As part of further quality assurance, we have identified some notable revisions to growth in the services industries between quarter 4 1997 and quarter 1 1998. These revisions have a particularly large impact on section K, which covers the financial and insurance industries. We are currently investigating to validate these revisions and will update this note when additional information is available. In the meantime we advise that users treat data contained within the low level aggregates spreadsheet prior to 1998 with caution.
It should be stressed that any further revision following our investigation will only impact on the industry breakdown of GDP and not the top level estimates.
