§ Mr. HowardThere have been no major studies confined to the areas highlighted. However, each year, a number of research projects and surveys are conducted on the basis of nationally representative samples. Householders or other persons in the areas mentioned might have been included in these. The data are often confidential to the survey company, so it is not always possible to identify which areas have been surveyed.
