Letter from Tim Holt to Mr. Kevin McNamara, dated 21 May 1997:
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has asked me to reply as the Director of the Office for National Statistics to your recent question on the number of households in Hull and Kingston upon Hull North without a wage earner.Estimates of non-pensioner households with no-one in employment are available from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) at national and regional level. They are also available for counties, except a few for which the numbers are not sufficiently reliable.No information on households or families is available from the LFS below county level because the analyses would not be sufficiently reliable.
