§ Ruth KellyThe information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
Letter from Mr. Len Cook to Mr. Andrew Turner, dated 21 March 2002:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about travel-to-work-areas. (45010)The Labour Force Survey (LFS) provides estimates of employment rates according to the travel-to-work-area (TTWA) in which people are resident. Although information about people's workplace is available from the LFS also, this could only be analysed by TTWA at disproportionate cost.
