Full Description:

In the full NUTS system NUTS3 units were part of a hierarchy including NUTS1 and NUTS2, but we treat them as directly parts of Government Regions, which exactly correspond to NUTS1. We include NUTS3 units in Vision of Britain only to support a particular dataset created by the ESRC-funded research project "Levelling Up Labour Supply", directed by Professor Donald Houston (University of Birmingham).
