From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard by Eurostat for referencing the subdivisions of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for statistical purposes. The NUTS code for the UK is UK and there are 12 first level regions. These are Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland as well as 9 regions in England. The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union (EU). A hierarchy of three levels is established by Eurostat. The sub-structure corresponds to administrative divisions within the country. Formerly, the further NUTS divisions IV and V existed; these have now been replaced by Local Administrative Units (LAU-1 and LAU-2 respectively). Between 1994 and 2011, the regions had an administrative role in the implementation of UK Government policy. The regions also formed the basis for the constituencies for elections to the European Parliament from 1999 up to 2019.
