Quarterly Labour Force Survey: Special Licence Access list of datasets
| Users should obtain the data and documentation using the tables below.
Labour Force Survey (LFS) Reweighting Project 2009:
In 2009, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) undertook a reweighting project, whereby LFS data were reweighted using population estimates for 2009. As a result, reweighted editions of QLFS Special Licence datasets from the July-September 2006 quarter onwards have been deposited at the UK Data Archive. Users should note that quarters prior to July-September 2006 will remain weighted to the 2007-2008 population figures used for the previous LFS reweighting project conducted in 2007. Further information about the 2009 reweighting project is included in the documentation for the updated datasets. |

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