However, recent material changes to the
FRC’s corporate governance prompted the re-opening of this case. The ONS assessed whether the
FRC should continue to be classified as Central Government in the context of new guidance in the
2014 Manual on Government and Deficit and Debt (MGDD). It was concluded that as the FRC acts in
the interest of the community as a whole, as well as market operators, it satisfies the criteria ascribed
to Market Regulatory Bodies. It was therefore concluded that the FRC should remain classified as
Central Government, irrespective of the board appointment process.
Lloyds Banking Group Not applicable Public Financial Corporation (S.12301) 2008 In the Office for National Statistics (ONS) National Accounts Classification work plan published in
December 2013, we announced a plan to review Lloyds Banking Group by the end of February 2014,
following the sale of shares by the Government. The current Government share-holding level is
32.7%. The level of share-holding held by Government is an important indicator when assessing
whether a body is in the public sector and a share-holding of this level would be a very borderline
case. Guidance in the System of National Accounts 2008 (SNA 08) (paragraph 4.70) states "a single
shareholder, or small number of shareholders acting together, may be able to secure control over a
corporation, even though they may hold considerably less than half of the total shares. When
ownership is widely diffused among a large number of shareholders, control may be secured by
owning considerably less than half of the total shares". Government now plans to sell further shares
in Lloyds Banking Group (see BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26013427). Given the
currently borderline nature of the case and the likely imminent sale of further shares, the ONS plans
temporarily to put on hold the classification review of Lloyds Banking Group. The ONS plans to
conduct a full review of Lloyds Banking Group after the next batch of shares is sold. In the meantime,
Lloyds Banking Group will remain classified within the public sector.
Film London Ltd N/A NPISH Mar-03 Film London was established in March 2003 as a company limited by guarantee. It is the capital's
public agency for feature film, television, commercials and other interactive content, including games
and is supported by the UK Film Council and the London Development Agency, also receiving
significant support from Arts Council England London, the Mayor of London and Skillset. There seem
to be no indicators of public sector control over the general corporate policy of the body inherent in
either the Articles of Association, or in the grant funding agreement with the Greater London Authority
(GLA), meaning that Film London is in the private sector. As a private, non-market body, Film London
will be classified in the NPISH sector.
Local Healthwatch Organisations (En bloc) N/A NPISH Apr-13 In March 2012, the Health and Social Care Act received Royal Assent and made large changes to the
National Health Service (NHS) in England. Under the Act, a number of bodies, including Local
Healthwatch Organisations, were created. Local Healthwatch Organisations must be a body
corporates and also must be a "social enterprise". ONS has looked into the governance of 4 of these
bodies and found no indication that there are public controls present in their governance documents.
Given what the bodies are set up to do, there is a strong likelihood that these bodies will be majority
grant funded. In the absence of strict controls in the governance documents or funding agreements in
the 4 bodies checked, Local Healthwatch Organisations will be treated as private, non-market bodies,
and classified en bloc to the NPISH sector.
London Higher N/A NPISH Mar-06 London Higher was incorporated in March 2006 and is an ‘umbrella’ body representing over 40
publicly funded universities and higher education colleges in London. The body is a company limited
by guarantee, making it a not-for-profit institution. London Higher is governed by a board of trustees,
the trustees principally reflect the members who are the higher education institutes in London, that
are themselves classified in the private sector as NPISH bodies. Two public sector bodies - the
Greater London Assembly and Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) do have
observer status, but no ability to control the organisation, hence it has been classified as a private
sector body. With regard to funding, London Higher is majority funded by a grant from the Higher
Education Funding Council, making it a non-market body. As a private, non-market body, London
Higher will be classified in the NPISH sector.
MyCSP Ltd N/A PrNFC Jul-12 MyCSP Ltd is a company limited by shares, jointly owned by the Government, a private sector partner
and the employees via an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT). Due to some unusual ownership features,
after the case was discussed by the National Accounts Classification Committee (NACC), ONS
decided to formally consult Eurostat, who agreed with the Office for National Statistic's (ONS's)
provisional decision that the body should be classified as a private non-financial corporation
(Eurostat's letter to the ONS will be published here:
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/government_finance_statistics/methodology/
advice_member_states).
Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd PrNFC Feb-13 In February 2013 Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd became the holding company of the Manchester
Airport Group plc. Control of the holding company is split between Manchester City Council and a
private sector partner, under current ESA 95 rules and ONS guidance on Joint Ventures, Manchester
Airport Holdings Ltd and all companies it controls are classified as private sector bodies, until the
implementation of ESA 10, which contains more detailed guidance on Joint Ventures and their
treatment. Under ESA 10 rules, assuming there are no subsequent changes to the governance
arrangements of the company, or changes to the guidance on Joint Ventures, Manchester Airport
Holdings Ltd will have to be partitioned into a public sector "half" and a private sector "half", reflecting
the shared control over the company. This will be reflected in a subsequent classification decision
and announcement in 2014, prior to the implementation of ESA 10 in September 2014.
London Luton Airport Operations Ltd and PrNFC - S.11002 Aug-98 London Luton Airport Operations Ltd operates London Luton Airport and the body is owned via a
London Luton Airport Operations Group Ltd holding company London Luton Airport Operations Group Ltd. The Group is ultimately owned by two
Spanish bodies Abertis Infraestructuras (90%), and Aena Internacional (10%).
UK 3G Mobile Phone Licences - Treatment Reclassification of revenues from In 2000 the UK Government auctioned licences to use the 3G mobile phone spectrum for the period
of Auction Receipts 2000 sale of 3G mobile phone from 2000 to 2021. ONS decided to treat the proceeds of the sale as D.45 rent, accrued across the
licences from D.45 rent of an asset to life of the license. Following a review, and in line with the international guidance in this area, ONS has
sale of an asset decided to change its treatment to record the sale of an asset in 2000. ONS have published an article

AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) Plc Ministry of Defence Public Non-Financial Central Government Thursday, July 1, 2021 The Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) plc manufactures, maintains and develops the warheads
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) for the Trident missile system, and deploys its unique skills and expertise to support nuclear threat
reduction. ONS has assessed the sector classification status of AWE plc, following termination of the
25-year Management and Operation contract between the Ministry of Defence and AWE
Management Ltd on 30 June 2021. The assessment concluded that AWE plc remains under public
sector control, because termination of the contract resulted in all shares in AWE plc being transferred
to the Secretary of State for Defence. AWE plc therefore became wholly owned by the government on
termination of the contract. The assessment also concluded that, as a government-owned entity
which supplies only the government following a non-competitive selection process, AWE plc is now a
non-market producer. AWE plc has therefore been reclassified from the public non-financial
corporation subsector to the central government subsector (S.1311), with this decision effective from
1 July 2021, when the unit became wholly owned by the public sector.

2021, when the contract between AWE Management Ltd and the Ministry of Defence was terminated,
AWE Management Ltd managed and operated the Ministry of Defence contract through its
subsidiary, AWE plc. The assessment concluded that termination of the contract removed the public
sector controls over AWE Management Ltd. As a result, AWE Management Limited is reclassified
from a Public to a Private Non-Financial Corporation effective from 1 July 2021, following the contract
termination date.
Connected Places Catapult Department for Business, Energy and ICentral Government Non-profit Institutions Wednesday, December 9, 2020 Connected Places Catapult (CPC) is a non-profit company with the aim of connecting businesses and
(S.1311) Serving Households (S.15) public sector leaders to spark innovation, grow new markets and catalyse improvements in the way
people live, work and travel.
ONS has assessed the classification status of CPC and has concluded that public sector control no
longer exists after appointments to CPC's board were considered against the public sector in
perpetuity precedent and other indicators of control were removed. The assessment also concluded
that CPC is a non-market producer as the majority of its income came from non-competitive
government grants.
As such it has been reclassified from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the non-profit
institutions serving households subsector (S.15) with effect from 9 December 2020, the date from

members and provides grants to the centres from the funding received. HVMC is responsible for the
planning, reporting and flow of funds for the projects the HVMC and the seven National Centres are
responsible for.
ONS has assessed the classification status of HVMC and concluded that public sector control no
longer exists because step in rights were significantly reduced and public sector in perpetuity
precedent meant that public sector control no longer existed in the board. The assessment also
concluded that HVMC was a non-market producer as it receives its income from non-competitive
grant funding from central government.

James Hutton Institute Scottish Government Central Government Non-profit Institutions Monday, April 19, 2021 The James Hutton Institute (JHI) is a non-profit company limited by guarantee and a registered
(S.1311) Serving Households (S.15) charity which aims to deliver applied science to drive the sustainable use of land and natural
resources. JHI's principal role is to conduct research in environment, crop and food science.
ONS has assessed the classification status of JHI in response to updates to its Memorandum and
Articles of Association. The assessment concluded that JHI is no longer subject to public sector
control as:
• board appointments no longer show evidence of public sector control when considered
against the public sector in perpetuity precedent
• Scottish Government no longer has the authority to appoint a member to the board and JHI
has self-led a redundancy programme with no influence from the Scottish Government
• the minimum number of board members for meetings to be quorate has risen from four to five.
In conjunction with the above points, this removes the possibility for a public sector voting majority at
meetings
• the majority of JHI’s funding is from non-competitive Scottish Government grants, but this was
not deemed to be sufficient on its own to constitute public sector control.
The assessment also concluded that JHI is a non-market producer as the majority of its income
comes from non-competitive Scottish Government grants.
As such, JHI has been reclassified to the non-profit institutions serving households subsector (S.15)
with effect from 19 April 2021, the date the revised Memorandum and Articles of Association were
published.

Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult Department of Business, Energy and Central Government Private Non-Financial 6-Oct-20 Following changes to its membership, directorship, and contractual relationship with government,
Industrial Strategy (S.1311) Corporation (S.11002) ONS has assessed the classification status of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE). The
assessment concluded that following the changes, public sector control of ORE no longer exists. The
assessment also concluded that ORE is likely to pass the quantitative market test in a short space of
time, and should be considered to be a market body.
Therefore, ORE has been reclassified as a private non-financial corporation (S.11002) with effect
from 6 October 2020, the date the changes to its membership, directorship, and contractual
relationship with government were made.
Registered Housing Associations in Northern Ireland Executive: Public Non-Financial Private Non-Financial 1-Apr-03 Following passage of the Housing (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2020, ONS has assessed the
Northern Ireland Department for Communities Corporation (S.11001) Corporation (S.11002) classification status of Registered Housing Associations in Northern Ireland (RHAs). The assessment
concluded that RHAs are private, market producers and as such they will be reclassified to the private
non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002) for the purpose of national accounts and other
economic statistics. This classification applies from 28 August 2020, the effective date of the
legislation.
Medicines and Healthcare products Department of Health and Social Public Non-Financial Central Government 1-Apr-03 The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the body that acts on behalf of
Regulatory Agency Care Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in making decisions on the approval of marketing
authorisations for medicines and medical devices. ONS has assessed the classification status of
MHRA and has concluded that it is subject to public sector control for reasons including that all board
members are appointed by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
The assessment also concluded that MHRA is a non-market producer as the revenue it receives from
inspections, licensing, medical device assessments, and periodic fees are non-market fees (P.131).
As such, MHRA has been classified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 1
April 2003, the date it came into existence.
Audit Scotland Scottish Government Public Non-Financial Central Government 1-Apr-00 Audit Scotland was established to audit the financial accounts of public bodies in Scotland. ONS last
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) reviewed the classification of Audit Scotland under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995
framework and has now reviewed the classification in the context of the internationally-agreed rules
laid out in ESA 2010. ONS concluded that Audit Scotland is subject to public sector control for
reasons including that all board members are public sector appointees. ONS further concluded that
Audit Scotland is a non-market producer as the majority of its income is in the form of non-market
output. As such, Audit Scotland has been classified to the central government subsector (S.1311)
with effect from 1 April 2000, the date it was established.
Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Department for Transport Public Non-Financial Central Government 1-Apr-14 DVSA was established in 2014 following the merger of the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). ONS has assessed the classification status of DVSA
and has concluded that public sector control of DVSA exists for reasons including that all DVSA
board members are public sector appointees. ONS further concluded that the majority of DVSA’s
income is in the form of non-market output. As such, DVSA has been classified to the central
government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 1 April 2014, the date it was established.
Registers of Scotland Scottish Government Public Non-Financial Central Government 30-Jul-48 Registers of Scotland (RoS) was established in 1948 to register ownership of property and land in
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) Scotland. ONS last reviewed the classification of RoS under the European System of Accounts (ESA)
1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification in the context of the internationally-agreed
rules laid out in ESA 2010. The classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that RoS
was classified as a public corporation (thus producing only market output) while possessing a
Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O (which is for non-market bodies).
ONS concluded that public sector control of RoS exists for reasons including that Scottish Ministers
appoint the Keeper of RoS, who is then responsible for RoS board appointments. ONS further
determined that the majority of RoS's income is in the form of taxes or payments for non-market
output.
Thus, RoS has been reclassified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 30
July 1948, the date the Public Registers and Records (Scotland) Act received Royal Assent and
resulted in the establishment of RoS.
Wales Audit Office Public Non-Financial Central Government 1-Apr-05 Wales Audit Office (WAO) was established by the National Assembly for Wales (NAfW) in 2005 to
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) audit the financial accounts of public bodies in Wales. ONS last reviewed the classification of WAO
under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the
classification in the context of the internationally-agreed rules laid out in ESA 2010. The classification
assessment was initiated after it was identified that WAO was classified as a public corporation (thus
producing only market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O
(which is for non-market bodies).
ONS concluded that public sector control of WAO exists for reasons including that NAfW
recommends the appointment of the Auditor General for Wales, who is also the Chief Executive and
Accounting Officer of WAO. NAfW is further responsible for the appointment of 5 non-executive
members of the WAO Board from which the chair is appointed.
ONS further determined that the majority of its income is in the form of non-market output. Thus,
WAO has been reclassified to the central government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 1 April
2005, the date WAO was established by NAfW.

Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) corporations in the UK. ONS last reviewed the classification of CH under the European System of
Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification under ESA 2010. The
classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that CH was classified as a public
corporation (thus producing only market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification
within NACE O (which is for non-market bodies). ONS concluded that public sector control of CH
exists for reasons including the fact that government appoints the Chair of the board, who is then able
to appoint a majority of board members. ONS further determined that the majority of CH’s income is
in the form of taxes or payments for non-market output. Thus, CH has been reclassified to the Central
Government subsector (S.1311) with effect from 1 November 1844, the date the Joint Stock
Companies Act 1844 received Royal Assent and resulted in the establishment of CH.
Her Majesty's Land Registry BEIS Public Non-Financial Central Government 29-Jul-1862 Her Majesty’s Land Registry (HMLR) was established in 1862 to register ownership of property and
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) land in the UK. ONS last reviewed the classification of HMLR under the European System of
Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification under ESA 2010. The
classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that HMLR was classified as a public
corporation (thus producing only market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification
within NACE O (which is for non-market bodies). ONS concluded that public sector control of HMLR
exists for reasons including the fact that government appoints both the Chief Land Registrar and the
Chair of the HMLR board, who are then responsible for HMLR board appointments. ONS further
determined that the majority of HMLR’s income is in the form of taxes or payments for non-market
output. Thus, HMLR has been reclassified to the Central Government subsector (S.1311) with effect
from 29 July 1862, the date the Land Registry Act 1862 received Royal Assent and resulted in the
establishment of HMLR.
Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) in Scottish Government Public Non-Financial Private Non-Financial 19-Sep-18 Following passage of the Housing (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2018 and The Regulation of Social
Scotland Corporation (S.11001) Corporations (S.11002) Housing (Influence of Local Authorities) (Scotland) Regulations 2018, ONS has completed an
assessment of the Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) in Scotland, which are often described as
housing associations. ONS has concluded that the RSLs in Scotland are private sector market
producers and as such they will be reclassified to the private non-financial corporations (S.11002)
subsector for the purpose of national accounts and other economic statistics. This classification
applies from 19 September 2018, the effective date of the legislation.
Shared Services Connected Limited Cabinet Office Public Non-Financial Foreign-controlled non- 29-Sep-17 ONS has reviewed the classification of Shared Services Connected Limited (SSCL), a joint venture
Corporation (S.11001) financial corporation between the Cabinet Office and Sopra Steria to provide outsourced services to government
(S.11003) departments. Following a change to its Articles of Association and Shareholders' agreement, ONS
has determined that public sector control no longer exists. Therefore as a body that is majority-owned
by Sopra Steria, which is listed on the French stock exchange, SSCL has been reclassified as a
foreign-controlled non-financial corporation (S.11003).
Registered Social Landlords in Wales Welsh Government Public Non-Financial Private Non-Financial 13-Jun-18 Following passage of The Regulation of Registered Social Landlords (Wales) Act 2018, the Office for
Corporation (S.11001) Corporations (S.11002) National Statistics (ONS) has completed an assessment of the housing associations in Wales. The
review has been completed in the context of international rules laid out in the European System of
Accounts 2010 and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016.
ONS has concluded that registered social landlords in Wales are private, market producers and as
such they will be reclassified to the private non-financial corporations (S.11002) sub-sector for the
purpose of national accounts and other economic statistics.
Pension Protection Fund DWP Public Insurance Public Pension Fund 6-Apr-05 The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has undertaken a review of the classification of the Pension
Corporation (S.12801) (S.12901) Protection Fund (PPF) in light of the latest classification guidance from EUROSTAT. PPF was created
by the Pensions Act 2004 to protect the pensions of members of private sector defined benefit
pension schemes that have insufficient assets and an insolvent corporate sponsor.
The body was previously classified to the public insurance corporation sector (S.12801). However,
following the review, ONS has determined that PPF should be reclassified, from its inception, as a
funded pension scheme that is controlled by the public sector (S.12901). This reclassification does
not change the PPF’s status as a public financial corporation.
ONS has further determined that, as the PPF is responsible for any underfunding (net liability) of the
pension funds it manages, it is both a ‘pension manager’ and ‘pension administrator’, as those terms
are defined in ESA 2010.
ONS has also undertaken a review of

the Administration Levy, through which the PPF is funded, and the PPF Levy received directly by the
PPF. Both have been classified as other taxes on production (D.29).

National Exhibition Centre Local Government (S.1313) Private Non-Financial 1-May-15 The ONS has reviewed the classification of the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in accordance with
Corporations (S.11002) the internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and the
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). The NEC, which had
been owned by Birmingham City Council (BCC) had been classified to the local government sector.
On the 1 May 2015, BCC sold NEC to Lloyds Development Capital, a private equity arm of Lloyds
Banking Group. The sale moved the NEC from public ownership to private ownership and following a
review, the ONS concluded that public sector control was removed. The NEC is now classified as a
Private Non-Financial Corporation (S.11002), effective from 1 May 2015.
St. Mary's University College, Belfast Northern Ireland Assembly: Central Government (S.1311)Non-profit institutions 11-Sep-12 St. Mary’s University College, Belfast is a higher education institution mainly providing courses in
Department of Education serving households (S.15) Initial Teacher Education for both the primary and post-primary sectors. In October 2010, ONS
classified St. Mary’s University College, Belfast to Central Government. This decision was based on
the Northern Ireland Executive having controls over the College's borrowing. ONS has reviewed this
classification decision in accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of
(MGDD 2016). The relationship between Northern Ireland Executive and St. Mary’s was defined in
the Scheme of Management and Memorandum of Agreement documents. These had been revised
since the 2010 classification decision. ONS has reviewed these documents and is satisfied that there
is no longer sufficient influence over its borrowing for St. Mary’s University College, Belfast to be
considered to be under public sector control. ONS also considered whether St. Mary’s University
College, Belfast met the quantitative market test as outlined in ESA 2010. ONS identified that the
majority of St. Mary’s income has come from government funding grants. ONS has established that
under ESA 2010, funding grants do not qualify as sales. This results in St. Mary’s University College,
Belfast not meeting the market test and so is a non-market body. As a private, non-market body
serving student, ONS has concluded that St. Mary’s University College, Belfast is classified to the
non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) sector, effective from 11 September 2012.
Scottish Trust Ports Scottish Government Public Non-Financial CorporaNational Private Non- 2-Dec-15 In accordance with internationally agreed rules in the Europeans System of Accounts 2010
Financial Corporations (ESA2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016), ONS
(S.11002) has reviewed the classification of Scottish Trust Ports. Based on provisions contained within the Ports
Act 1991, these were previously classified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001). The
Scottish Government introduced new legislation in 2015 (the Harbours (Scotland) Act) to repeal
sections of the Ports Act 1991 with a view to removing public sector control of Scottish Trust Ports.
Following consideration of this legislation, ONS concluded that the Scottish Trust Ports are no longer
subject to public sector controls. Scottish Trust Ports are now classified as private non-financial
corporations, with this decision effective from 2 December 2015.

(S.11002) accordance with internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010)
and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). It was judged that
all RHAs should be considered as institutional units as they have the ability to incur liabilities and hold
assets on their own accounts, enter into contracts, and exhibit sufficient decision making autonomy.
ONS also concluded that RHAs are subject to public sector control due to, amongst other things;
Northern Ireland Executive consent powers over the disposal of land, and Northern Ireland Executive
powers over the management of an RHA. Consistent with conditions described in ESA 2010, RHAs
were also judged to be market producers. Based on these conclusions, RHAs in Northern Ireland will
be reclassified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001) from 15 July 1992.
Registered Social Landlords in Scotland Scottish Government National Private Non- Public Non-Financial 18th July 2001 Registered Social Landlords (RSL) are units which provide social housing. ONS assessed the

(S.11002) System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt
2016 (MGDD 2016). It was judged that all RSLs should be considered as institutional units as they
have the ability to incur liabilities and hold assets on their own accounts, enter into contracts, and
exhibit sufficient decision making autonomy. ONS also concluded that RSLs are subject to public
sector control due to, amongst other things; Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) powers over the
management of an RSL, SHR powers over constitutional changes of an RSL, and SHR powers of
consent in relation to the disposal of land and housing assets. Consistent with conditions described in
ESA 2010, RSLs were also judged to be market producers. Based on these conclusions, RSLs in
Scotland will be reclassified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001) from 18 July 2001.

(S.11002) System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt
2016 (MGDD 2016). It was judged that all RSLs should be considered as institutional units as they
have the ability to incur liabilities and hold assets on their own accounts, enter into contracts, and
exhibit sufficient decision making autonomy. ONS also concluded that RSLs are subject to public
sector control due to, amongst other things; Welsh Ministers' powers over the management of an
RSL, Welsh Ministers' consent powers over the disposal of land and the disposal of housing assets,
and Welsh Ministers' powers over constitutional changes of an RSL. Consistent with conditions
described in ESA 2010, RSLs were also judged to be market producers. Based on these conclusions,
RSLs in Wales will be reclassified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001) from 24 July 1996.

for the North London line. In February 2014, based on the annual reports available at the time, Rail
for London Ltd did not pass the European System of Accounts 2010 market test and so was classified
to the Local Government subsector. Following a review of its latest sets of accounts, ONS has
determined that Rail for London has demonstrated that it has met the market test over a period of
years and so it has been reclassified from Local Government to a Public Non-Financial Corporation,
with effect from 1 April 2011.

Sport (DCMS) Corporation (S.11002) Investment Funds classified by the ONS in 2005 as a public corporation. At the time ONS did not distinguish between
(S.12401) public financial corporations and public non-financial corporations. Its parent is the British Film
Institute which is classified as a central government unit. ONS formally reviewed the classification of
the body, to see whether under European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying
Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014) it should be classified as a public
financial corporation or a central government body. It was concluded that it was a public financial
corporation with effect from 1985.

(DfT) Corporations (S.11001) Corporations (S.11002) capital in East Coast Main Line (ECML) Company Ltd to Inter City Railways Ltd, a new joint venture
company between Stagecoach Transport Holding Ltd and Virgin Holdings Ltd. Following this sale,
ONS has reviewed the statistical classification of ECML Company Ltd. In accordance with
internationally agreed rules outlined in ESA 2010 and MGDD 2014, ONS concluded that ECML
Company Ltd should be reclassified as a Private Non-Financial Corporation (S.11002); this was due
to the fact that public sector control over ECML Company Ltd is no longer evident and that it
continues to act as a market producer. Entries in the Public Sector Classifications Guide have been
updated to reflect this reclassification, recording ECML Company Ltd as a Former Public Non-
Financial Corporation, effective 1 March 2015.
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Home Office (HO) Public Non-Financial Central Government 1-Dec-12 In July 2014, ONS announced that the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) would be classified as a
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001). This was based on the fact that the fees DBS charges
for disclosure checks are in proportion to the services the organisation produces (rather than raising
revenues to be passed to other areas of government). Following advice from Eurostat, the ONS has
now completed a further analysis of the services DBS produces and has found that checks provided
to government customers plus checks provided to certain customers free of charge (as a result of
government policy) comprise a majority of the output produced by the DBS. Checks provided to
government customers is a proxy for non-market output in the context of ESA 2010 20.27, while
checks provided free of charge are secondary non-market output. As such, a majority of DBS activity
is non-market production and DBS is therefore 'presumed' to be a non-market producer in
accordance with the principles laid out in ESA 2010 20.27. As a result, the DBS is a government-
controlled non-market body and is reclassified in the Central Government sub-sector (S.1311) from its
inception in December 2012.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited Scottish Government (SG) Private Non-Financial Public Non-Financial 22-Nov-13 Consistent with details provided above, and in the context of internationally agreed rules in ESA 2010
Corporation (S.11002) Corporation (S.11001) and MGDD 2014, ONS has reclassified Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited following the Scottish
Government acquisition of the group in late 2013. Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited was judged to
be a market producer as it charges economically significant prices and passes the market test
detailed in ESA 2010 3.33. Further, ONS considered share ownership and board appointments (by
proxy) sufficient to determine that Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited is subject to public sector control
in accordance with criteria listed in ESA 2010 20.309. Consequently, as a public market producer,
Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited will be classified as a public non-financial corporation from 22
November 2013.
"Private registered providers" of social Department for Communities and National Private Non- Public Non-Financial 22-Jul-08 Private registered providers (PRPs) are units which provide social housing and are registered with the
housing (including most housing Local Government (DCLG) Financial Corporations Corporation (S.11001) Homes and Communities Agency. This includes all housing associations registered with the Homes
associations) in England (S.11002) and Communities Agency. ONS assessed the statistical classification of PRPs in accordance with
internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014). It was judged that all
PRPs should be considered as institutional units as they have the ability to incur liabilities and hold
assets on their own accounts, enter into contracts, and exhibit sufficient decision making autonomy.
ONS also concluded that PRPs are subject to public sector control due to, amongst other things; HM
Government consent powers over disposals of social housing assets; HM Government consent
powers over constitutional restructuring of PRPs' constitutional documents; and HM Government
powers over the management of PRPs. Consistent with conditions described in ESA 2010, PRPs
were also judged to be market producers. Based on these conclusions, "private registered providers"
of social housing in England will be reclassified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001) from
22 July 2008. Further details on this classification are available on the “classification announcements
and statements” section of the ONS website
(http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/classifications/na-classifications/classification-

Disabled People’s Employment Corporation Department for Work and Pensions Public Non-Financial Central Government 24-Feb-15 After the incorporation of the new Remploy Ltd, certain assets and liabilities were left behind with the
(UK) Ltd. [previously known as Remploy (DWP) Corporation (S.11001) (S.1311) "old" Remploy company, now known as the Disabled People's Employment Corporation (GB) Ltd
Ltd.] (“DPEC”). It was judged that DPEC remained under government control, in accordance with the
Deficit and Debt (MGDD 2014). This is through the government having control over the appointment
of key personnel and guaranteeing funding to ensure that any net deficit, including pension liabilities,
will be fully funded by the government until DPEC is closed down. DPEC no longer provides market
services, and therefore it is reclassified to the central government subsector (S.1311).

Welsh Further Education Colleges Welsh Government (WG) Central Government (S.1311)Non-Profit Institutions 27-Jan-15 Established under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, Welsh Further Education Colleges
Serving Households (FECs) are designed to promote further education and improve opportunities for learners in Wales.
(S.15002) The ONS has previously recorded Welsh FECs in the Central Government sector following
assessment in 2010 which considered a number of English and Welsh Further Education Institutions
collectively. At that time, it was judged that legislative controls over core aspects of general policy
gave Government sufficient influence over the units’ decision-making autonomy. However, the Welsh
Government has informed the ONS that a number of amendments to sections of the Act, and
subsequent Acts, have since been made. Specifically, these concern the Further and Higher
Education Act 1992, Learning and Skills Act 2000, and Education Act 2002. Amendments include
relaxing controls over permission to borrow, ability of Welsh FECs dissolve themselves and rights to
modify articles of government. These amendments are consistent with changes in England which
entered into force in April 2012 and led to English Further Education Colleges being reclassified to
the Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) sector. Based on these material changes,
the ONS assessed whether Welsh FECs should continue to be classified in the Central Government
sector, pursuant to precedents set by other relevant classification decisions. It was concluded that
Welsh FECs are no longer subject to public sector control and will therefore be reclassified to the
NIPSH sector (S.15).
London and Continental Railways (LCR) Department for Transport (DfT) Central Government Public Non-Financial Sep-13 London and Continental Railways (LCR) is a UK Government-owned company that has specific
(S.1311) Corporation (S.11001) expertise in managing and developing property assets within a railway context, and in particular
property assets associated with major infrastructure projects. LCR acquired additional property
assets from the British Railways Board (Residuary) (BRBR) following its abolition in September 2013.
This provides additional rental income for LCR, which constitutes sales for the purpose of the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) market test. As a result the body has been reclassified
as a market producer. Consequently, LCR has been reclassified as a Public Corporation from
September 2013 - the month in which it acquired the assets from BRBR.

Transport Trading Limited Transport for London (TfL) Public Non-Financial Local Government 2000 Transport Trading Limited is the holding company for all the operating transport companied owned by
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) Transport for London (TfL). Transport Trading Limited has managerial functions akin to those of a
head office and under the latest guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10), these
companies are treated in the same way as their parent company. As Transport for London is listed
on the Public Sector Classification Guide (PSCG) as a Local Government body, Transport Trading
Limited will be allocated to the same sector - effective from the date of its incorporation in January
2000.
LUL Nominee SSL Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government May-08 LUL Nominee SSL Limited's principal activities include maintenance and renewal of the infrastructure
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) and rolling stock for the Metropolitan, District, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines. Based on the
guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10), the unit is typical of that of a Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV). SPV's are classified in the same sector as their parent company - which, in
this case, would be Transport for London Limited. As Transport for London Limited is classified as a
Local Government body, LUL Nominee SSL will also be classified within the Local Government sector
from May 2008.
LUL Nominee BCV Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government May-08 LUL Nominee BCV is similar in structure to LUL Nominee SSL and is overseen by the same board of
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) directors, but is responsible for different routes of the London Underground network. As with LUL
Nominee SSL, LUL Nominee BCV has attributes of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and, under the
latest guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10), should be classified in the same
sector as its parent - Transport for London Ltd. As Transport for London Ltd is classified to the Local
Government sector, LUL Nominee will be classified as a Local Government body from May 2008.
London Buses Limited (Dial-a-Ride) Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government 2000 London Buses Ltd (also known as Dial a Ride) provides public transport services for people with
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) disabilities who are unable to access mainstream public transport. The service is free of charge to
users and paid for fully by Transport for London (TfL) - the ultimate parent company. Since the
company has government as its sole customer, under guidance in the European System of Accounts
2010 (ESA 10), the body is a non-market producer. As a public, non-market body, London Buses
Limited will be classified as a Local Government body from 2000.
Tube Lines (Holdings) Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government 2010 Tube Lines (Holdings) Ltd is the holding company for Tube Lines Limited (TLL), Tubes Lines Finance
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) Plc and Tube Lines Pension Scheme Trustees Ltd - a subsidiary of TLL. The company is wholly
owned by Transport Trading Limited (TTL) which is itself controlled by Transport for London (TfL).
The holding company has 4 directors who are all TfL appointees, and no employees - with employee
services provided by other subsidiaries in the group. Under the European System of Accounts 2010
(ESA 10) this type of unit, which exists solely to hold shares and has no independence should be
classified to the sector of its controlling unit. As Transport for London (TfL) is classified as a Local
Government body, Tube Lines (Holding) Limited will be reclassified from a Public Corporation to a
Local Government body from 2010.
Tube Lines Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government 2010 Tube Lines Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport Trading Limited (TTL), which in turn is
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) controlled by Transport for London (TfL) - which appoints all of the directors in Tube Lines Limited.
The body is responsible for the maintenance, enhancement and renewal of the infrastructure of the
Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines of the London Underground on behalf of TfL. The body has one
customer - Tfl and as such, in line with guidance in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10)
will be treated as a non-market producer. As a public, non-market body, Tube Lines Limited is
reclassified from a Public Non-Financial Corporation to a Local Government body from 2010.
Tube Lines (Finance) Plc Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government Jun-10 Tubes Lines (Finance) Plc is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tube Lines (Holdings) Limited, which was
Corporation (S.11001) (S.1313) established to secure financing to fund the performance of Tube Lines Limited under a Public Private
Partnership (PPP) contract with London Underground Limited (LUL). The body's parent company -
Tube Lines (Holdings) Limited - was acquired by Transport for London (TfL) in June 2010 through its
subsidiary, Transport Trading Limited (TTL). Tube Lines Finance Ltd meets the definition of a Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV). It is therefore classified to the same sector as its ultimate parent company -
TfL, a Local Government body, from June 2010.
Rail for London Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Local Government Date-to add Rail for London Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport Trading Limited, which is itself a
Corporation (S.1313) wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL). Rail for London Limited carries out the
infrastructure upgrade for the North London line. The body does not pass the stricter European
System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) market test and therefore, as a public, non-market producer, Rail
for London is reclassified from a Public Non-Financial Corporation to Local Government.
London Transport Museum Limited Transport Trading Limited Public Non-Financial Former Public Corporation 2000 London Museum Limited (LML) is a registered charity limited by shares. Although charities are
Corporation (S.11001) generally limited by guarantee, LML is exempted by the Transport for London (Specified Activities)
Order 2000. The board comprises up to 13 Trustees, 3 of whom are nominated by TfL. The board has
established an independent Nominees Committee to offer advice and make recommendations
regarding the appointment of the remaining 10 independent Trustees. LML is funded by donations -
some of which are from TfL, but there are no conditions on how LML should use these donations. As
a private, non-market unit, London Museum Limited will be reclassified from the Public Corporation to
the Non-Profit Institution Serving Households (NPISH) sector.
University for Industry (UFI) Ltd (renamed CG PrNFC Nov-12 The Government created University for Industry (UFI) in 1998, which was given a remit to use new

Ireland. The company (company number 03980770) changed its name to Learndirect Ltd in April
2012. The company has been through a number of governance and ownership changes, and is no
longer controlled by the public sector. Consequently, UFI Ltd (renamed as Learndirect Ltd), will be
reclassified on the Public Sector Classification Guide as a Former Central Government body, and
specifically a private non-financial corporation.
Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd - Manchester Airport Group plc PC PrNFC Feb-13 On 28th February 2013, Manchester Airport Holdings Ltd became the holding company of the

Bolton at Home Ltd Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council PC PrNFC Mar-11 Bolton at Home Ltd was an Arms Length Management Organisations (ALMO) that was responsible
for the management of Council homes belonging to Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council. In March
2011, following a ballot of tenants, ownership of the homes was formally transferred to the company
and the Council's control over the company was removed, converting it into a stand alone Housing
Association. (This process is called Large Scale Voluntary Transfer or LSVT - see
http://www.homesandcommunities.co.uk/ourwork/existing-stock for more information). Bolton at
Home Ltd has therefore been reclassified from a public non-financial corporation to a private non-
financial corporation from March 2011, and will be reclassified on the Public Sector Classification
Guide as a Former Public Corporation.
First Choice Homes Oldham Oldham Metropolitan Borough PC PrNFC Feb-11 First Choice Homes Oldham was an ALMO that was responsible for the management of Council
Council homes belonging to Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council. In February 2011, following a ballot of

Classification Guide as a Former Public Corporation.
Golden Gates Housing Trust Warrington Borough Council PC PrNFC Nov-11 Golden Gates Housing Trust was an ALMO that was responsible for the management of Council
homes belonging to Warrington Borough Council. In November 2011, following a ballot of tenants,
ownership of the homes was formally transferred to the company and the Council's control over the

corporation from November 2011, and will be reclassified on the Public Sector Classification Guide as
a Former Public Corporation.
Rochdale Boroughwide Homes Rochdale Metropolitan Borough PC PrNFC Mar-12 Rochdale Boroughwide Homes was an ALMO that was responsible for the management of Council
Council homes belonging to Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council. In March 2012, following a ballot of
tenants, ownership of the homes was formally transferred to the company and the Council's control
over the company was removed, converting it into a stand alone Housing Association. Rochdale
Boroughwide Homes has therefore been reclassified from a public non-financial corporation to a
private non-financial corporation from March 2012, and will be reclassified on the Public Sector
Classification Guide as a Former Public Corporation.
South Lakes Housing South Lakeland District Council PC PrNFC Mar-12 South Lakes Housing was an ALMO that was responsible for the management of Council homes
belonging to South Lakeland District Council. In March 2012, following a ballot of tenants, ownership
of the homes was formally transferred to the company and the Council's control over the company

St. James's Place plc N/A Public FC Private FC May-13 St. James's Place plc is a wealth management and financial planning business. Although not
explicitly listed in the Public Sector Classification Guide, the company was 60% owned by Lloyds
Banking Group (LBG), and therefore regarded as a public sector financial corporation from the end of
2008. In March and May 2013, LBG sold parts of its shareholding, and at the end of May its
shareholding had reduced to just 21% of the company. Consequently the company and its
subsidiaries are reclassified outside the public sector as private financial corporations.
ABF The Soldiers Charity Previously MoD CG NPISH Mar-13 ABF the Soldiers Charity is a registered charity, previously known as the Army Benevolent Fund that
was historically controlled by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), who appointed all of the Trustees of the
Charity. Over the past several years the charity has been moving away from the MoD, and this
process has culminated in the last 12 months in the adoption of a new set of Articles of Association
which have removed any remaining MoD controls over the charity, and the appointment of new
Directors such that the ABF is no longer considered by ONS to be under public sector control. It is
therefore reclassified to the Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) sector, from March
2013.
Chester Race Company Ltd LG PNFC May-12 The Chester Race Company Ltd is a horseracing, catering and hotel business which runs Chester
and Bangor-on-Dee racecourses and associated facilities. Previously listed in the Guide as a Local
Government body, its accounts indicate it is a market body, and has been for a number of years.
They indicate some public sector involvement with the company (the local authority, Cheshire West
and Chester Council are able to appoint a number of board members) but the company is not under
public sector control, and its shareholders are all private individuals. Consequently it is reclassified as
a private non-financial corporation, from May 2012 when its most recent articles of association were
adopted.
ITSO Ltd Previously DfT PC PNFC Jan-13 ITSO Ltd is a company limited by guarantee, with a mix of public and private sector members,
established to develop inter-operable smart cards for members of the public to pay for public
transport. From June 2009 until the end of December 2012, the Department of Transport had three
directors on ITSO Ltd's board, whose votes were weighted more than other members. These
directors, combined with other public sector representatives gave the public sector control of the
company. The number of DfT directors reduced to one, and weighted voting was removed, meaning
that board membership is now more evenly split between the public and private sector
representatives, but the votes of the ITSO members at company annual general meetings is weighted
in favour of the private sector. Consequently the company has been reclassified as a private non-
financial corporation, from January 2013.
ITSO Services Ltd Previously DfT PC PNFC Jan-13 ITSO Services Ltd is a subsidiary company of ITSO Ltd, and was classified within the public sector at
the same time as its parent. With the reclassification of ITSO Ltd, it is also reclassified.
Hannah Research Institute SG CG - S.1311 NPISH Apr-06 A scientific research institute, until 2003 this body was controlled, via the appointment of a majority of
its governing Council, by the public sector. These controls were removed in 2003, however the body
continued to be substantially funded by the Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs
Department (SEERAD) until March 2006, when the funding was withdrawn. It is now a non-market
body outside the public sector and so reclassified from the government sector to the NPISH sector
but remains recorded in the Public Sector Classification Guide as a Former Central Government
body.
National Non Food Crop Centre Formerly DECC CG NPISH Oct-12 The National Non-Food Crop Centre (NNFCC) was set up in 2003 as a "not for profit" institution, a
company limited by guarantee. It was classified as a Central Government body due to Government
powers in NNFCC's Articles of Association
These governance documents were changed in October 2012, and consequently public sector control
over the company has been removed (it remains a non-market entity).
It is consequently reclassified as a Not-For-Profit Institution Serving Households (NPISH) from the
date at which the latest Articles of Association were adopted, 31 October 2012. It will be reclassified
as a Former Central Government body on the Public Sector Classification Guide
British Waterways Board - Trading as SG PC CG Jul-12 In July 2012 the English and Welsh activities of the British Waterways Board (BWB) were transferred
Scottish Canals to a new charitable body, the Canal and Rivers Trust. The remainder of the British Waterways
Board's activities in Scotland have historically been, and are expected to continue to be,
predominantly grant funded by the Scottish Government, who now have sole responsibility for the
body. This means that BWB, trading as Scottish Canals, is reclassified as a Central Government
body, from July 2012, and is now sponsored by the Scottish Executive.
Rail for London Ltd Transport for London LG PC Apr-11 Rail for London Ltd built and operates (via a contract with London Overground Rail Operations Ltd)
the London Overground rail network. It is a subsidiary of Transport Trading Ltd, which is itself a
subsidiary of Transport for London Ltd. It was classified as a Local Government body, as it did not
generate enough income from sales to pass the market test, by which the ONS distinguishes
between public sector bodies classified as part of General Government, and public sector bodies
classified as Public Non-Financial Corporations (see ESA 95 paragraphs 3.32-3.33 here
http://circa.europa.eu/irc/dsis/nfaccount/info/data/esa95/en/een00126.htm). Rail for London's latest
accounts show that it now passes the market test, as passenger numbers have risen sharply as
improvements to the line and services have been completed, and it is expected to continue to do so
into the future such that it is reclassified as a Public Non-Financial Corporation from 1 April 2011.
UFI Charitable Trust CG NPISH Mar-12 Body that aims to promote learning and employability through the use of technology. Previously a
government body controlled by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, changes to
the governance arrangements in March 2012 have removed government control and therefore
resulted in the body being reclassified into the private sector.
Airport Management Services Ltd Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd PC CG May-09 A wholly owned subsidiary of Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd, Airport Management Services Ltd
provides ancillary services to the group of companies, who are its only customer. ONS has concluded
that the prices charged are not economically significant prices, and therefore it should not be
considered a market body, but classified in the same way as its parent, as a Central Government
body.
Air Travel Trust DfT PC CG Apr-08 The Air Travel Trust Fund is a dedicated, public sector controlled fund, (controlled by the Civil
Aviation Authority) which compensates package holidaymakers and assists with repatriation costs in
the event of their tour operator going bust. It is primarily funded by compulsory payments by firms with
an ATOL (Air Travel Operators Licence - a legal requirement for any firm in the UK wishing to sell
package holidays that include a flight). called ATOL Protection Contributions, which are levied at flat
a rate of £2.50 per booked passenger. ONS has concluded that these payments are taxes, not sales,
under ESA 95, resulting in the Air Travel Trust being reclassified to the Central Government sector,
from April 2008, when the ATOL Protection Contributions were introduced.
Further Education Corporations in England CG NPISH Apr-12 In October 2010, ONS announced the reclassification of Sixth Form and Further Education Colleges
across the UK as part of General Government, with Further Education Corporations (FECs) in
England and Wales classified to Central Government and Sixth Form College Corporations (SFCCs -
which only existed in England) classified to Local Government. The decision applied retrospectively
Sixth Form College Corporations (England) LG NPISH Apr-12 back to the early 1990s and more information about this decision can be found here
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/classifications/na-classifications/classification-articles/
class/classification-of-sixth-form-and-further-education-institutions---october-2010.pdf The Education
Act 2011 was passed in November 2011, and amended the legislation applying to FECs in England
and SFCCs sufficiently to remove the public sector controls, and therefore these non-market bodies
are reclassified, from April 2012, as Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH). A further
article will be published alongside the May 2012 classification update explaining the reason for the
reclassification. FECs in Wales, as well as the similar bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland
remain classified as Central Government bodies.
CTRL Section 1 Finance plc DfT PC CG Jun-09 Both CTRL Section 1 Finance plc and LCR Finance plc were previously subsidiary companies of
London and Continental Railways, both companies were financing vehicles for LCR. In June 2009 the
share capital in both companies was acquired by the Department for Transport, which has assumed
the liabilities of both companies, so these two companies are now subsidiary companies of the
Department of Transport, and reclassified as Central Government bodies as neither qualify as public
financial or public non-financial corporations.
LCR Finance plc DfT PC CG Jun-09
British Hallmarking Council NMO PC CG-S.1311 1974 Previously classified as a public corporation the British Hallmarking Council has always received a
majority of non-market funding and is therefore reclassified as a central government body as of its
creation.
Northern Rock plc FS (public) FS (Private) Jan-12 Northern Rock plc, previously classified as a public sector Other Monetary Financial Intermediary in
the Financial Corporations sector, was sold to Virgin Money Holdings (UK) Ltd, on 1 January 2012.
More information about the sale can be found on the UK Financial Investments Ltd website at
http://www.ukfi.co.uk/releases/20120101%20UKFI%20completion%20announcement.pdf
STFC Innovations Ltd / CLIK (Central Science and Technology Facilities PC CG-S.1311 Jan-02 STFC Innovations Ltd (known, prior to a name change, as "CLIK (Central Laboratory Innovation and
Laboratory Innovation and Knowledge Council (STFC) Knowledge Transfer Co.Ltd)") was classified on the guide as a public non-financial corporation.
Transfer Co.Ltd) Following a review and after obtaining additional information on its income streams, it has been
reclassified as a non-market body from its incorporation in January 2002 (so the entry for CLIK

Tote Bookmakers Ltd DCMS PC PrNFC Jul-11 These three companies were the UK subsidiaries of the Horserace Totaliser Board (the Tote). Under
The Horserace Betting and Olympic Lottery Act 2004, the Horserace Totaliser Board ceased to exist
Tote Credit Ltd DCMS PC PrNFC Jul-11
on 13th July 2011, and its subsidiary companies transferred to a successor company "Tote

General Lighthouse Fund DfT PC CG 1946 The General Lighthouse Fund was created by statute in 1898 to provide funding for the British Isle's
three General Lighthouse Authorities. Its is mainly funded by Light Dues, which ONS have reviewed
and reclassified as D.29 taxes, not sales of services. This means the General Lighthouse Fund
becomes a non-market body, and is consequently reclassified as a non-market body, in the Central
Government sector, from the introduction of the National Accounts in 1946.
General Lighthouse Authorities (En Bloc) DfT PC CG 1946 The three General Lighthouse Authorities themselves have also been treated as public non-financial
corporations, but with the reclassification of the Fund, and Light Dues, also become non-market
Northern Lighthouse Board DfT PC CG 1946 bodies and are reclassified as Central Government bodies as well.
Trinity House Lighthouse Services DfT PC CG 1946
Office of Communication (Ofcom) DCMS PC CG 2002 ONS originally classified Ofcom as a public non-financial corporation in 2002, when the body was set
up. Following a review, ONS has concluded that Ofcom was wrongly classified. The majority of
Ofcom's funding comes in the form of Grant-in-Aid from DCMS. As grant-in-aid is not considered
"sales" under ESA 95, Ofcom is and always has been a non-market body, and is consequently
reclassified as a Central Government unit from its creation.
Schools Food Trust CG NPISH Sep-11 Formerly an Executive NDPB sponsored by the Department for Education, the Schools Food Trust
(see www.schoolfoodtrust.org.uk) has made changes to its governance arrangements that result in it
no longer being classified within the public sector, however it remains a largely grant funded, non-
market body resulting in its reclassification to the Non-Profit Institution Serving Households (NPISH)
sector.
Magistrates Courts MoJ LG CG Apr-05 Historically, Magistrates Courts were administered locally, by Magistrates Courts Committees. All
Magistrates Courts were transferred from local control to the then Department of Constitutional Affairs
(subsequently replaced by the Ministry of Justice) under the Courts Act 2003, coming into force on 1
April 2005. They are administered by HM Courts and Tribunals Service.
Plymouth Marine Laboratory CG NPISH Apr-10 Plymouth Marine Laboratory (see www.pml.ac.uk) was formerly part of the Natural Environment
Research Council (NERC - classified as a Central Government body) but was split out and turned into
a stand alone company limited by guarantee with charitable status in 2002. Over time initial public
sector involvement in PML has fallen away, although it is still largely government grant funded, and it
is therefore reclassified to the NPISH sector from April 2010.
PML Applications Ltd Plymouth Marine Laboratory PC PrNFC Apr-10 A wholly owned subsidiary of Plymouth Marine Laboratory, PML Applications Ltd (see www.pml-
applications.co.uk is a market body that under takes undertakes commercial operations for PML.

Commission North/South Implementation Bodies it is reclassified from the Rest of the World to the central
government sector as of its creation in December 1999. The body includes the Loughs Agency which
is also classified to the central government sector. An article explaining this decision can be read at

The Design Council (incorporating CABE) CG NPISH Apr-11 Following change to the governance arrangements in April 2011 that removed public sector control
over the general corporate policy the Design Council is reclassified as a private, non-market body to
the NPISH sector. In April 2011 the Design Council also assumed the responsibilities of the
Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment - which was abolished.
Low Level Waste Repository (LLWR) Ltd BEIS PC CG Apr-08 LLWR Ltd is controlled by the NDA through clauses in the Parent Body Agreement, and remains
classified in the public sector. It is not funded by sales and is therefore a non-market body justifying a
reclassification to the central government sector. This change was previously announced in the
monthly update for January 2011 but not implemented on the SCG.

Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd Foreign controlled non-financial corporation (S.11003) Saturday, February 6, 2021 In November 2021, ONS assessed the classification status of Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd (AIW),
originally named Amey Keolis Infrastructure Ltd. AIW is the Infrastructure Manager for the Core
Valleys Lines.
The assessment concluded that the company was not under public sector control during the
Emergency Measures Agreement (EMA) with the Welsh Government, under which financial support
was provided to ensure the continuity of rail services on the Wales and Borders network. The
assessment also concluded that the company was not under public sector control after the ODP
Grant Agreement was terminated, at which point AIW held a direct contractual relationship with
Transport for Wales.
The assessment concluded Amey Infrastructure Wales Ltd is a market producer and as such
classified to the private non-financial corporation subsector (S.11002) with effect from 6 February
2021, the date on which the members of the company passed a resolution to change its name.
Update 31 March 2022: Following this decision, it has been established that AIW is a subsidiary of
the Spanish infrastructure services company, Ferrovial. It is therefore reclassified to the foreign
controlled non-financial corporation subsector (S.11003), with the effective date of 6 February 2021
unchanged.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme Public Financial Auxiliary (S.12601) 1-Dec-01 Financial Services Compensation Scheme Ltd (FSCS) is the manager of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the statutory fund of last resort
for customers of authorised financial services firms.
Ltd
ONS has assessed the classification status of FSCS and has concluded that it is subject to public sector control for reasons that include that all of FSCS’s
directors are public sector appointments.
The assessment also concluded that,
• FSCS works within a general framework set by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) while taking
decisions on the activation of compensation through their own assessments independently from, and with no requirement for their decisions to be ratified
by the PRA, FCA, Bank of England, or Her Majesty’s Government (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 5 & 22).
• FSCS’s remit includes a wide range of areas where compensation can be paid following detailed analysis of complex matters such as the mis-
selling of financial investments, life insurance and general insurance, pensions, and mortgages.
• Decisions in such areas require both an independent judgement on whether to intervene (so financial compensation is paid) and an independent
judgement on the level of intervention (by determining the level of financial compensation) (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 8).
• FSCS has an autonomous budget that is fed by its own resources and is able to determine the global size of the budget, a characteristic that is not
generally associated with protection funds (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 5 & 23).
• FSCS is freely able to take decisions to ensure it has sufficient resources. It can choose how to do this in ways that include borrowing on financial
markets, or charging exceptional supplementary levies on the financial services industry. In doing so it takes independent decisions on the nature,
amount, conditions and timing of the funding (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 24).
• FSCS’s services enhance the confidence of customers through the protection they provide to consumers (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 6).
• FSCS’s services enhance the confidence of shareholders, improve the quality of management, and facilitate the profitability and development of
financial institutions by alerting relevant bodies when directors and advisers responsible for mis-selling attempt to continue to practice, and by sharing
with the financial industry their analysis on emerging issues in financial services, the reasons behind failures of corporations in the past, and intelligence
about individuals who may have responsibility for the past failures (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 6).
The assessment therefore concluded that for the purposes of statistical classification FSCS is a supervisory authority, and as such while FSCS was listed
on the public sector classification guide as a central government body, it has been classified to the public financial auxiliaries subsector (S.12601) with
effect from 1 December 2001, the date FSCS began operating.
As the assessment was commenced following an update to the statistical guidance, it’s possible that ONS will engage further with international statistical
organisations on the classification to strengthen the comparability of the UK’s statistics.
Moredun Research Institute Scottish Government Non-profit institutions serving households (S.15) 1-Jan-94 Moredun Research Institute (MRI) is a body that conducts scientific research relating to farm livestock
diseases that are of public concern.
ONS has assessed the classification status of MRI and has concluded that it is not subject to public
sector control. The assessment also concluded that MRI is a non-market producer as it receives most
of its revenue from non-competitive grant funding from the Scottish Government, meaning it doesn’t
pass the market test.
The assessment further concluded that MRI is a non-profit body as its articles of association specify
that its income and profits cannot be transferred to its members.
As such, while MRI was listed on the public sector classification guide as a central government body,
it has now been classified to the NPISH sector (S.15) with effect from 1 January 1994, the date it was
incorporated.
Nuclear Liabilities Fund Limited Department of Business, Energy and Central Government subsector (S.1311), listed under the Please note: The change of name from Nuclear Liabilities Fund Trust Company to Nuclear Liabilities
Industrial Strategy heading CG Funds, Accounts, Courts and Posts Fund Limited and the inclusion of unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates.
Gangmasters Licensing Authority Home Office Central Government (S.1311) 1-Apr-05 The Gangmasters Licensing Authority was established on 1 April 2005 as a non-departmental public
body to regulate the supply of workers to the agricultural, horticultural and shellfish industries. ONS
has been advised by the Gangmasters Licensing Authority that its sponsoring body was changed on
9 April 2014 from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to the Home Office.
The Public Sector Classification Guide has been updated to reflect this change.
Government Legal Department Central Government (S.1311) 27th Jun 1876 On 1 April 2015 the Treasury Solicitor's Department was renamed Government Legal Department.
The Public Sector Classification Guide has been updated to reflect this name change. This
department is a non-ministerial government department which employs around 600 solicitors and
barristers to provide advice and legal representation to government departments. The Treasury
Solicitor reports to the Attorney General for England and Wales. This was identified as part of a
quality review of bodies identified on the guide.
'Private registered providers' of social Department for Communities and Public Non-Financial Corporations (S.11001) 24th July 1996 Following further review of the relevant legislation around English Private Registered Providers (PRP)
housing (including most housing Local Government (DCLG) of social housing, PRPs in England remain classified as public non-financial corporations (S.11001)
associations) in England though this classification now dates from 24 July 1996.
Historic Environment Scotland Scottish Government Central Government (S.1311) 1-Oct-15 ONS has been advised by the Scottish Government that Historic Environment Scotland became
active on 1 October 2015 and not 1 April 2015 as was previously listed. Its entry has been updated to
reflect this in the Public Sector Classification Guide.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Department of Health (DH) Central Government (S.1311) 1-Aug-12 ONS has been advised by HM Treasury that the sponsoring body for The Nursing and Midwifery
Council should be recorded as the Department of Health. The Public Sector Classifications Guide

Government on 17 December 2014. The Public Sector Classifications Guide has been updated to
reflect this, effective from 12 May 1999, when it was established.
'Private registered providers' of social Department for Communities and Public Non-Financial Corporations (S.11001) 22-Jul-08 Following the October 2015 announcement of the reclassification of 'private registered providers' of
housing (including most housing Local Government (DCLG) social housing (including most housing associations) in England, the names of all these registered
associations) in England providers were added to the Public Non-Financial Corporations page. As part of this update, local
authorities who directly provide social housing were included. However, as these are ancillary
activities of local authorities, the classification of local authorities providing social housing as public
corporations is inconsistent with the European System of Accounts 2010 rules. These local
authorities have now been removed from the Public Non-Financial Corporations page.
Health and Care Professions Council Department for Health (DH) Central Government (S.1311) 1-Aug-12 ONS has been advised by HM Treasury that the sponsoring body for the Health and Care
Professionals Council should be recorded as the Department for Health. The Public Sector

reflect this.

been updated to account for historic legislation. Included is the Crofters Commission, which
underwent a name change in 2012 to become the Crofting Commission. This entry has now been
updated to reflect the name change.
Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Department for Work and Pensions ( Public Non-Financial Corporation (S.11001) Mar-14 In the February 2015 Public Sector Classification Guide, the ONS recorded the “sponsoring body” of
the Office for Nuclear Regulation’s (ONR) as the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
However, ONR have since advised ONS that the sponsoring body for the ONR is, in fact, the
Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This correction is reflected in the latest Public Sector
Classification Guide.

(CAA International Ltd) Government body from November 2000. This was an erroneous announcement - the classification

Holdings Plc in September 2013. The body is wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Business,
Innovation and Skills and exists to hold and manage the UK Government's shares in Royal Mail Plc
and Post Office Limited. The body was classified on the Public Sector Classification Guide (PSCG) as
a Central Government body, but the information section has been amended to reflect that it was a
public corporation between March 2001 and March 2012. This is because the board had managerial
control over the Royal Mail Group between these dates and should have been classified alongside its
subsidiaries as a Public Non-Financial Corporation.
Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Scottish Government Central Government - S.1311 Nov-13 The Scottish Government informed the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that the name on the

Holding Company Plc, which is itself wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation
and Skills. As Post Office Ltd is a public sector controlled, market body it will be classified as a Public
Corporation.
Food Standards Agency N/A CG - S.1311 The Food Standards Agency will be amended to show that it incorporates the Northern Ireland,
Wales, Scotland and Westminster bodies - which are not strictly institutional units in their own right
and not classified separately on the Public Sector Classification Guide (PSCG).

Excellence. The notes to the guide will be amended to reflect this.
Police Forces (England and Wales) En bloc LG - S.1313 Apr-13 The Guide already includes an en bloc entry for police forces (en bloc), as Local Government bodies.
With the abolition of local police forces in Scotland and their replacement with the Police Service of
Scotland, and the existence of a single police force for Northern Ireland as well, both of which are
classified as Central Government bodies, the entry in the guide is amended to be clear that this en
bloc entry only applies to England and Wales.
Common Services Agency of the Scottish SG CG - S.1311 The NHS National Services Scotland Board is the common name for the Common Services Agency
Health Service (NHS National Services (CSA). This is already listed in the PSCG as the 'Common Services Agency of the Scottish Health

clearer.

interim, the name of the sponsoring department has been deleted. It remains classified as part of
Central Government.

Professions Council in August 2012 following the passage of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

Centres the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The Public Sector Classification Guide

separate institutional units and so have been removed from the guide.
UK Trade and Investment BIS / FCO CG - S.1311 UK Trade and Investment describes itself as a joint non-ministerial Government Department of the
Departments for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office
(FCO). Consequently the notes to this entry are amended to show it as a body jointly sponsored by

name.

Bio Products Laboratory Ltd DH PC - S.11001 Jan-11 Although already listed in the Public Sector Classification Guide index, and identified as a Public
Corporation, until January 2011 Bio Products Laboratory was a division of NHS Blood and Transplant
(NHSBT), rather than a separate institutional unit. Bio Products Laboratory Ltd was only incorporated
in August 2010, and only began trading in January 2011, when it was spun out of NHSBT as a
separate stand alone company. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Plasma Resources UK Limited
(PRUK) that, in turn, is 100% owned and managed by the Department of Health, and a market body.
Fire Service College DCLG PC - S.11001 Apr-92 Previously listed on the Public Sector Classification Guide as a public corporation sponsored by the
Home Office the body is actually sponsored by the Department for Communities and Local
Government. The entry on the Guide has been updated to state the correct sponsoring department.
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Defra CG - S1.311 1997 CEFAS carries out research in marine science. The body has always been sponsored and majority
Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) financed by Defra as such it should always have been classified as a central government body from
its inception in 1997.
Medical Supplies Agency MoD Former CG Mar-05 The PSCG previously contained an entry for a body called the Medical Supply Agency, which was
identified as a body sponsored by the Department of Health (DoH). After investigating, we have
concluded that this entry actually referred to an agency of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) called the
Medical Supplies Agency, which had been created in 1996, but was abolished in March 2005 when
its functions were absorbed back into the MoD.
Northern Ireland Office Sponsored Bodies NIA: DoJ CG - S1.311 Apr-10 A number of bodies classified to Central Government were previously shown as sponsored by the
Northern Ireland Office (NIO). With the devolution of policing and law and order matters to Northern
Ireland, to the Northern Ireland Assembly Department of Justice (NIA:DoJ), the entries in the guide for
the following bodies are amended to show the NIA: DoJ as the sponsoring department: The Northern
Ireland Prison Service; The Compensation Agency (CA); The Forensic Science Agency (FSNI);
Northern Ireland Police Fund; Northern Ireland Policing Board; Police Ombudsman for Northern
Ireland (Independent Commission for Police Complaints for Northern Ireland); the Police Service of
Northern Ireland; the Probation Board for Northern Ireland; and the Royal Ulster Constabulary
George Cross Foundation. Several other bodies, including the Parades Commission and Northern
Ireland Human Rights Commission remain sponsored by the Northern Ireland Office.
Equality and Human Rights Commission HO CG-1.311 Included in the guide already as a body sponsored by the Government Equalities Office (GEQ), with
the closure of that department, the EHRC has transferred to become a body sponsored by the Home
Office.
General Teaching Council for Wales WAG CG-1.311 The General Teaching Council for Wales was reclassified as a Central Government body in July
2010, back to its creation in 2000 (the similar bodies in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are
also classified in the same way) but though it was correctly shown in the Central Government tab of

Other classifications
State Government Subsector (S.1312) N/A The UK does not currently have a State Government N/A Following changes to National Accounts sector breakdown requirements under European System of
subsector for the purposes of National Accounts and Accounts 2010, the Office for National Statistics announced in December 2014 its plans to assess
Economic Statistics. whether it was necessary that a 'State Government' subsector should be delimited separately from
the existing Central Government and Local Government sub-sectors presented in the United
Kingdom (UK) National Accounts and Public Sector Finances. The ONS concluded that State
Government, as defined in ESA 2010 para. 20.63-20.64, does not currently exist in the UK; as such,
there will be no separate presentation of State Government in ONS economic statistics. Further
information on this decision has been published in a short article on the ONS website.

As well as classifying entities, the Economic Statistic Classifications Committee (ESCC) also classifies transactions and flows within the UK national accounts. Decisions taken in this area will also be announced in this monthly update.
Transaction Classification Classification applies Information

from
The Office of Communications (Ofcom) 5G D.45 (Rent) Tuesday, April 27, 2021 ONS has assessed the classification status of the payments made to Ofcom by mobile phone providers, allowing them to transmit signals
spectrum licence sale over specific bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, following successful bids in 5G spectrum auctions completed on 27 April 2021.
The assessment concluded that all the payments should be recorded as rent (D.45). Further, radio spectra are not used to extinction and
the rights granted following a successful bid, either cannot be transferred or their transferral can be vetoed by government. Therefore, the
radio spectrum asset (AN.2151) should remain on the government balance sheet, with no further asset (more specifically a permit to use
natural resources - AN.222) created on the mobile phone providers’ balance sheets. This classification applies with effect from 27 April
2021, the date the 5G auctions concluded.
Cold Weather Payment Social assistance benefits in cash (D.623) ### ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the Cold Weather Payment (CWP). The CWP is governed by The Social Fund Cold
Weather Payments (General) Regulations 1988 which came into force on 7 November 1988. The CWP is paid by the UK Government to
those that are eligible (detailed below) when the average temperature in the area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees Celsius or
below over seven consecutive days. Those that are eligible will receive £25 for each seven day period of cold weather between 1 November
and 31 March (based on the 2021 to 2022 scheme period).
The assessment concluded that the CWP has no social contribution associated with it, and the eligibility criteria includes those considered
to be on low-income or in receipt of other benefits such as pension credit, income support, income-based jobseeker’s allowance, income-
related employment and support allowance, universal credit and support for mortgage interest. Government has identified the social risk of
those that are eligible for the CWP, and this social assistance is provided as a matter of general social policy (see ESA 2010, 4.105 d). This
is further elaborated under SNA 2008, 8.70 as this describes social assistance benefits as only payable to people on low incomes i.e. the
benefits are means tested, where the term “means” is used in the sense of indicating a maximum qualifying level of income.
As such, the CWP has been classified as a Social assistance benefits in cash (D.623) paid by the central government subsector (S.1311) to
the Households sector (S.14) with effect from 7 November 1988, the date the CWP came into force.
Energy Bills Support Scheme Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) Saturday, October 1, 2022 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) which is part of a revised package of support to assist
households in Great Britain with the increase in the cost of living, following a rise in the energy price cap. The delivery of support for
households in Northern Ireland is currently under UK Government consideration. In accordance with the international statistical guidance,
the assessment considered that the EBSS is not included within the remit of an established general social policy, and the background of the
creation of the scheme is not linked, for example, to low-income considerations, nor to the provision of goods to individual beneficiaries. The
EBSS was therefore not considered to be a social benefit or transfer in kind. The assessment acknowledged that the EBSS is a fixed
amount per household and entirely unrelated to the quantity or price of the energy provided to any given customer. Energy companies are
acting as an agent for government to supply the EBSS payments to eligible customers, and the EBSS was therefore not considered to be a
subsidy from government to energy suppliers. A capital transfer was also considered, but the assessment concluded that the EBSS was
designed to assist households with the large increase in energy bills, rather than increasing their wealth. The assessment therefore
determined that as the intention of this scheme is to benefit households, to increase their income to help them to meet their energy
payments over the coming winter period, the scheme payments are classified as an Other miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) from the
central government subsector (S.1311) to the households sector (S.14), and recorded when they are due on a monthly basis for 6
consecutive months beginning from 1 October 2022. This is consistent with the guidance in SNA 2008, 8.110 and ESA 2010 4.138 (h) ‘as a
current transfer from government to households in their capacity as consumers, if not recorded as social benefits’.
Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Taxes on income (D.51) Thursday, May 26, 2022 The Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy (EPL) is an additional tax on the profits of oil and gas companies involved in the exploration for, and
extraction of, oil and gas in the UK and UK Continental Shelf. The EPL will apply to a company’s ring-fenced profits and will increase the
headline rate of tax on those profits by 25%, from 40% to 65%. The levy is designed to help fund cost-of-living support for UK households.
The ONS assessment concluded that the EPL is compulsory and unrequited, and therefore should be classified as a tax. Further to this, the
tax is on the profits of oil and gas companies. It is therefore classified as taxes on income (D.51) as it meets the definition as set out in SNA
2008, 8.61 and ESA 2010 4.78.
The EPL is classified as a tax on income (D.51) paid to the central government subsector (S.1311) by UK oil and gas companies involved in
the exploration for, and extraction of, oil and gas in the UK and the UK Continental Shelf. The EPL is effective from 26 May 2022, the date
set in the Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Act 2022. The first payment received will be accrued back to be reported as close as possible
to the commencement date as per ONS’ methodology. This is in accordance with the guidance on the time of recording of taxes on income
stated in ESA 2010, 4.82.
Health and Social Care Levy Employers’ actual non-pension social contributions (D.6112) Thursday, April 6, 2023 The Health and Social Care Levy Act 2021 established the Health and Social Care Levy (HSCL) with the purpose of significantly increasing
Households' actual non-pension social contributions (D.6132) funding available for health and social care across the United Kingdom.
Social insurance scheme service charge (D.61SC) ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the HSCL in the context of the latest international statistical guidance as described in
the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008, the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the accompanying Manual
on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019.
The assessment concluded that the HSCL is compulsory, being a requirement of the Health and Social Care Levy Act 2021 and is requited.
In addition, the HSCL is considered to be part of a social insurance scheme because participation is mandatory by law for a specified group
of workers, and the benefits received constitute social benefits (SNA 2008, 8.65 and ESA 2010, 4.87).
As such, the HSCL has been classified as a net social contribution (D.61) as set out in SNA 2008, 8.82 and ESA 2010, 4.91, and the
transactions are classified as Employers’ actual non-pension social contributions (D.6112) and Households' actual non-pension social
contributions (D.6132). In line with ESA 2010, 4.91, the service charge applied by HM Revenue and Customs is classified as a social
insurance scheme service charge (D.61SC). These classifications are effective from 6 April 2023, the date on which the HSCL will
commence.
Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Other taxes on production (D.29) Friday, April 1, 2022 The Economic Crime (Anti-Money Laundering) Levy (ECL) was established as part of the Finance Act 2022 and is part of the government’s
Levy wider objective to develop a long-term sustainable resourcing model to tackle economic crime. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulated
entities (for example credit institutions, casinos and estate agents) will pay a fixed amount for the levy per annum, and the amount payable
will be determined based on the sizeband of their UK revenue at the end of the relevant accounting year.
ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the ECL in the context of the latest international statistical guidance as described in the
United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008, the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the accompanying Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019.
The assessment concluded that the ECL transaction is compulsory, being a requirement of the Finance Act 2022. The transaction is
unrequited, as organisations receive nothing directly in exchange for the payment. Although there is a link via the revenue sizeband to the
value of goods and/or services sold, the ECL is primarily a tax on enterprises who are engaged in production in the AML regulated sector.
Therefore, the ECL is classified as other taxes on production (D.29) paid by AML regulated organisations within the private corporations
sectors (S.11 and S.12) to the central government subsector (S.1311). This is effective from 1 April 2022, the date on which the ECL came
into force.
Live Events Reinsurance Scheme One-off guarantee ### The Live Events Reinsurance Scheme (LERS) is a scheme to support live events such as music festivals and concerts, that are at risk of
being stopped or delayed due to an inability to obtain Covid-19 cancellation insurance. An insurer eligible for the scheme pays the
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport an amount equal to the scheme premium with respect to each policy that has been taken
out.
ONS assessed the classification of the LERS in the context of the latest international statistical guidance as described in the United Nations
System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008, the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the accompanying Manual on Government
Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019.
The assessment concluded that the number of LERS policies taken out could be relatively low, as it is a non-compulsory policy that can be
chosen by the insured as a bolt-on policy to another insurance product.
ONS has therefore determined that the LERS should be classified as a one-off guarantee, meaning there will be no immediate impact on
the government’s balance sheet. The classification is effective for the duration of the LERS, which is live events due to be held between 22
September 2021 and 29 September 2022 inclusive.
Live Events Reinsurance Scheme Non-market output (P.131) ### The Live Events Reinsurance Scheme (LERS) is a scheme to support live events such as music festivals and concerts, that are at risk of
Payments being stopped or delayed due to an inability to obtain Covid-19 cancellation insurance.
ONS assessed the classification of the payments associated with the LERS in the context of the latest international statistical guidance as
described in the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008, the European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010 and the
accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD) 2019.
The payments associated to the LERS are classified as non-market output (P.131) as they are received by government in its role of
guarantor, and are accrued over the life of the guarantee (see MGDD 2019 7.4.1, 9). The classification is effective for the duration of the
LERS, which is live events due to be held between 22 September 2021 and 29 September 2022 inclusive.
Residential Property Developer Tax Taxes on income (D.51) Friday, April 1, 2022 The Residential Property Developer Tax (RPDT) has been introduced as part of the Finance Act 2022 on the profits of the largest UK
residential property developers, to help fund government costs associated with the removal of unsafe cladding. It is a 4% tax on the profits
of UK residential property developers that generate profits in excess of £25 million per year directly from UK residential property
development activities from 1 April 2022.
The ONS assessment concluded that RPDT is compulsory and unrequited, and therefore should be classified as a tax. Further to this, the
tax is on the profits of UK residential property developers.
Therefore, RPDT has been classified as taxes on income (D.51) as set out in SNA 2008, 8.61 and ESA 2010 4.78, paid by residential
property developers within the private non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002) to the central government subsector (S.1311),
effective from 1 April 2022.
Discretionary Fund in England Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) As part of the Energy Bills Rebate scheme, a discretionary fund for local authorities in England has been established in order to provide
support to households who are not eligible under the terms of the core Council Tax Rebate scheme, or to provide carefully targeted ‘top-up’
payments to the most vulnerable households in Council Tax bands A to D. This is one element of three parts associated with the Energy
Bills Rebate scheme, the others being the Council Tax Rebate and the £200 discount on domestic energy bills, scheduled for payment in
Autumn 2022.
ONS assessed the classification status of the Discretionary Fund in England and concluded that the principal party to this transaction is the
local government subsector, as they have a high level of discretion over the eligibility criteria with regards to how and who the money is
allocated to, in accordance with the international guidance (SNA 2008 3.70/1 and ESA 2010, 1.78).
Therefore, the initial payment from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the local government subsector (S.1313) should be
classified as Current transfers within general government (D.73), and the payment from local authorities in England to households should be
classified as Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) from the local government subsector (S.1313) to the households sector (S.14)
from April 2022.
Discretionary Scheme Fund in Wales Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) As part of the Cost of Living Scheme, additional funding will be provided for local authorities in Wales which has been established by the
Welsh Government as the Discretionary Scheme Fund. It will provide support to households it considers to be in need of additional
assistance with their living costs.
ONS assessed the classification status of the Discretionary Scheme Fund in Wales and concluded that the principal party to this transaction
is the local government subsector, as they have a high level of discretion over the eligibility criteria with regards to how and who the money
is allocated to, in accordance with the international guidance (SNA 2008 3.70/1 and ESA 2010, 1.78).
Therefore, ONS has classified the initial payment from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the local government subsector
(S.1313) as a Current transfer within general government (D.73), and the payment from local authorities in Wales to households as Other
miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) from the local government subsector (S.1313) to the households sector (S.14) from April 2022.
Energy Supplier of Last Resort Levy Other taxes on production (D.29) and other subsidies on The Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) is a mechanism that Ofgem (the government’s energy regulator) has established. It is a process in
production (D.39) which Ofgem appoints an energy supplier (who has either volunteered or been mandated), known as a SoLR, to take on the customers of a
failing energy supplier. To cover the costs that a SoLR incurs as part of this scheme, the SoLR submits a claim to Ofgem with evidence of
the relevant costs incurred. Ofgem either approves this amount or adjusts it to what it deems suitable. The SoLR then makes a claim for the
approved amount from energy distributors, which is reduced by a percentage of any amounts the SoLR recovers from the liquidation of the
failed energy supplier(s). The energy distributors pay the SoLR this amount, which is referred to as the SoLR levy. This mechanism is
mandated in the Energy Act 2004 and 2011 and set out in energy supply and distribution licenses.
The ONS assessment concluded that the SoLR levy is a compulsory, unrequited payment by the energy distributors to energy suppliers.
Given its redistributive nature, ONS deems it to be economically equivalent to a tax payable by energy distributors with a matching subsidy
to the energy suppliers. These flows are therefore imputed (or rerouted) through the government's accounts, exactly as if government was
operating a more obvious tax and subsidy regime, in line with the guidance in ESA 2010 paragraph 1.72. The assessment concluded that
there was not a strong link between these payments and a quantity or value of a product. This levy therefore applies to energy businesses
as a result of their engaging in production, and is classified as other taxes on production (D.29), with an equal and offsetting other subsidies
on production (D.39).
As such, the SoLR levy has been classified as other taxes on production (D.29), rerouted as a payment levied by the central government
subsector (S.1311) on private sector energy distributors in the private non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002), and other subsidies
on production (D.39) rerouted as a payment from the central government subsector (S.1311) to energy suppliers in the private non-financial
corporations subsector (S.11002).
Public Interest Business Protection Tax Taxes on income (D.51) 1/28/2022 Public Interest Business Protection Tax (PIBPT) has been introduced on the profits that could arise where a business undertakes
arrangements that realise a valuable asset for its own benefit and the benefit of its shareholders. This is because there is a potential risk
that some companies in the energy market and their shareholders might monetise large profits on these assets for their own benefit, leaving
the government and ultimately the wider public to pick up the costs of ensuring the continuity of supplies of energy to customers. This tax
aims to deter this.
The ONS assessment concluded that PIBPT is compulsory and unrequited, and therefore the charge should be classified as a tax. Further
to this, the tax is on the profits that could arise where a business undertakes arrangements that realise a valuable asset for its own benefit
and the benefit of its shareholders, and as such meets the definition of taxes on income (D.51) as set out in SNA 2008, 8.61 and ESA 2010
4.78.
Therefore, PIBPT has been classified as taxes on income (D.51) paid by the households sector (S.14) and/or the corporations subsectors
(S.11, S.12). This tax is intended to be a temporary measure and will only apply for a 12-month period, where the related energy supplier
enters special measures between 28 January 2022 until 27 January 2023 inclusive. However, this period may be extended, and for the time
the new tax is in place, the government will have the power to extend it to protect other public interest businesses covered by other special
administration regimes outside of the energy markets.
Cost of Living Award in Scotland Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) ONS assessed the classification of the Cost of Living Award in Scotland. The Scottish Government will provide £150 to every household in
receipt of Council Tax Reduction in any Council Tax Band, and money will be passed on to Local Authorities to provide £150 to all other
occupied households in Council Tax Bands A to D in Scotland. ONS has concluded that there is no reduction to Council Tax liability, and in
accordance with the international guidance, the Cost of Living Award in Scotland should therefore be classified as a payable tax credit.
The principal party to this transaction is the central government subsector, as Scottish Government is exercising its authority in specifying
the criteria for this Cost of Living Award to be distributed by Local Authorities as delegated authorities. As part of the assessment,
consideration was given to the international guidance related to social assistance benefits in cash. However, the Cost of Living Award is not
included within the remit of an established general social protection policy, and the background of the creation of the scheme is not linked,
for example, to low-income considerations. A capital transfer was also considered, but the assessment concluded that this Cost of Living
Award was designed to assist households with the large increase in energy bills, rather than increasing their wealth.
ONS has therefore concluded that the Cost of Living Award in Scotland should be classified as a payable tax credit, specifically an Other
miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the households sector (S.14), and recorded when
it is due from April 2022.
Cost of Living Payment in Wales Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) ONS assessed the classification of the cost-of-living payment in Wales. The Welsh Government will provide £150 to every household in
properties in Council Tax Bands A to D that are occupied and a main residence, and to all households which receive support from the
Council Tax Reduction Scheme in all Council Tax Bands in Wales. ONS has concluded that there is no reduction to Council Tax liability,
and in accordance with the international guidance, the cost-of-living payment in Wales should therefore be classified as a payable tax credit.
The principal party to this transaction is the central government subsector, as Welsh Government is exercising its authority in specifying the
criteria for this cost-of-living payment to be distributed by Local Authorities as delegated authorities. As part of the assessment,
consideration was given to the international guidance related to social assistance benefits in cash. However, the cost-of-living payment is
not included within the remit of an established general social protection policy, and the background of the creation of the scheme is not
linked, for example, to low-income considerations. A capital transfer was also considered, but the assessment concluded that this cost-of-
living payment was designed to assist households with the large increase in energy bills, rather than increasing their wealth.
ONS has therefore concluded that the cost-of-living payment in Wales should be classified as a payable tax credit, specifically an Other
miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the households sector (S.14), and recorded when
it is due from April 2022.
Plastic Packaging Tax Tax on products, except VAT and import taxes (D.214) Friday, April 1, 2022 ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the transaction associated with the new Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT). The PPT is a
Tax on imports excluding VAT and import duties (D.2122) transaction paid by organisations either manufacturing or importing more than 10 tonnes per year of chargeable plastic packaging. The
assessment concluded that the PPT transaction is compulsory, being a requirement under the Finance Act 2021, and unrequited, as
organisations receive nothing directly in exchange for the payment (ESA 2010, 20.165). Therefore, ONS has concluded that the charge is
classified as a tax on products, except VAT and import taxes (D.214) paid by relevant UK manufacturers, and as a tax on imports excluding
VAT and import duties (D.2122) paid by any organisation in the UK importing this product for commercial purposes.
Council Tax rebate in England Payable tax credit: Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) ONS assessed the classification of the Council Tax rebate in England, which is part of the government’s recently announced Energy Bills
Rebate package. ONS has concluded that there is no reduction to Council Tax liability, and in accordance with the international guidance,
the Council Tax rebate in England should therefore be classified as a payable tax credit. As part of the assessment, consideration was given
to the international guidance related to social assistance benefits in cash. However, the rebate is not included within the remit of an
established general social protection policy, and the background of the creation of the scheme is not linked, for example, to low-income
considerations. A capital transfer was also considered, but the assessment concluded that this rebate was designed to assist households
with the large increase in energy bills, rather than increasing their wealth. ONS has therefore concluded that the Council Tax rebate in
England should be classified as a payable tax credit, specifically an Other miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) from the central
government subsector (S.1311) to the households sector (S.14), and recorded when it is due from April 2022.
Classification assessments for other parts of the Energy Bills Rebate package, including the proposed £200 discount on autumn 2022
domestic energy bills, will be made when more information becomes available.
Kickstart Scheme Other subsidies on production (D.39) ### The Kickstart Scheme allocates government funding to create new, fully subsidised jobs for young people across England, Scotland and
Market output (P.11) Wales. Six-month placements are available to those aged 16 to 24 who are claiming Universal Credit and are at risk of long-term
Non-market output (P.131) unemployment, and was introduced as part of government support to businesses during the coronavirus pandemic.
ONS has assessed the classification status of the Kickstart scheme and concluded it is a transaction from central government to employers
to create jobs for young people, and is a subsidy on payroll or workforce. It is therefore classified as subsidies on production (D.39).
Additionally there is a payment for administrative costs. If these costs are separately identifiable, and are paid from central government to a
local government, non-profit institution serving households (NPISH) or a central government body, they are considered to be non-market
fees for a service (P.131). If they are paid to a market body they are considered to be market fees (P.11). These classification decisions are
effective from 2 September 2020, the date the scheme opened to employers.
Funding of Apprenticeships Other subsidies on production (D.39) Thursday, April 6, 2017 The transactions relating to the Apprenticeship Levy in England include the funding paid by the Education and Skills Funding Agency
Market output (P.11) (ESFA) to training providers, and money paid directly by businesses to training providers.
The intention of the scheme is for the engagement and benefit of employers. The assessment concluded that funds are paid by the ESFA to
the training providers on behalf of employers. To be included on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers, due diligence checks will
have been carried out on training providers and an assessment of their organisation’s capability to provide the training. Funding
arrangements mean the Apprenticeship Levy is collected from employers whose wage bill exceeds £3 million, and it is redistributed among
employers who engage with the scheme. The cost of providing the training is agreed with the relevant employer directly.
As such, the funding paid by the ESFA has been classified as other subsidies on production (D.39), and the payments the training provider
receives have been classified as payments for market output (P.11) with effect from 6 April 2017, the date that funds started to be collected
via the Apprenticeship Levy.
Flood Reinsurance Scheme Levy Other taxes on production (D.29) ### The Flood Reinsurance Scheme aims to improve the availability and affordability of flood insurance for eligible properties, and to manage
the transition to risk reflective pricing for household flood insurance over a 25 year period. The scheme is primarily funded by a levy payable
by insurers, a compulsory requirement outlined in the Flood Reinsurance (Scheme Funding and Administration) Regulations 2015. The
transaction is unrequited, as the insurers receive nothing directly in exchange for making the payment. As a compulsory, unrequited charge,
which is not directly dependent on the quantity or value of the goods or services produced by each insurer, this transaction is classified as
Other taxes on production (D.29). This decision takes effect from 11 November 2015, the date on which the Flood Reinsurance (Scheme
Funding and Administration) Regulations 2015 came into force.
UK Emissions Trading Scheme Permit Other taxes on production (D.29) Friday, January 1, 2021 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS). The UK ETS
Charge replaced the UK’s participation in the European Union Emissions Transfer Scheme (EU ETS) on 1 January 2021. The scheme was
established to continue the UK’s carbon pricing policy, following the UK leaving the EU. The UK ETS permit charge transaction is
compulsory, being a requirement of the Gas Emission Trading Scheme Order 2020. The UK ETS is a transaction from energy intensive
industries, the power generation sector and aviation to central government in order to limit, or encourage the limitation of, the emission of
greenhouse gases. The transaction is unrequited, as organisations receive nothing directly in exchange for the payment. As a compulsory,
unrequited payment levied by government in respect of the production of goods and services this transaction was classified as Other taxes
on production (D.29) with effect from 1 January 2021, the date on which the UK ETS came into force.
UK Emissions Trading Scheme Other miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) Friday, January 1, 2021 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS). The UK ETS
Civil Penalty replaced the UK’s participation in the European Union Emissions Transfer Scheme (EU ETS) on 1 January 2021. The scheme was
established to continue the UK’s carbon pricing policy, following the UK leaving the EU. The UK ETS is a transaction from energy intensive
industries, the power generation sector and aviation to central government in order to limit, or encourage the limitation of, the emission of
greenhouse gases. If an organisation contravenes the UK ETS conditions, the regulator can impose a Civil Penalty, recoverable as a civil
debt. The assessment concluded that this penalty is classified as an Other miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) effective from 1 January
2021, the date on which the UK ETS came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: Other taxes on production (D.29) ### ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
capacity market supplier charge The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. All licensed
electricity suppliers who supply electricity to premises in Great Britain must pay the capacity market supplier charge to the Electricity
Settlements Company, a requirement outlined in The Electricity Capacity (Supplier Payment etc.) Regulations 2014. The transaction is
unrequited, as the government provides nothing commensurate with the payment in exchange to the individual unit making the payment. As
a compulsory, unrequited charge, which is not dependent on the quantity or value of the goods or services produced by each electricity
supplier, this transaction is classified as Other taxes on production (D.29). This classification is effective from 18 December 2014, the date
on which The Electricity Capacity (Supplier Payment etc.) Regulations 2014 came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: Other subsidies on production (D.39) Friday, August 1, 2014 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
capacity market auction payments The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. The
capacity market auction payments, which are paid by the Electricity Settlements Company to capacity providers, aim to influence levels of
production and consumption. The transaction is unrequited as the individual unit making the payment does not receive anything directly in
exchange for making the payment. The main beneficiaries of the transaction are consumers of electricity and society as a whole. As such
the capacity market auction payments are classified as Other subsidies on production (D.39). This classification is effective from 01 August
2014, the date on which The Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014 came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: Other subsidies on production (D.39): negative Friday, August 1, 2014 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
capacity provider penalty charge The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. If a capacity
provider fails to meet their capacity obligation on occurrence of a system stress event, they are required to pay a penalty charge to the
Electricity Settlements Company. The penalty charge cannot exceed the capacity market auction payment made to that provider. This
penalty reduces the income a provider derives from the capacity market, and as such the capacity provider penalty charge is classified as
negative Other subsidies on production (D.39). This classification is effective from 01 August 2014, the date on which The Electricity
Capacity Regulations 2014 came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: over- Other subsidies on production (D.39) Friday, August 1, 2014 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
delivery payments The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. If a capacity
provider exceeds their capacity obligation on occurrence of a system stress event, they can receive over-delivery payments from the
Electricity Settlements Company. The over-delivery payment increases the income a provider derives from the capacity market, and as such
the over-delivery payments have been classified as Other subsidies on production (D.39). This classification is effective from 01 August
2014, the date on which The Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014 came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: Penalty Non-payable tax credit: Other taxes on production (D.29) ### ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
residual supplier amount The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. If penalties
collected from capacity providers exceed over-delivery payments made, the difference is shared among all electricity suppliers who paid the
capacity market supplier charge. As the capacity market supplier charge is classified as a tax, and as the penalty residual supplier amount
cannot affect non-taxpayers, the latter is classified as a non-payable tax credit, Other taxes on production (D.29). This classification is
effective from 18 December 2014, the date on which The Electricity Capacity (Supplier Payment etc.) Regulations 2014 came into force.
Electricity capacity market auctions: Other Miscellaneous Current Transfers (D.759) Friday, August 1, 2014 ONS assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the electricity capacity market auctions operating in Great Britain.
Termination fees The electricity capacity market is an intervention by government to ensure that supply of electricity is sufficient to meet demand. If a
termination event occurs, a termination fee may be payable by the capacity provider to the Electricity Settlements Company. The termination
fees are classified as Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759). This classification is effective from 01 August 2014, the date on which
The Electricity Capacity Regulations 2014 came into force.
Financial Reporting Council Preparer’s Non-Market Output (P.131) ### The Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) work is funded partly through a preparers levy on organisations that are subject to, or have regard
Levy to, FRC regulatory requirements in preparing their accounts. ONS has assessed the classification status of the FRC preparers levy and has
concluded that it is not compulsory as it is collected on a voluntary basis.
The assessment also concluded that the levy is requited as it is set at a level which is proportionate to the costs of the regulatory functions
that FRC provides i.e. it is used to cover part of its total expenditure on regulating auditors, accountants, actuaries and monitoring and
influencing international standards and guidance. Furthermore, the price of the charge is not economically significant as it does not have a
substantial influence on whether companies need to adjust their supply of services, as they choose to pay this levy.
As such, the FRC preparers levy has been classified as a payment for non-market output (P.131) with effect from 28th October 2004, the
date the levy came into effect.
Business Rates: expanded retail discount Other taxes on production (D.29) Thursday, April 1, 2021 Business Rates: expanded retail discount 2021 to 2022 opt out is a Coronavirus intervention measure to support businesses adversely
2021 to 2022 opt out Other current taxes (D.59) affected during the pandemic. Unlike the 2020 to 2021 business rates holiday, the 2021 to 2022 scheme differs in that it introduces a formal
opt out mechanism. Local authorities apply relief to eligible businesses automatically. Businesses then have the ability to refuse relief.
Those businesses that refuse relief are issued a new bill for their pre-relief liability. Any business rates payments those businesses make
will then not be optional but will be payments in respect of an outstanding rates bill with any non-payments subject to the usual compliance
processes.
ONS has assessed the classification status of Business Rates: expanded retail discount 2021 to 2022 opt out and has concluded that the
mechanisms put in place for Business Rates Relief opt out are materially different from the business rates relief of 2020 to 2021. The
mechanism reinstates tax liability. There is precedent in previous cases within ONS that suggest this should be also be classified as a tax.
As such, Business Rates: expanded retail discount 2021 to 2022 opt out has been classified as an Other taxes on production (D.29) or
Other current taxes (D.59) as appropriate to the business with effect from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, the dates for which the Business
Rates Relief opt out applies.
Mortgage Guarantee Scheme Provisions for calls under standardised guarantees (AF.66) 01 October 2018 The Mortgage Guarantee Scheme (MGS) launched on the 19 April 2021 and is open until 31st December 2022. The MGS aims to help first
time buyers or current homeowners secure a mortgage with a 5% deposit to buy a house of up to £600,000.
ONS has determined that the MGS should be classified as a standardised guarantee, meaning the government’s balance sheet will include
a liability, a provision for calls under standardised guarantees (AF.66), equivalent to the present value of the expected calls under the
guarantees. This classification is effective from 19 April 2021, the date the MGS was launched.
Regulator of Social Housing registration Payment for non-market output (P.131) 01 October 2018 The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) is responsible for regulating registered providers of social housing, resulting in an efficient well
fees governed sector, delivering homes that meet a range of needs.
ONS has assessed the classification status of RSH registration fees and has concluded that the fees are compulsory, as although there is
no requirement to register before providing social housing, in order to be listed as ‘registered’, the provider must apply to RSH. The charges
can be considered to be requited as they are regulatory in nature and prices are set to recover the cost of delivering the service. The
charges were not considered to be economically significant as there is no obvious market in which RSH functions.
As such, the registration fees have been classified as a payment for non-market output (P.131) from 1 October 2018, the date RSH was
established.
Super deduction capital allowances Non-payable tax credit 01 April 2021 ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the new, temporary capital allowances announced in Budget 2021. The new measure
provides an entity which purchases eligible plant and machinery with (i) a ‘super-deduction’ providing allowances of 130% on most new
plant and machinery investments that ordinarily qualify for 18% main rate writing down allowances and (ii) a first-year allowance of 50% on
most new plant and machinery investments that ordinarily qualify for 6% special rate writing down allowances. The assessment concluded
that the new allowances should be classified as non-payable tax credits, because the amount of relief available is limited to the size of a
taxpayer’s tax liability.
As a non-payable tax credit, the new measure will be recorded as negative tax revenue, that is, a deduction from total corporation tax
revenue. This classification is effective from 1 April 2021, the date that the measure became effective, and is applicable to all relevant
expenditure incurred between 1 April 2021 until the end of March 2023.
Recovery Loan Scheme Provisions for calls under standardised guarantees (AF.66) 06 April 2021 The Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) ensures businesses of any size can continue to access loans and other kinds of finance of up to £10
million per business once the existing COVID-19 loan schemes (Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, the Coronavirus Large
Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the Bounce Back Loan Scheme) closed on 31 March 2021. ONS has determined that the RLS
should be classified as a standardised guarantee, meaning the government’s balance sheet will include a liability, a provision for calls under
standardised guarantees (AF.66), equivalent to the present value of the expected calls under the guarantees. The classification is effective
from 6 April 2021, the date the RLS was opened to lenders.
Recovery Loan Scheme guarantee fees Non-Market Output (P.131) 06 April 2021 The Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) ensures businesses of any size can continue to access loans and other kinds of finance of up to £10
million per business once the existing COVID-19 loan schemes (Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, the Coronavirus Large
Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the Bounce Back Loan Scheme) closed on 31 March 2021. In order to access the guarantee,
lenders pay a fee to the government. As there is no evidence to suggest that the fees are set to cover expected losses, and as there is no
market for such guarantees beyond the provision offered by the government, the fees have been classified as non-market output (P.131).
The classification is effective from 6 April 2021, the date the RLS was opened to lenders.
Financial Services Compensation Scheme Non-market output (P.131) 01 December 2001 The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is largely funded through payments from financial firms. As FSCS has been
Levy classified as a supervisory authority for statistical purposes, and as the FSCS levy is charged at a level that corresponds to the amount it
costs to provide the supervision, the levy has been classified as non-market output (P.131) (see MGDD 2019 1.5, 6) with effect from 1
December 2001, the date FSCS began operating.
UK Global Tariff Import duties (D.2121) 01 January 2021 The UK global tariff (UKGT) is a UK Government trade tariff on goods imported to the UK. ONS has assessed the classification status of
UKGT and has concluded that it is compulsory as once a body has chosen to import a good to the UK it must pay the tariff associated with
the good to the UK government.
The assessment also concluded that the tariff is unrequited as no significant work is undertaken in exchange for the payment and the
charge is set at a level above the global cost to deliver the service.
Therefore, as UKGT is compulsory, unrequited and is paid on goods of a particular type when they enter the UK for use (see ESA 2010
4.18) UKGT has been classified as a tax on import duties (D.2121) with effect from 1 January 2021, the date UKGT replaced the Common
External Tariff.
Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) 01 April 2019 The Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) is the scheme operated by NHS Resolution that provides NHS General
Practice Practitioners and other healthcare professionals in England with an indemnity against claims relating to clinical negligence for incidents that
occurred after March 31 2019.
ONS has assessed the classification status of CNSGP and has concluded that future negligence claims to be paid by the government
should be treated as contingent liabilities, as the requirement for the government to meet their commitments under the scheme only
materialises when specific conditions prevail (see ESA 2010 5.08).
Therefore, it was determined that when claims arise following a ruling of negligence, other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) will be
recorded, as it is a payment of compensation for injury (see ESA 2010 4.136). The transactions will be recorded when a ruling is made
which results in compensation being due (see ESA 2010 4.137).
The classification applies from 1 April 2019, the date CNSGP was established.
Existing Liabilities Scheme for General Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) and other capital 06 April 2019 The Existing Liabilities Scheme for General Practice (ELSGP) is the scheme operated by NHS Resolution that provides NHS General
Practice (England) transfers (D.99) Practitioners and other healthcare professionals in England with an indemnity against claims relating to clinical negligence for incidents that
occurred before April 1 2019.
ONS has assessed the classification status of ELSGP and has concluded that future negligence claims to be paid by the government should
be treated as contingent liabilities, as the requirement for the government to meet their commitments under the scheme only materialises
when specific conditions prevail (see ESA 2010 5.08).
It was also determined that the transfer of assets and future liabilities from Medical Defence Organisations to the government following the
creation of ELSGP will be recorded as an other capital transfer (D.99) as it is a non-recurring redistribution of wealth (see ESA 2010 4.164).
These classifications apply from 6 April 2019, the date ELSGP was established.
Existing Liabilities Scheme for General Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) and other capital 06 April 2019 The Existing Liabilities Scheme for General Practice (ELSGP) is the scheme operated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership that
Practice (Wales) transfers (D.99) provides NHS General Practitioners and other healthcare professionals in Wales with an indemnity against claims relating to clinical
negligence for incidents that occurred before April 1 2019.
ONS has assessed the classification status of ELSGP and has concluded that future negligence claims to be paid by the government should
It was also determined that the transfer of assets and future liabilities from Medical Defence Organisations to the government following the
creation of ELSGP will be recorded as an other capital transfer (D.99) as it is a non-recurring redistribution of wealth (see ESA 2010 4.164).
These classifications apply from 6 April 2019, the date ELSGP was established.
Scheme for General Medical Practice Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) 01 April 2019 The Scheme for General Medical Practice Immunity (GMPI) is the scheme operated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership that
Immunity provides NHS General Practitioners and other healthcare professionals in Wales with an indemnity against claims relating to clinical
negligence for incidents that occurred after March 31 2019.
ONS has assessed the classification status of GMPI and has concluded that future negligence claims to be paid by the government should
The classification applies from 1 April 2019, the date GMPI was established.
Trade Credit Reinsurance Scheme One-off guarantee 01 April 2020 The Trade Credit Reinsurance Scheme (TCRS) is the scheme created by the government following the coronavirus pandemic to provide
support to trade credit insurers (TCIs). ONS has determined that TCRS should be classified as a one-off guarantee, meaning there will be
no immediate impact on the government’s balance sheet. The classification is effective from 1 April 2020, the date the scheme has been
backdated to.
Trade Credit Reinsurance Scheme 01 April 2020 The Trade Credit Reinsurance Scheme (TCRS) is the scheme created by the government following the coronavirus pandemic to provide
Payments support to trade credit insurers (TCIs). As part of the scheme, payments are made from TCIs to the government. As these payments are not
compulsory, they have been classified as non-market output (see MGDD 2019 7.4.1, 9). The classification is effective from 1 April 2020, the
date the scheme has been backdated to.
Bounceback Loan Scheme Provisions for calls under standarised guarantees (AF.66) 04 May 2020 The Bounceback Loan Scheme (BBLS) is a loan guarantee scheme created by the government to support UK businesses that are losing
revenue and seeing their cashflow disrupted as a result of coronavirus. ONS has determined that BBLS should be classified as a
standardised guarantee, meaning the government’s balance sheet will include a provision for calls under standardised guarantees liability
(AF.66), equivalent to the present value of the expected calls under the guarantees. The classification is effective from 4 May 2020, the date
BBLS was opened to applications.
Digital Services Tax Tax on imports excluding VAT and import duties (D.2122) and Tax 01 April 2020 The digital services tax (DST) is the charge levied on the businesses of a group that provide a social media service, search engine, or online
on products except VAT and import taxes (D.214) marketplace to UK users. ONS has assessed the classification status of DST and has concluded that it is compulsory as it must be paid to
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) when a business has chosen to provide a digital service to UK users, and the worldwide
revenue of its group exceeds £500 million (with £25 million of that revenue derived from UK users).
The assessment also concluded that the DST is unrequited as the charge is not proportionate to what is provided by HMRC, and because
there is a surplus by design to fund broader benefits to a different section of society than the corporations that paid the tax.
The assessment further concluded that it is appropriate to split the classification according to whether it is being paid by a producer that is
resident in the UK or a producer that is not resident in the UK. If the latter, the transaction is a tax on imports excluding VAT and import
duties (D.2122), as it is a tax on a specific service provided by a non-resident enterprise to resident units within the UK’s economic territory
(see ESA 2010 4.18). If the former, the transaction is a tax on products except VAT and import taxes (D.214), in part as taxes on products
except VAT and import taxes include turnover taxes (see ESA 2010 4.20, i). The classifications are effective from 1 April 2020, the date the
tax was introduced
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Provisions for calls under standarised guarantees (AF.66) 11 March 2020 The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) are
Scheme (CBILS) and Coronavirus Large loan guarantee schemes created by the government to support UK businesses that are losing revenue and seeing their cashflow disrupted
Business Interruption Loan Scheme as a result of coronavirus. ONS has determined that both schemes should be classified as standardised guarantees, meaning the
(CLBILS) government’s balance sheet will include a provision for calls under standardised guarantees liability (AF.66), equivalent to the present value
of the expected calls under the guarantees. The classification is effective from 11 March 2020, the date CBILS was first announced.
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Non-market output (P.131) 11 March 2020 The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) are
Scheme (CBILS) and Coronavirus Large loan guarantee schemes created by the government to support UK businesses that are losing revenue and seeing their cashflow disrupted
Business Interruption Loan Scheme as a result of coronavirus. In order to access the guarantee, lenders pay a fee to the government. As there is no evidence to suggest that
(CLBILS) guarantee fees the fees are set to cover expected losses, and as there is no market for such guarantees beyond the provision offered by the government,
the fees have been classified as non-market output (P.131). The classification is effective from 11 March 2020, the date CBILS was first
announced.
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Other subsidies on production (D.39) 11 March 2020 The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) is a loan guarantee scheme created by the government to support UK
Scheme (CBILS) Business Interruption businesses that are losing revenue and seeing their cashflow disrupted as a result of coronavirus. As part of the scheme, the government
Payment makes a business interruption payment to the borrowing business to cover the first twelve months of interest payments from the borrower to
the lender. As this is a grant for interest relief, the payment has been classified as an other subsidy on production (D.39). The classification
is effective from 11 March 2020, the date CBILS was first announced.
Concessionary fuel payments made under Social insurance non-pension benefit (D.6222); Employers' 29-Nov-83 ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the payments made under the National Concessionary Fuel Scheme (NCFS). As part of
the National Concessionary Fuel Scheme imputed non-pension social contribution (D.1222) and Employers' a collection of fuel agreements, the NCFS provides miners with either free solid fuel (coal) or cash in lieu of fuel if they are ex-employees of
imputed non-pension social contribution (D.6122) the National Coal Board or British Coal Corporation, or a widow or widower of an ex-employee.
ONS has concluded that the transactions taking place are to prevent miners suffering a social risk of not being able to heat their homes.
Therefore,
1. A transaction will be imputed between the employer and the households sector and will be recorded at the time the work was carried
out, to reflect the fact that the cost of social benefits forms part of employers’ labour costs. More specifically the transaction will be recorded
as an employers’ imputed non-pension social contribution (D.1222).
2. A transaction, of the same value as the transaction above but in the opposite direction, will be imputed between the households sector
and the employer. This transaction will be recorded at the time the work was carried out, to reflect the fact that the households have not
actually received the social contribution. More specifically, the transaction will be recorded as an employers’ imputed non-pension social
contribution (D.6122).
3. At the time beneficiaries receive the concessionary coal or cash in lieu, a transaction will be recorded as an other social insurance non-
pension benefit (D.6222) from the employer or central government to households, depending on the arrangements in place at the time.
Network Rail railway arch agreement Market output (P.11) and Trade credits and advances (F.81) 4-Feb-19 ONS has undertaken a classification assessment of the transactions associated with the agreement whereby Network Rail (NR) will lease a
portfolio of properties to The Arch Company, a joint venture between two private sector bodies.
ONS has concluded that the agreement will be recorded as an operating lease. As there was a single up-front receipt for the leasehold,
rental payments (P.11) will be recorded on an accrued basis, but will be offset by an equivalent liability in the form of Trade credits and
advances (F.81).
ONS has also concluded that as part of the Business Sale Agreement, produced non-financial assets such as equipment and vehicles were
sold. This will be recorded as a sale of non-financial assets, rather than being recorded as part of the operating lease detailed above.
These transactions will be recorded as taking place from 4 February 2019, the date the agreement was signed.
Dartford Crossing Tolls Other tax on production (D.29) and Other current taxes (D.59) 1-Apr-02 The Dartford Crossing consists of two tunnels for northbound traffic and the Queen Elizabeth II bridge for southbound traffic. ONS has
assessed the classification status of the Dartford Crossing tolls and has concluded that there are no viable alternatives to using the
crossings, making the activity compulsory. The majority of the toll revenue is used to fund other general transport activities. Therefore, while
there is some benefit to those travelling, the charge is primarily a means to fund broader benefits to a section of society, making it
unrequited.
As such, the Dartford Crossing tolls have been classified as other taxes on production (D.29) when paid by corporations and other current
taxes (D.59) when paid by households with effect from 1 April 2002, the date the toll extension period led to all toll revenue being passed
over gross to the Department for Transport.
Dartford Crossing Fines Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) 30-Nov-14 Dartford Crossing fines are for non payment of the tolls for using the Dartford Crossing, and were established under The Road User
Charging Schemes (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014. ONS has assessed the
classification status of the Dartford Crossing fines and has concluded that these fines should be classified as other miscellaneous current
transfers (D.759) with effect from 30 November 2014, the date the fines were introduced.
Office of Rail and Road Safety Levy Non market fees (P.131) 1-Apr-15 The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) regulates the rail industry’s health and safety performance and monitors Highways England’s
management of the strategic roads network. It receives income from a safety levy paid for by the industry. ONS has assessed the
classification status of the safety levy and has concluded that it is compulsory as train operating companies must make the payment in order
to gain permission to provide their service.
ONS also concluded that the levy is requited as it is regulatory in nature, proportionate with the service being provided, and set at a level to
cover the global costs of providing the service. ONS further concluded that the levy is not economically significant as it does not have a
substantial influence on the level of demand.
As such, the safety levy has been classified as a non-market fee (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2015, the date ORR was created.
Office of Rail and Road Licence Fees Non market fees (P.131) 1-Apr-15 The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) regulates the rail industry’s health and safety performance and monitors Highways England’s
management of the strategic roads network. It receives income from an economic licence fee paid for by the industry. ONS has assessed
the classification status of the licence fee and has concluded that it is compulsory as companies must make the payment in order to gain
permission to provide their service.
ONS also concluded that the licence fee is requited as it is regulatory in nature, proportionate with the service being provided, and set at a
level to cover the global costs of providing the service. ONS further concluded that the levy is not economically significant as it does not
have a substantial influence on the level of demand.
As such, the licence fee has been classified as a non-market fee (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2015, the date ORR was created.
MHRA charges for inspections, licensing, Non-market fee (P.131) 1-Apr-03 The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the body that acts on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and
medical device assessments, and periodic Social Care in making decisions on the approval of marketing authorisations for medicines and medical devices.
fees
ONS has concluded that the income MHRA receives from charges for inspections, licensing, medical device assessments, and periodic fees
can be considered to be compulsory, as if a corporation wishes to sell medicines or medical devices, it must receive a license from MHRA.
The charges can also be considered to be requited as they are regulatory in nature, proportionate with the service being provided, and set
at a level to cover the global cost of providing the service. However, the charges were not considered to be economically significant as they
do not have a substantial influence on demand, and MHRA does not appear to be functioning within a market. The charges have therefore
been classified as non-market fees (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2003, the date MHRA came into existence.
Audit Scotland audit fee income Non-market fee (P.131) 1-Apr-00 Audit Scotland was established to audit the financial accounts of public bodies in Scotland. ONS last reviewed the classification of Audit
Scotland under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification in the context of the
internationally-agreed rules laid out in ESA 2010. In carrying out this assessment, it was necessary to review the income Audit Scotland
receives from auditing the financial accounts of public bodies in Scotland.
ONS concluded that the audit income AS receives can be considered to be compulsory, as all public sector bodies are required by law to
have their financial accounts audited, and Audit Scotland is the only organisation that can provide this service.
The auditing service is regulatory in nature as it is an assessment of the quality or standard of services provided by public bodies. The audit
charge is requited because significant work is carried out to deliver a direct benefit to the payer, and because the charges are proportionate
with the service being provided and set at a level to cover the global cost of providing the service. The charge does not have a substantial
influence on demand, as Scottish public sector bodies are required by law to submit to and pay for the audits.
As such, audit fee income has been classified as a non-market fee (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2000, the date Audit Scotland was
established.
Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Non-market fee (P.131) 1-Apr-14 The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) was established to provide driver, vehicle, and MOT services following the merger of the
driver, vehicle and MOT services income Driving Standards Agency and Vehicle and Operator Services Agency. In carrying out the classification assessment of DVSA, it was
necessary to review the income it receives from driver, vehicle, and MOT services.
ONS concluded that the charges for these services can be considered compulsory as payment must be made to DVSA to receive
permission to drive a vehicle. ONS further concluded that the services provided are regulatory in nature as in providing them, DVSA
assesses the competence of drivers and safety of vehicles. As DVSA is undertaking significant work to deliver a direct benefit to the payer,
and as the charges are proportionate with the service being provided and set at a level to cover the global costs of the service, ONS
determined that they are requited. ONS also concluded that the charges did not have a substantial influence on the level of demand for the
services, meaning they are not economically significant. As such, income received by DVSA for driver, vehicle and MOT services should be
considered for statistical purposes as non-market fees (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2014, the date DVSA was established.
Registers of Scotland registration of title Other tax on production (D.29) and Other current taxes (D.59) 1-Apr-96 Registers of Scotland (RoS) was established in 1948 to register ownership of property and land in Scotland. ONS last reviewed the
income classification of RoS under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification in the context
of the internationally-agreed rules laid out in ESA 2010. The classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that RoS was
classified as a public corporation (thus producing only market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O
(which is for non-market bodies). In carrying out this assessment, it was necessary to review the income RoS receives from registration of
title, which makes up the majority of their revenue.
ONS concluded that the income RoS receives from registration of title is compulsory, as once a decision has been taken to register property
and land it is only possible to do so with RoS, as mandated by the Scottish Government. ONS has also determined that the income is
unrequited for reasons including that the calculation of the payment due to RoS is based on the value of property registered and is not
linked directly to the work carried out by RoS.
Thus, registration of title income has been classified as D.29 (other taxes on production) for payments made by corporations and D.59
(other current taxes) for payments made by households, with effect from 1 April 1996, the date from which Scotland has been subject to
compulsory payment for registration (Land Registers (Scotland) Act 1995 Section 1).
Wales Audit Office audit fee income Non-market fee (P.131) 1-Apr-05 Wales Audit Office (WAO) was established by the National Assembly for Wales (NAfW) in 2005 to audit the financial accounts of public
bodies in Wales. ONS last reviewed the classification of WAO under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now
reviewed the classification under ESA 2010. The classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that WAO was classified as a
public corporation (thus producing only market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O (which is for
non-market bodies). In carrying out this assessment, it was necessary to review the income WAO receives from auditing the financial
accounts of public bodies in Wales.
ONS concluded that the audit income WAO receives can be considered compulsory, as all public sector bodies are required by law to have
their financial accounts audited and WAO is the only organisation that can provide this service. The auditing service is regulatory in nature
as it is an assessment of the quality or standard of services provided by public bodies. The audit fees are requited as significant work is
undertaken when conducting an audit and the audited bodies receive a direct service in return for a fee. It is unlikely that the charge has a
substantial influence on demand, as Welsh public sector bodies are required by law to submit to and pay for the audits.
Thus, audit fee income has been classified as a non-market fee (P.131) with effect from 1 April 2005, the date WAO was established.
Help to Buy ISA Deposits (F.2), Other capital transfers (D.99) 1-Dec-15 The Help to Buy Individual Savings Account (ISA) is an investment vehicle available to UK residents, which receives payments by
households and bonus payments by government. ONS has assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the Help to
Buy ISA and has concluded that payments made by households to the Help to Buy ISA should be classified as deposits (F.2), as they are
long-term saving schemes which are not exchangeable on demand without penalty.The assessment also concluded that the bonus
payments made by government on the savings deposits in the Help to Buy ISA should be classified as other capital transfers (D.99). This
classification applies from 1 December 2015, the date the Help to Buy ISA was launched.
Lifetime ISA Deposits (F.2), Other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759) 6-Apr-17 The Lifetime Individual Savings Account (ISA) is an investment vehicle available to UK residents, which receives payments by households
and bonus payments by government. ONS has assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the Lifetime ISA and
has concluded that payments made by households to the Lifetime ISA should be classified as deposits (F.2), as they are long-term saving
schemes which are not exchangeable on demand without penalty. The assessment also concluded that the bonus payments made by
government on the savings deposits in the Lifetime ISA should be classified as other miscellaneous current transfers (D.759). This
classification applies from 6 April 2017, the date the Lifetime ISA was launched.
Pensioner Bonds Other deposits (F.29), Interest (D.41) 15-Jan-15 Pensioner Bonds were bonds issued by Her Majesty’s Government as part of a savings scheme for people aged 65 years and over, and
was managed by National Savings & Investments. The government launched two schemes; a one year fixed-rate bond and a three year
fixed-rate bond. ONS has assessed the classification status of the transactions associated with the Pensioner Bond scheme and has
concluded that the initial payments for the bonds should be classified as other deposits (F.29).
The assessment also concluded that all government payments on the bonds should be classified as interest (D.41). This classification
applies from 15 January 2015, the date from which Pensioner Bonds were available.
The Office of Communications (Ofcom) Rent (D.45) 27-Apr-00 ONS has assessed the classification status of the payments made to Ofcom by mobile phone providers, allowing them to transmit signals
Spectrum License Auctions over specific bands of the electromagnetic spectrum following successful bids in spectrum auctions, from the year 2000 to the present day.
The assessment concluded that all the payments should be recorded as rent (D.45). Further, as radio spectra are not used to extinction and
the rights granted following a successful bid either cannot be transferred or their transferral can be vetoed by government, the radio spectra
asset (AN.2151) should remain on the government balance sheet, with no further asset (more specifically a permit to use natural resources -
AN.222) created on the mobile phone providers’ balance sheets. This classification applies with effect from 27 April 2000, the date the initial
auction of five spectrum licenses concluded.
Office for Legal Complaints Levy Other tax on production (D.29) 30-Oct-07 The Office for Legal Complaints (the OLC) levy is the payment charged by the OLC on the legal profession to raise an amount to cover
expenditure by the Legal Services Board, the OLC and the Lord Chancellor when fulfilling their complaint-handling functions. ONS has
assessed the classification status of the OLC levy and has concluded that it is compulsory as it must be paid to the Legal Services Board for
payers to be allowed to carry out the activities specified in the Legal Services Act 2007. The assessment also concluded that the levy is
unrequited as the main beneficiary of the payment is wider society, rather than the payer, and the payment is not proportionate to any
regulatory services being provided. Indeed, the OLC were observed not to closely meet the statistical definition of a regulatory body. As the
levy is compulsory and unrequited ONS has concluded that it should be classified as other taxes on production (D.29) with effect from 30
October 2007, the date the Legal Services Act 2007 received Royal Assent.
Visa Charges Other tax on production (D.29), Other current taxes (D.59) and 2-Apr-07 ONS has assessed the classification status of visa and citizenship charges that are collected by the Home Office and has grouped and
non-market fees (P.131) classified them as follows.
Charges for visas (including British citizenship) and points-based system (PBS) applications made both within and outside the UK were
considered together. ONS determined that the charges are compulsory as once an applicant has chosen to apply for a visa or citizenship, it
can only be granted by the Home Office. ONS further determined that although some work is carried out by the Home Office in the form of
verification checks to assess the applications, cost recovery across all visas was set at 192% in 2016/17, which is above the cost of delivery.
ONS concluded that these charges are unrequited as the surplus from the charges funds wider immigration system costs (including some
immigration enforcement and border force costs), and cross-subsidises visas that possess prices set below the cost of delivery, in line with
the 2014 Immigration Act. As these charges are compulsory and unrequited ONS concluded that they should be classified as other current
taxes (D.59).
PBS sponsorship application charges relate to certain PBS applications which require a student or employee to be sponsored by an
education provider or employer. The sponsor obtains a licence from the Home Office which is allocated to the applicant they intend to
sponsor. ONS determined that the charge is compulsory as once a sponsor has decided to apply for a licence, it can only be granted by the
Home Office. ONS further determined that although some work is carried out by the Home Office in the form of verification checks to assess
the applications, cost recovery across all visas was set at 192% in 2016/17, which is above the cost of delivery. ONS concluded that these
charges are unrequited as the surplus from the charges funds wider immigration system costs (including some immigration enforcement and
border force costs), and cross-subsidises visas that possess prices set below the cost of delivery, in line with the 2014 Immigration Act. As
these charges are compulsory, unrequited and paid by businesses as part of their overall production costs, ONS concluded that they should
be classified as other taxes on production (D.29).
Optional premium service charges made within and outside the UK (which enable the outcome of the visa application to be known within a
short time) and discretionary service charges at the border (which offer faster, more convenient entry) were considered together. The
classification assessment concluded that these charges should be classified as non-market fees for sales of service (P.131) as purchasing
these services is not required in order to obtain a visa or to gain entry at the border, making them non-compulsory.
These classifications are effective from 2 April 2007, the day the Home Office introduced their current visa model.
Immigration Health Surcharge Households’ actual social contributions (D.613) 6-Apr-15 ONS has assessed the classification status of the Immigration Health Surcharge, the charge payable by all non-European Economic Area
nationals who apply for visas lasting more than six months. The surcharge payment entitles applicants to receive NHS care in the same way
as permanent UK residents.
ONS concluded that it should be classified as a social contribution (D.61), specifically households’ actual social contributions (D.613), as it is
a contribution made to a social insurance scheme to make provision for social benefits to be paid. This classification is effective from 6 April
2015, the day the surcharge was introduced.
Companies House Registration Income Other tax on production (D.29) 01-Nov-1844 Companies House (CH) was established in 1844 to allow for the creation and registration of corporations in the UK. ONS last reviewed the
classification of CH under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification under ESA
2010. The classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that CH was classified as a public corporation (thus producing only
market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O (which is for non-market bodies). In carrying out this
assessment, it was necessary to review the income CH receives from registration, which makes up a majority of their revenue.
ONS concluded that the income CH receives from company registration and subsequent confirmation statements is compulsory, as CH has
an artificial monopoly, created by law, over the registration of limited companies/partnerships. ONS has also determined that the income is
unrequited for reasons including the fact that all registered companies pay the same amount for confirmation statements, regardless of how
many registration changes are made subsequently. Thus, registration income has been classified as D.29 (other taxes on production), with
effect from 1 November 1844, the date the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 received Royal Assent and resulted in the establishment of CH.
HMLR Registration of title income Other tax on production (D.29) and Other current taxes (D.59) 1-Dec-90 Her Majesty’s Land Registry (HMLR) was established in 1862 to register ownership of property and land in the UK. ONS last reviewed the
classification of HMLR under the European System of Accounts (ESA) 1995 framework and has now reviewed the classification under ESA
2010. The classification assessment was initiated after it was identified that HMLR was classified as a public corporation (thus producing
market output) while possessing a Standard Industrial Classification within NACE O (which is for non-market bodies). In carrying out this
assessment, it was necessary to review the income HMLR receives from registration of title, which makes up a majority of their revenue.
ONS concluded that the income HMLR receives from registration of title is compulsory, as HMLR has an artificial monopoly, created by law,
over the registration of title. ONS has also determined that the income is unrequited for reasons including the fact that the calculation of the
payment due to HMLR is based on the value of property registered and is not linked directly to the work carried out by HMLR. Thus,
registration of title income has been classified as D.29 (other taxes on production) for payments made by corporations and D.59 (other
current taxes) for payments made by households, with effect from 1 December 1990, the date the whole of England and Wales has been
subject to compulsory registration.
Land Transaction Tax Tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) 1-Apr-18 The Land Transaction Tax (LTT), established on 1 April 2018 through the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes
(Wales) Act 2017, replaces the stamp duty land tax in Wales. LTT is collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority and is paid by purchasers of
freehold or leasehold property and varies according to the purchase price of the property and whether it is a residential or non-residential
property.
ONS has assessed the classification status of LTT and has concluded that as it is a compulsory, unrequited charge, it should be classified
as a Tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214).
Landfill Disposals Tax Tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) 1-Apr-18 The Landfill Disposals Tax (LDT), established on 1 April 2018 by the Landfill Disposals Tax (Wales) Act 2017 replaces the landfill tax in
Wales. LDT is collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority and is paid by landfill site operators based on the weight and type of material
disposed.
ONS has assessed the classification status of LDT and has concluded that as it is a compulsory, unrequited charge, it should be classified
as a Tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214).
Soft Drinks Industry Levy Tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) 6-Apr-18 The Soft Drinks Industry Levy (the levy) which was introduced on 6 April 2018, relates to the production and importation of soft drinks
containing added sugar. The levy was established by the Finance Act 2017, and is charged on volumes according to the total sugar content.
It is charged at a lower rate (18p per litre) for soft drinks with a total sugar content of 5 grams or more per 100 millilitres, and at a higher rate
(24p per litre) for soft drinks with a total sugar content of at least 8 grams per 100 millilitres. The levy also applies to alcoholic drinks with an
alcohol by volume of up to 1.2%. The levy will be paid by all producers and importers of soft drinks containing added sugar, and will be
collected by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs each financial quarter.
The ONS assessed the treatment of the levy in the context of the internationally agreed rules laid out in the European System of Accounts
2010 and the accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt.
The assessment concluded this levy should be classified as a tax on products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214).
Apprenticeship Levy D.29 Central Government (S.1311) 6-Apr-17 As part of the Finance Bill 2016, the Government produced draft legislation which was implemented from 6 April 2017, which included a new
compulsory apprenticeship levy on all UK employers whose wage bill exceeds £3 million. The levy is designed to encourage employers to
invest in apprenticeships, and is intended to create 3 million new apprenticeships by 2020. It is paid by large employers across the public
and private sectors, and has been classified as a tax on production (D.29), collected by Central Government.
Immigration Skills Charge D.29 Central Government (S.1311) 6-Apr-17 On 29 March 2017, the immigration skills charge was approved by parliament under The Immigration Skills Charge Regulations 2017 and
came into force on 6 April 2017. The immigration skills charge is a compulsory charge on the employer of non-EEA migrants who apply
under Tier 2 (General) or Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) for a visa to work in the UK. There are exemptions to those recruited into PhD-
level occupations and those international students in the country under a Tier 4 visa who are able under the immigration rules to switch into
Tier 2 (General).The charge will not apply to non-EEA nationals who were sponsored in the Tier 2 immigration category before 6 April 2017
and who apply from within the UK to extend their Tier 2 stay with either the same or a different sponsor. This charge impacts employers
across the public and private sectors, and will be classified as D.29 taxes collected by Central Government.

Bank of England Term Funding Scheme: Cash asset (transferable deposits - AF.22) / other deposits liability 19-Sep-16 ONS has classified the Bank of England’s Term Funding Scheme (TFS) in accordance with international rules set out in the European
creation of central bank reserves (other deposits - AF.29) for Bank of England System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying statistical manuals. ONS has concluded that its economic statistics will reflect the
TFS in the public sector balance sheet through both a loan asset for the TFS lending to banks and building societies, and a deposit liability
Corresponding other deposits asset (AF.29) recorded in the UK relating to the creation of central bank reserves. However, as the classification decision also dictates that the loan assets are to be recorded
Monetary Financial Institutions sector as illiquid assets, the impact of the TFS on the Public Sector Net Debt will be to increase it by the value of the central bank reserves created
to fund the TFS lending (all else being equal). The Bank of England has indicated that the value of lending in the TFS could reach £100
billion. The classification review also took into account previous decisions on similar schemes, such as the Funding for Lending Scheme
Bank of England Term Funding Scheme: Interest (D..41) (FLS) and the Special Liquidity Scheme (SLS), and contrasts the classification decisions for these different schemes. The following
payments by Bank of England on liability classification decisions were made:
relating to the creation of central bank • The creation of central bank reserves is to be shown as a cash (AF.22) asset and an other deposits (AF.29) liability. A corresponding other
reserves deposits (AF.29) asset is recorded for the UK financial corporation sector. This is the same treatment as is currently applied to the Asset
Purchase Facility.
• The payments by the Bank of England on the liability relating to the creation of central bank reserves are to be recorded as interest (D.41).
Bank of England Term Funding Scheme: Cash flow from Bank of England to TFS participant - transferable This is the same treatment as currently in the Asset Purchase Facility.
loan from Term Funding Scheme to deposit (F.22) / long-term asset (AF.42) for TFS / long-term loan • The loan from the TFS to the participating bank and/or building society is to be recorded as a cash (F.22) flow from the Bank of England to
participating bank and/or building society liability (AF.42) for TFS participant the TFS participant, a long-term loan (AF.42) asset for the TFS, and a corresponding long-term loan (AF.42) liability for the TFS participant.
(Note: The cash flow reduces the AF.22 level of the public sector by the same value as that of the AF.22 asset formed by the creation of
central bank reserves.)
• Collateral assets provided against the loan are to be recorded on the balance sheet of the TFS participant.
• The income flows relating to collateral assets are to be shown as received by TFS participant.
• All loan fees or payments from the TFS participants to the Bank of England to be recorded as interest (D.41) and appropriately accrued.
These decisions mean, as a result of the TFS, that the public sector balance sheet contains a liability as a result of the creation of the
central bank reserves and an asset as a result of the loans to TFS participants.
The cash asset formed by the creation of central bank reserves is transferred to the MFI sector as the loan (this transfer is represented by
the cash (F.22) flow described above), and therefore there is no net change in the level of deposit (AF.22) assets on the public sector
balance sheet and no impact on Public Sector Net Debt (PSND) from this cash asset.
To decide the impact on Public Sector Net Debt (PSND) it is necessary to decide whether the TFS loan asset is a liquid asset (which is
included in PSND), or an illiquid asset (which is excluded from PSND). After reviewing the guidance on what constitutes a liquid asset we
have concluded that:
• The loan from the TFS to the participating bank and/or building society is to be recorded as a cash (F.22) flow from the Bank of England to
the TFS participant, a long-term loan (AF.42) asset for the TFS, and a corresponding long-term loan (AF.42) liability for the TFS participant.
(Note: The cash flow reduces the AF.22 level of the public sector by the same value as that of the AF.22 asset formed by the creation of
central bank reserves.)
Bank of England Term Funding Scheme: all Interest (D.41) • Collateral assets provided against the loan are to be recorded on the balance sheet of the TFS participant.
loan fees and interest payments from the • The income flows relating to collateral assets are to be shown as received by TFS participant.

These decisions mean, as a result of the TFS, that the public sector balance sheet contains a liability as a result of the creation of the
central bank reserves and an asset as a result of the loans to TFS participants.
The cash asset formed by the creation of central bank reserves is transferred to the MFI sector as the loan (this transfer is represented by

Revenue Scotland: Land and Building Taxes on Products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) 1-Apr-15 Revenue Scotland is a Non-Ministerial Department responsible for the collection and management of devolved taxes in Scotland. Currently,
Transaction Tax it collects two devolved taxes which both came into effect on 1 April 2015: (a) the Scottish “Land and Buildings Transactions Tax”; and (b)
the “Scottish Landfill Tax”. ONS assessed the statistical recording of both taxes in the context of rules in ESA 2010 and MGDD 2014.
-It was concluded that as the Land and Building Transaction Tax is chargeable on the sale of a property at a given percentage rate, it
Revenue Scotland: Scottish Landfill Tax Taxes on Products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) 1-Apr-15 satisfies the description of Taxes on Products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) detailed in ESA 2010, paras. 4.19-4.20. This recording
is consistent with the current classification of UK Stamp Duty.
-ONS also concluded that because the Scottish Landfill Tax is chargeable by weight and is a result of engaging in production and/or
consumption, it too meets the description of Taxes on Products, except VAT and Import Taxes (D.214) detailed in ESA 2010, paras. 4.19-
4.20. This recording is consistent with the current classification of UK Landfill Tax.
Both classifications as D.214 are effective from 1 April 2015, the date the devolved taxes came into force.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council Payments for non-market output (P.131) 1-Jan-02 The Nursing and Midwifery Council is funded through membership fees from their members. ONS assessed these payments, concluding
membership fees that they will be recorded as payments for non-market output (P.131) as specified in the 2014 Manual on Government and Deficit and Debt
(MGDD)
Diverted Profits Tax Taxes on income (D.51) 1-Apr-15 The Diverted Profits Tax (DPT) is aimed at counteracting arrangements used by large groups, typically multinational enterprises, that result
in the "erosion of UK tax base". Specifically, the DPT applies in two distinct cases;
- where a foreign company structures its affairs to avoid a UK taxable presence (referred to as a permanent establishment); or
- where a company, which is taxable in the UK, creates tax advantage by involving entitles or transactions which "lack economic substance"
The DPT applies to diverted profits arising on or after 1 April 2015; ONS assessed the scheme and concluded that it was a D.51 'tax on
income'.
NHS Prescriptions Social transfers in kind - market production purchased by general 1-Jan-97 The UK government and Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISHs) provide various goods and services to households free of
government and NPISHs(D.632) charge or at prices which are "not economically significant". The European System of Accounts 2010 distinguishes between 'Social
Transfers in Kind - general government and NPISHs non-market production' (D.631) and 'Social transfers in kind — market production
purchased by general government and NPISHs' (D.632). These transactions have been classified as D.632 on the basis that they are
purchases undertaken by government/NPISHs of services provided by market producers to households to address a social risk or need.

Winter Fuel Payment Social security benefits in cash (D.621) 1-Jan-99 Households with individuals over the state pensionable age can receive Winter Fuel Payments to help with heating costs. ONS assessed
these payments, concluding that they are social benefits in cash (D.621) given directly by government to households.
Apprenticeships Other subsidies on production (D.39) 1-Jan-10 Where the government (or NPISHs) provide payments to employers to offer apprenticeship positions these could be viewed as the provision
of training to the apprentice (household) by the employer on behalf of government; that is, as a social transfer in kind (as outlined above).
However, the ONS National Accounts Classification Committee concluded that these payments would be correctly classified as an 'other
subsidy on production (D.39)'.
Electricity Settlements Company (ESC) Tax on Production (D.29) The ESC’s operating costs are fully funded by a mandatory levy placed on all electricity suppliers engaged in the Capacity Markets scheme.
As the levy is not contingent on the quantity or value of the goods or services produced by the electricity suppliers, it was concluded that it
should be treated as a tax on production.
Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) Tax on Production (D.29) The LCCC’s operating costs are fully funded by a mandatory levy placed on all electricity suppliers engaged in this scheme. As the levy is
not contingent upon the value of the goods or services produced by the electricity suppliers, it was concluded that it should be treated as a
tax on production.
Community Infrastructure Levy: Central Tax on Products, except VAT and Import Duties (D.214) The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a mandatory charge levied by Local Authorities on housing developments. The levy is payable
Government to Households per square metre of gross internal floor space of the net additional development liable for the levy. Rates are set by individual Local
Authorities which are obliged to spend the proceeds on infrastructure required to support development. As the CIL is paid by developers
and is not directly requited by the provision of services from the Local Authority to the developer, it is classified as a tax. More specifically,
ONS judged that given the CIL is levied per area of internal flood space built, it is a “Tax on Products, except VAT and Import Duties
(D.214)”.

Sukuk issuance F.3 Debt Security Jun-14 Sukuk is the Arabic name for financial certificates but refers to the Islamic equivalent of bonds. Sharia law prohibits the payment of interest
and sukuk are structured to avoid the payment of interest. On 25 June 2014 the United Kingdom (UK) issued £200m of sovereign sukuk,
based on three central government properties as underlying assets. The sukuk certificates are freely tradable and share common
characteristics with bonds. Therefore, the sukuk issuance will be recorded as bonds from the date of their issuance.

payments to sukuk holders will be treated, under the National Accounts framework, as equivalent to interest (D.41) - a type of property
income (D.4). This recording is in line with the treatment of periodic payments arising from other bonds.
Subscriptions to Multi-Lateral Development Various - See below The UK Government subscribes to a number of Multi-lateral Development Banks (MLDBs) - international institutions that are created by
Banks (MLDBs) groups of countries to provide finance and advice with development goals. MLDBs offer loans to Governments and businesses in
developing countries. Concessionary loans are those made to credit worthy countries at market rates funded by borrowing on international
capital markets with backing by guarantees from member states. Non-concessionary loans are those made to developing countries at rates
substantially below market rates and often with long grace periods. These are funded directly with capital provided by donor Governments.
The European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) compliant version of the 2013 edition of the Manual on Government Deficit and Debt
(MGDD) offers new guidance on the treatment of payments to MLDBs; payments to MLDBs that predominantly provide non-concessionary
loans are recorded as F.519 'other equity' and payments to MLDBs that predominantly provide concessionary loans are recorded as D.99p
'other capital transfers payable'.
The payments to MLDBs listed below have been reviewed and classified as follows:

Payments to Asian Development Bank (not F.519 Other Equity 1966 This MLDB mainly provides non-concessionary loans at market rates to credit worthy countries; payments will continue to be treated as

information is not available to make this distinction, all payments to CDB will be treated as D.99p 'other capital transfers payable' as the
majority of CDB activities are funded from the SDF and OSF.

System of Accounts 1995 (ESA 95) through the payment of contributions. The scheme meets the definition of a D.623 Social Assistance Benefit in Cash under the latest
legislation - the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10). As such, Universal Credit will be treated as D.623 Social Assistance Benefit
in Cash.
Transport for London inter-group transfers F.4 Loans Various Transport for London provides transfers to its subsidiaries- including grants and 'loans' There was a question as to whether the 'loans' would
(other than grants and subsidies) be repaid and whether they in fact meet the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 10) definition of a loan. A review of Transport for
London (TfL) records show that the loans are being repaid and therefore meet the definition of loans provided in the ESA 10 guidance.
Spectrum licenses (3G and 4G) D.45 Rents 2000/ Feb-13 Spectrum licences were previously recorded as sales of assets. New guidance in ESA10 and the accompanying Manual on Government
Deficit and Debt (MGDD) recommends the recording of spectrum licence fees as rent (D.45). This is because of the ability for government to
reject a transfer, and that the radio spectra are not used to extinction. Government provides the radio spectra to operators under a resource
lease - which is defined under ESA 10 15.23: "Definition: a resource lease is one where the owner of a natural resource makes it available
to a lessee in return for a payment recorded as rent". The 3G spectrum allocation should be treated as a resource lease with the associated
payments from enterprises to governments reclassified retroactively as rents (D.45) from 2000 - the time of the allocations of the 3G spectra
licences. The 4G spectrum allocations should be recorded in the same way, from February 2013 - the date at which the licences were
allocated.
Transfer of shares in Royal Mail Plc. to D.9 Capital Transfer Oct-13 In October 2013 the UK Government reduced their shareholding in Royal Mail plc. (held through Postal Services Holding Company plc.)
eligible employees from 100% to 30%. At this time a 10% stake was transferred to eligible Royal Mail employees (to be held in trust for 3 years). The transfer
of these shares is classified as a D.9 Capital Transfer from the Government to the household sector.
Carrier bag charges (Ireland) D.21 Tax on Products Apr-13 On 15 January 2013, Northern Ireland passed regulations for a 5 pence charge on all single-use carrier bags. This was implemented on 8
April 2013. The relevant legislation, 'The Single Use Carrier Bag Charge Regulations (Northern Ireland)' 2013 and 'The Single Use Carrier
Bag Charge Act (Northern Ireland)' 2013, came into effect on 8 April 2013. Payments from the retailers to Government will be treated as
D.21. Tax on products. A similar scheme exists in Wales, but as the retailers are not required to pay money to Government and are simply
encouraged to pay any funds towards charitable causes, no flow will be recorded.
Groceries Code Adjudicator levies D.29 Other Taxes on Production Jun-13 The Groceries Code Adjudicator was set up to enforce the 'Groceries Code of Practice' and protect suppliers from mistreatment by larger
supermarkets and retailers. The body is funded by levies from supermarkets and grants from the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation
and Skills. The levies are compulsory and paid from large supermarkets to Government, and therefore will be classified as D.29 Other
Taxes on Production, in line with historic Office for National Statistics (ONS) treatment of regulatory fees.
Business Rates Supplements D.29 / D.59 Sep-13 The Business Rate Supplements Act 2009 enables levying authorities – county councils, unitary district councils and, in London, the Greater
London Authority - to levy a supplement on the business rate to support additional projects aimed at economic development of the area. The
Greater London Authority (GLA) introduced a business rate supplement (BRS) on 1 April 2010 to finance £4.1 billion of the costs of the
£15.9 billion Crossrail project. As the decision is made at a local level, and all receipts are retained locally, Business Rate Supplements will
be classified as D.29 / D.59 taxes, collected by Local Government.
Receipts from the European Union- D.29 2008 - ongoing The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was launched in 2005 as the world’s first international company-level ‘cap-and trade’ system
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) for reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) cost-effectively. The classification of the EU-ETS scheme was a long running, international
issue, with numerous discussions on how the scheme should be treated, whether it resulted in the creation of assets, how to record any
income EU Government's received from the scheme, and when they should be recorded. Eurostat added specific guidance in a new chapter
of the Manual on Government Deficit and Debt in the 2013 edition. Under this guidance, government receipts from the sale of emissions
permits are recorded as D.29 taxes on production, but not recorded at the time of the sale, but at the time the permits are surrendered.
Bank of England Funding for Lending Securities Lending In July 2012, the Bank of England (BoE) announced the creation of a major scheme is support to the UK banks called Funding for Lending,
intended to boost lending to the real economy. The scheme was described as a joint scheme between the BoE and Her Majesty's Treasury
(HMT) to boost the incentive for banks and building societies to lend to UK households and non-financial companies. Following consultation
with Eurostat, the Funding for Lending Scheme is classified as a securities lending transaction by the Government and Bank of England.
The Treasury Bills used in Funding for Lending are assumed to be lent and therefore do not leave the economic ownership of Government,
meaning that the scheme has no impact on Government or Public Sector debt.
Bank of England Funding for Lending - D.41 Interest Both the Bank of England and participating banks and building societies pay fees to borrow the Treasury Bills. Both the fees paid to the
Fee's Bank of England by banks participating in the Funding for Lending scheme and the payments by the Bank of England to the Debt
Management Office (DMO), following advice from Eurostat, will be recorded as D.41 Interest.
Income from the sale of 4G Mobile Phone K.2 Sale of a non-financial, non-produced asset Feb-13 In February 2013 Ofcom auctioned the rights to use the 4G Mobile Phone spectrum, ultimately raising approximately £2.3bn from 5 bidders.
Licenses In line with guidance in the Eurostat Manual on Government Deficit and debt, and the treatment of the 2000 3G auction, the transaction is
treated as a K.2 sale of a non-financial, non-produced asset with the total amount recorded as government revenue (and expenditure by the
purchasing firms) in February 2013.
Carbon Reduction Commitments Energy D.29 Tax on Production Jun-12 and ongoing The Carbon Reduction Commitments Energy Efficiency Scheme is an emissions permit scheme being run by the Environment Agency. All
Efficiency Scheme large users of energy (including public sector bodies) are required to participate and purchase allowances for every tonne of CO2 they emit
at a flat rate of £12 per tonne. Eurostat rules on the EU Emissions Trading System, published in the 2013 edition of the Manual on
Government Deficit and Debt, require payments for emissions permits to be recorded as D.29 taxes on production when the permits are
surrendered. The sale of permits began in June, and permits for pollution in 2011-12 were mainly surrendered in September 2012.
Changes to cash management D.41 Dividend, F.5 Withdrawal of Equity and D.99 Capital Jan-13 onwards In November 2012, HM Treasury and the Bank of England announced changes to the cash management arrangements relating to the Bank
arrangements between the Bank of England Transfers of England Asset Purchase Facility. This results in large cash transfers from the Bank of England to HM Treasury during 2013 and from that
Asset Purchase Facility and HM Treasury point forward, and in the longer term, payments from HM Treasury to the Bank of England. The treatment of these flows is complex, and
explained in more detail in an article on the ONS website, available at http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/classifications/na-
classifications/classification-articles/changes-to-cash-management-arrangements/index.html
NRAM Customer Compensation Payments D.75 (and matching F.4 in some cases) As they occur In December 2012, the Economic Secretary to the Treasury announced that, due to administrative errors, certain customers of Northern
Rock Asset Management (NRAM) classified as part of Central Government, had been wrongly charged interest, and were to be
compensated. More information is contained in the UKAR press statement (see
http://www.ukar.co.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2012/11-12-2012?page=1&nextprev=1). Under the Consumer Credit Act 2008, any
letters and statements sent to customers had to comply with certain requirements, prescribed by the Act. If these were missing, then it would
not be legal to charge interest. Affected customers are now entitled to redress, and this is being done either through one off compensatory
payments, or for those customers who still have outstanding loan balances, NRAM are going to amend the amount of loan outstanding.
Regardless of whether a customer has an outstanding loan or not, the compensation / redress being paid by NRAM will be recorded as a
D.75 current transfer from Government to households, and for those customers who have outstanding loans, we will record a simultaneous
F.4 reduction in the government loan asset / household loan liability.
Feed in Tariffs Generation Tariff D.214 Tax on Products and D.31 Subsidy on Products (Imputed) Apr-10 Under the Energy Act 2008 and the subsequent Feed-in Tariff (Specified Maximum Capacity and Functions) Order 2010, the UK
Government introduced a regulatory regime to encourage the take up of small scale electricity generation from renewable sources - such as
solar panels, wind turbines and hydro generation. Under the scheme, households or businesses that install qualifying equipment receive a
payment from their electricity supplier under a "Generation Tariff" for every kilowatt/hour of energy they generate. This payment is received
even if all the energy generated is consumed by the household or business (any energy generated and exported back to the grid is subject
to a different payment, called the "Export Tariff"). This payment is therefore a compulsory, unrequited payment by the electricity supplier to
the generator, which given its redistributive nature, ONS deems to be economically equivalent to a tax on the suppliers and a matching
subsidy to the household or business. These flows are therefore imputed (or rerouted) through the Government's accounts, exactly as if
Government was operating a more obvious tax and subsidy regime, in line with the guidance in ESA 95 paragraph 1.39 - see
http://circa.europa.eu/irc/dsis/nfaccount/info/data/esa95/en/een00022.htm
High Income Child Benefit Charge D.51 Jan-13 Introduced by the Finance Act 2012, the High Income Child Benefit Charge is a new D.51 Tax on Incomes, introduced to raise additional
income / claw back Child Benefit paid to households including individuals with adjusted net income above £50,000. The charge is paid at
1% of the Child Benefit for every £100 of adjusted net income above £50,000, such that a household in receipt of child benefit containing
someone an adjusted net income of £60,000 will pay additional High Income Child Benefit Charge equivalent to 100% of the Child Benefit
the household receives. Households wishing to avoid the payment can choose to cease claiming the Benefit. The Charge will come into
force in January 2013.
Scottish Statutory Red Meat Levy D.21 Tax on Products Both Quality Meat Scotland and Hybu Cig Cymru - Meat Promotion Wales, added to the classification guide this month, are funded by
compulsory levies on the slaughter and export of livestock in Scotland and Wales respectively. These levies are calculated on a per head
basis, and are therefore classified as D.21 taxes on products.
Welsh Meat Levies D.21 Tax on Products
Fees payable to Ofcom to fund the Contract D.29 Taxes on Production Dec-03 The Office of The Adjudicator - Broadcast Transmission Services and the Contracts Rights Renewal Adjudicator are both bodies following
Rights Renewal Adjudicator and the Office Competition Commission investigations into the mergers of merger of transmission companies Arqiva and National Grid Wireless (NGW),
of The Adjudicator - Broadcast and ITV companies Carlton and Granada. Both mergers were permitted to go ahead subject to the agreement of a package of measures
Transmission Services (undertakings) to protect the interests of their customers including the establishment of independent Adjudicators. Both the OABTS and
CRRA are funded by Ofcom, but Ofcom recovers the costs of the adjudicator bodies by charging Arquiva and Carlton / Granada (ITV). The
payments from Arquiva and Carlton / Granada (ITV) to Ofcom are classified as D.29 taxes on production.
ATOL Protection Contributions D.21 Tax on Products Apr-08 Air Travel Trust is majority funded by the ATOL Protection Contributions (APC). The contributions are collected under the powers of the 'The
Civil Aviation (Contributions to the Air Travel Trust) Regulations 2007 (‘ATT Regulations’)'. The current rate of APC is £2.50 per passenger
booked and ATOL holders contribute to the Trust on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, dependent on the size of their licence
authorisation. As a compulsory, unrequited payment to government these transactions are classified as a D.21 tax on products.
Payments under Police Service D.29 Under sections 33-35 of the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, the Secretary of State for Transport can require individuals /
Agreements companies operating railway services to enter "Police Services Agreements", to fund the activities of the British Transport Police Authority.
ONS has judged that payments under these agreements are compulsory, unrequited payments (being not directly requited to the paying
firm), and are therefore classified as D.29 taxes on production.
Light Dues D.29 Tax on Production 1946 Light Dues are payments charged on commercial shipping calling at United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ports and are levied by the
General Lighthouse Fund to pay for the Aids to Navigation (AtoN) maintained by the British Isle's three General Lighthouse Authorities. They
are only charged to commercial vessels, and only apply to ships calling at UK ports, but clearly the AtoNs benefit leisure vessels and
commercial shipping passing through, but not calling at, UK ports. Light Dues also apply regardless of weather conditions, the sophistication
of ships' own navigation systems and the ports. ONS has concluded that these charges, which fund non-excludable public goods, should be
classified as D.29 taxes on production, rather than sales.

A465 MIM Project (PPP) Welsh Government 28-Oct-20 The ONS has completed an assessment of the A465 Heads of the Valleys dualling Abergavenny to Hirwaun road project using the Welsh
Mutual Investment Model (MIM). The project includes the construction of Section 5 (Dowlais to A470) and Section 6 (A470 to Hirwaun)
following a competitive tendering process. The project is expected to be completed in 2025.
Following the assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• the private sector development consortium is comprised of two private sector partners and DBW Investments (MIMS) Ltd, the latter of
which is classified to the central government subsector (S.1311). The companies created to provide this project are private sector-controlled
and include Future Valleys Hold Co Ltd, which is the project's main shareholder, and Future Valleys Project Co Ltd which designs, builds
and maintains the assets in this project. These project companies are institutional units as they have the relevant characteristics as defined
in SNA 2008, 3.52 and ESA 2010, 2.12. They have features of special purpose entities as they were created to fulfil a narrow, specific
objective as defined in SNA 2008, 4.55 and ESA 2010, 2.17 to 2.20, and also have features of holding companies as described in ESA
2010, 2.14 (b). They are considered to be market bodies (ESA 2010, 20.25) as they were formed after a competitive tendering process with
other private sector companies on commercial terms, and only hold financial assets and liabilities associated with this project. They are
therefore classified to the captive financial institutions and money lenders subsector (S.127) in accordance also with ESA 2010, 2.99 (c.);
the classification of Future Valleys Hold Co Ltd is with effect from 3 September 2020, and the classification of Future Valleys Project Co Ltd
is with effect from 4 September 2020, the dates they were incorporated.
• The contract issued under this MIM project model should be considered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) in accordance with the
definitions in ESA 2010, 15.41 and 20.276 to 20.290, and also in MGDD 2019, Chapter 6.4.
• The assets linked to this arrangement should be recorded on the private sector partner's balance sheet. This is because almost all of the
risks and rewards in this PPP arrangement rest with the private partner (the government provides minority finance, is not acting as a
significant guarantor, has minority shareholding, and can only appoint one Director to the shared board of the project companies).
This project classification is effective from 28 October 2020, the date the contract was signed.

Lisburn Primary Community Care Centre North

Northern Ireland Executive 18-Oct-18 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Lisburn Primary Community Care Centre NI 3PD (third part developer) project. The project
will include the construction of healthcare facilities under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Northern Ireland
Transforming Your Care Programme, and will be built on the Lagan Valley Hospital site owned by South Eastern Health and Social Care
Trust (the Trust). Following assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• the private sector development consortium is comprised of three private sector partners. The SPVs for this project are private sector-
controlled institutional units and include GPG O’Hare (Lisburn) Holdings Ltd, which is the project's main shareholder; GPG O’Hare (Lisburn)
Ltd which designs, builds, finances and maintains the assets in the 3PD project; and Lisburn Pharma Ltd which is a separate commercial
SPV, established to manage the lease agreement between the Trust and two of the private sector partners.
• The contract issued under this 3PD project model should be considered as a PPP in accordance with the definitions in ESA 2010
paragraphs 15.41 and 20.276-20.290, and also in MGDD 2016 Part VI.4.

the health and care needs of patients. These boards were formed following the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 being
passed in February 2014 and coming into force on 1 April 2016. ONS assessed the Integration Joint Boards in accordance with
internationally agreed rules in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and
Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016). In assessing the Integration Joint Boards, ONS took into account ESA 2010 paragraph 2.12 which details the
actions an institutional unit should be able to take in order to display decision-making autonomy. ONS identified that Integration Joint Boards
could not incur liabilities on their own behalf, meaning they do not meet all of the criteria to be considered to be institutional units in their own
right. Instead, Integration Joint Boards were seen to exist as agents for the controlling NHS Boards and local authorities, who are
institutional units in their own right.
Therefore, Scottish Integration Joint Boards will not be added to the Public Sector Classification Guide as they are not institutional units
under ESA 2010.
Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary Scottish Government 11-Mar-15 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI) project under the rules laid out in the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014). This
project was classified under MGDD 2014 as the project was signed before the updated MGDD 2016 guidelines were published. The project
was established to build the new DGRI under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Non-Profit Distributing Programme.
Following assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• High Wood Health (Project Co) Ltd, High Wood Health (HoldCo) Ltd and High Wood Health (Finance Co) plc. should together be
considered as one private sector controlled institutional unit within the private captive financial institutions and money lender subsector
(S.12702). This was due to the contractual relationships and sharing of directors between the three units.
• The contract issued under this project should be considered a PPP in accordance with the definitions in ESA 2010 paragraphs 15.41 and
20.276-20.290 and also in MGDD 2014 Part VI.4.
• The assets linked to this arrangement should be recorded on the public sector’s balance sheet as certain rewards associated with
economic ownership of the asset accrue to government.
Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children Scottish Government 13-Feb-15 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children (RHSCI) project under the rules laid out in the
European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014). This
project was classified under MGDD 2014 as the project was signed before the updated MGDD 2016 guidelines were published. The project
was established to build the new RHSCI under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Non-Profit Distributing Programme.
Following assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• IHS Lothian Ltd (Project Co) and IHS Lothian Holdings Ltd should together be considered as one private sector controlled institutional unit
within the private captive financial institutions and money lender subsector (S.12702). This was due to the contractual relationships and
sharing of directors between the two units.
Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service Scottish Government 8-Oct-15 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) centre of excellence project under the
(SNBTS) rules laid out in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014
(MGDD 2014). This project was classified under MGDD 2014 as the project was signed before the updated MGDD 2016 guidelines were
published. The project was established to build the new SNBTS centre of excellence under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up
through the Non-Profit Distributing Programme. Following assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• Seacole National Centre Ltd (Project Co) and Seacole National Centre (Holding) Ltd should together be considered as one private sector
controlled institutional unit within the private captive financial institutions and money lender subsector (S.12702). This was due to the
contractual relationships and sharing of directors between the two units.
Lothian Bundle hub DBFM (Design, Build, Scottish Government 1-Apr-16 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Lothian Bundle hub DBFM (Design, Build, Finance and Maintain) project under the rules laid
Finance and Maintain) project out in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2016 (MGDD 2016)
guidelines, as this project was signed on 1 April 2016. This project was established to construct 3 new partnership centres to connect
health, social care and council services under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Scottish Hub Programme. They will
be built in Firrhill, North West Edinburgh (Muirhouse) and Blackburn in West Lothian. Following assessment, ONS reached the following
conclusions:
• Space Scotland Ltd, the private sector development partner for this project is a private sector controlled institutional unit and is a holding
company. As such it should be recorded to the private captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.12702) subsector.
• The Hub Community Foundation, which is part of the project structure, was classified in July 2016 as a private institutional unit,
incorporated with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and should be recorded as a non-profit institution serving households (S.15).
• LBP DBFM HoldCo and LBP DBFM Co have been set up as special purpose vehicles. LBP DBFM HoldCo is the project's main
shareholder while LBP DBFM Co designs, builds, finances and maintains the assets in the hub project. As LBP DBFM Co is 100 per cent
owned by LBP DBFM HoldCo, their classification was, on balance, considered to be a single private sector controlled institutional unit and
should be recorded to the private captive financial institutions and money lender (S.12702) subsector.
• The contract issued under this hub project should be considered a PPP in accordance with the definitions in ESA 2010 paragraphs 15.41
and 20.276-20.290 and also in MGDD 2016 Part VI.4.
• The assets linked to this arrangement should be recorded on the private sector partner's balance sheet. This is because the public sector
party receives no gains as a result of refinancing, more generally almost all of the risk and rewards in the PPP arrangement rest with the
private partner. Additionally, and there is no "rebate" of proceeds to government nor is government providing the majority of the finance or
acting as a significant guarantor.
Ayr Academy hub DBFM project Scottish Government 1-Aug-16 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Ayr Academy hub DBFM (Design, Build, Finance and Maintain) project under the rules laid
out in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt 2014 (MGDD 2014).
This project was classified under MGDD 2014 as the project was signed before the updated MGDD 2016 guidelines were published. This
project was established to build the new Ayr Academy under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), set up through the Scottish Hub
Programme. Following assessment, ONS reached the following conclusions:
• Alliance Community Partnership Ltd, the private sector development partner for this project is a private sector controlled institutional unit
and is a holding company. As such it should be recorded to the private captive financial institutions and money lenders (S.12702) subsector.
• The Hub Community Foundation, established to invest in the equity and subordinated debt of hub DBFM projects, is a private institutional
unit, incorporated with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and should be recorded as a non-profit institution serving households
(S.15).
• Ayr Hold Co and Ayr DBFM Co have been set up as special purpose vehicles. Ayr HoldCo is the project's main shareholder while Ayr
DBFM Co designs, builds, finance and maintains the assets in the hub project. As Ayr DBFM Co is 100 per cent owned by Ayr Hold Co,
their classification was, on balance, considered to be a single private sector controlled institutional unit and should be recorded to the private
captive financial institutions and money lender (S.12702) subsector.
• The contract issued under this hub project should be considered a PPP in accordance with the definitions in ESA 2010 paragraphs 15.41
and 20.276-20.290 and also in MGDD 2014 Part VI.4.
risk and rewards in the PPP arrangement rest with the private partner and there is no "rebate" of proceeds to government nor is government
providing the majority of the finance or acting as a significant guarantor.
Social Security Funds (SSF) subsector In all periods The ONS has completed an assessment of whether the rules laid out in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) require that a
(S.1314) 'Social Security Funds' sub-sector should be delimited separately from the existing Central Government and Local Government sub-sectors
presented in the United Kingdom (UK) National Accounts and Public Sector Finances. In order to establish this, the Great Britain National
Insurance Fund and the Northern Ireland National Insurance Fund were assessed. The conclusion was that these Funds were not
institutional units as defined in ESA 2010 and therefore would continue to be classified with their parent bodies in the Central Government
sub-sector (S.1311). As a result, the Social Security Funds sub-sector, as defined in ESA 2010, does not currently exist in the UK; as such,
there will be no separate presentation of Social Security Funds in ONS economic statistics.

Energy Price Guarantee D.31 Subsidies on products Saturday, October 1, 2022 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG), which is part of a package of
support to assist households with their energy bills, following a sharp rise in the price of electricity and gas. In
accordance with the international statistical guidance, the assessment considered that the EPG is not included
within the remit of an established general social policy, and the background of the creation of the scheme is
not linked, for example, to low-income considerations. The EPG is widely available and was therefore not
considered to be a social transfer in kind. The assessment acknowledged that the EPG provides a discount on
the unit price of electricity and gas, and is paid to energy suppliers rather than to households. The assessment
determined the intention of this scheme is to limit the unit cost of electricity and gas to households. The total
amount that households will pay varies directly in line with the volume of energy households consume.
Therefore, the scheme payments are classified as Subsidies on products (D.31) from the central government
subsector (S.1311) to energy suppliers (in SICs 35.14 and 35.23) in the public non-financial corporations
subsector (S.11001) and the private non-financial corporations subsector (S.11002). This is effective for a six-
month period from 1 October 2022. This is consistent with the guidance in SNA 2008, 7.100 and ESA 2010,
4.33 as the difference between a specified market price and the market price paid by a buyer. This
classification applies to households in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, due to the similarities in both
schemes.
Energy Bill Relief Scheme D.31 Subsidies on products Saturday, October 1, 2022 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBRS), which is part of a package
of support to assist businesses and other non-domestic consumers with their energy bills, following a sharp
rise in the price of electricity and gas. The assessment acknowledged that the EBRS provides a discount on
the unit price of electricity and gas, and is paid to energy suppliers rather than businesses and non-domestic
consumers. The assessment therefore determined that as the government has established a base line
government supported price per megawatt hour for electricity and for gas, the scheme payments are classified
as Subsidies on products (D.31) from the central government subsector (S.1311) to energy suppliers (in SICs
35.14 and 35.23) in the public non-financial corporations subsector (S.11001) and the private non-financial
corporations subsector (S.11002). This is effective for a six-month period from 1 October 2022. This is
consistent with the guidance in SNA 2008, 7.100 and ESA 2010, 4.33 as the difference between a specified
market price and the market price paid by a buyer. This classification applies to businesses and non-domestic
consumers in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, due to the similarities in both schemes.
Alternative Fuel Payment (Domestic) D.759 Other miscellanous current transfer Saturday, October 1, 2022 The ONS has completed an assessment of the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP), which is part of a package of
support to assist UK households with their energy bills, following a sharp rise in the price of electricity and gas.
The scheme involves a one-off payment of £100 to households which do not use mains gas for heating. In
accordance with the international statistical guidance, the assessment considered that the AFP (Domestic) is
not included within the remit of an established general social policy, and the background of the creation of the
scheme is not linked, for example, to low-income considerations, nor to the provision of goods to individual
beneficiaries. The AFP (Domestic) is widely available and was therefore not considered to be a social transfer
in kind. The assessment acknowledged that the AFP (Domestic) is a fixed amount per household and entirely
unrelated to the quantity or price of the energy provided to any given customer. Energy companies are acting
as an agent for government to supply the AFP payments to eligible customers, and the AFP was therefore not
considered to be a subsidy from government to energy suppliers. The assessment therefore determined that
as the intention of this scheme is to benefit households, to increase their income to help them to meet their
energy payments over the coming winter period, the scheme payments are classified as an Other
miscellaneous current transfer (D.759) from the central government subsector (S.1311) to the households
sector (S.14), beginning from 1 October 2022. This is consistent with the guidance in SNA 2008, 8.110 and
ESA 2010, 4.138 (h) ‘as a current transfer from government to households in their capacity as consumers, if
not recorded as social benefits’. This is also consistent with the precedent set by the classification of the
Energy Bills Support Scheme.
