Representative
About
The ONS is keen to establish a long term, small area geography policy which will be used for Census 2011 and Neighbourhood Statistics. The aim is to support the production of coherent and useful data that can be used with confidence by all organisations.
The consultation paper is available online. This describes all policy proposals, the background to them, and a number of attendant issues. Please take the time to get involved by responding to the survey and joining in the debate around the blog posts.

Workplace Population Data

Workplace Population Data is the 'gold standard' for Development Economists. We happily forego detail at small area in order to get detailed SIC and SOC data at higher geographies. Nick Stripe's comment about disclosure strikes a real chord. Given that SuperCubes are an expected deliverable for the 2011 output may I suggest that a methodolgy is developed to enable data at higher level geographies but to automatically kill any disclosive requests from the cube at disclosive small geographies.
