22 All material data gathered and collected throughout the face-to-face interview research process was held in databases within CGA's systems and individual's computers. The systems had several layers of security that apply to all data held by CGA

23 CGA Strategy research work undertaken for BIS Committee Inquiry 2011

24 Database information covered hotels of 10 rooms or less. This group was subsequently filtered through the recruitment process to only interview hotels with 5 rooms or less.

25 There are slight variations between CGA and BBPA pub numbers due to differences in methodology. CGA uses trading data and BBPA uses member submission data.

26 A summary of the challenges and a full chronology of the whole research programme can be found in Annex 2.

27 Using BBPA pub numbers the % of MRO eligible pubs is based on the number of leased/ tenanted pubs owned by Pub Companies with +500 outlets against the total number of Scottish pubs

28 CGA definition is based on that used by the BIS Pub Co & Tenants Consultation document April 2013

38 The additional information collected as "free format" covered a number of topic study areas. These were namely company accounts, SCORFA benefits, retail selling prices, product purchase prices and general comment on the research programme and area of study submitted by the interviewees. It was therefore necessary to conduct a preliminary analysis of each material dataset and design a framework to capture the data for the purpose of analysis.
