HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 c218W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he proposes to include one-parent families in the family expenditure survey.

Mr. Bryan

All types of private households in the United Kingdom are included in the Family Expenditure Survey. The sample is designed so that each household has an equal chance of selection. In 1969, for example, 103 households with only one adult and one or more dependent children took part in the survey.
