Scottish Household Survey (2007 - Quarter 3)
This is the latest in a series of quarterly Statistics Publication Notices which announces the availability of the Scottish Household Survey for a particular quarter.

In practice, this means that the SHS for this quarter can be used to answer questions to inform policy from people within and outwith the Scottish Government.
