In the 2003 version, North Eastern Scotland (which then included part of Moray) was coded UKM1, and Highlands and Islands was coded UKM4.

The current NUTS level 1 codes start with UKC rather than UK1 because the new list reflected the revised regions of England and local government changes throughout the UK; UK1-UKB had been used for the 11 regions in the previous coding system.

Local administrative units

Main article: Local administrative unit

Below the NUTS levels, the two LAU (Local Administrative Units) levels are:

Level Subdivisions #
LAU 1 Lower tier authorities (districts) or individual unitary authorities (England and Wales);
Individual unitary authorities or LECs (or parts thereof) (Scotland);
Districts (Northern Ireland)		 443
LAU 2 Wards (or parts thereof) 10664

The two LAU levels are maintained by the UK Office for National Statistics within the ONS coding system.
