<p>The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.</p><p>Letter from Glen Watson, dated October 2013:</p><p>As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking:</p><p>(i) What recent estimate has been made of the number of workers in the rail industry who are employed on zero hours contracts. (171220); and</p><p>(ii) What recent estimate has been made of the number of workers in the shipping industry who are employed on zero hours contracts. (171223)</p><p>The requested information is not available. Information regarding people working on zero hours contracts is available from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). However, full estimates of the total number of people in employment on such contracts are not available from this source. This is, in part, due to reporting error as respondents may fail to identify their type of employment contract correctly. This prevents reliable estimates being produced for individual industry sectors.</p>
