§ Mr. Crawfordasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report his most recent estimates of the ownership, in per capita terms, of colour television sets, deep freezers, and refrigerators in Scotland and in the regions of England.
§ Mr. BoothThe information in the table below is from the Family Expenditure Survey, and is for the two years 1972 and 1973 taken together in order to reduce sampling variation. Estimates are not available for the ownership of colour television, or for deep freezers, separately. The estimates relate to households with the goods, as the coverage of the survey does not enable true per capita estimates to be made.
