Travel-to-work Areas

HC Deb 18 March 2002 vol 382 c13W

Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of residents of each travel-to-work area work outside that area. [43244]

Ruth Kelly

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.

Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Turner dated 18 March 2002: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question about travel-to-work-areas. (43244) The Labour Force Survey (LFS) provides estimates of employment rates according to the travel-to-work-areas (TTWA) in which people are resident. Although information about people's workplace is also available from the LFS, this could only be analysed by TTWA at disproportionate cost.
