Non-departmental Public Bodies

Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) charitable and (b) independent bodies have been reclassified by the Office for National Statistics as non-departmental public bodies in each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [107040]

John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 4 December 2006:

As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning the reclassification of charitable and independent bodies as non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) in each year since 1997. 107040

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) classifies institutional units for national accounts purposes. These are listed in the Sector Classification Guide published on the National Statistics website. The information used to answer your question has been obtained from updates to the Sector Classification Guide.

You should note that although ONS will seek to identify where an entity is an NDPB within the Sector Classification Guide, designation as an NDPB is the responsibility of Cabinet Office. Further, although in theory it is possible to identify registered charities, they are not separately identified for national accounts purposes and so are not identified as charities in the list. Similarly the term ‘independent’ is not defined. However, in order to provide you with some information the term independent has been interpreted to include those bodies either not previously controlled by central government or not previously identified as being controlled by central government.

I am placing in the House of Commons Library, a list of bodies. Those listed include all those bodies first separately identified and classified to the central government sector for national accounts purposes. Those entities which have been reclassified to the central government sector from another national accounts sector are easily identified as they have an entry in the final column.

The current national accounting framework is described in the European System of Accounts 1995 and was introduced in the UK in September 1998. As a result no information is available on the reclassification of institutional units to the central government sector before this date.

4 Dec 2006 : Column 208W

Please consult the Sector Classification Guide (weblink below) to confirm the current national accounts classification of the bodies on the attached list or to obtain a full list of those bodies classified as central government.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=7163

ONS has responsibility for the production of the UK National Accounts in line with the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95). The National Accounts provides a framework for describing what is happening in national economies. Within these accounts all institutional units operating within an economy are classified to an institutional sector. The domestic institutional sectors are as follows:

Non-Financial Corporations

Financial Corporations

General Government

Households

Non-Profit Institutions serving Households

UK registered charities, or registered charities trading subsidiaries, can be classified within a number of sectors: non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government or non-profit institutions serving households.

The central government sector is a sub-sector of general government and will include institutional units which Cabinet Office designate as NDPBs.
