PART 1 BACKGROU~ AND PROCEDURES
1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY
There is a vital need for regular and related information about people and theirliving conditions and behaviour so that the government can monitor and ●valuate theservices it provides and plan for future service provision end social policy.
The General Household Survey ie designed for this purpose. It provides thegovernment with continuing information about the major eocial fields of PopulationHousing, Employment, Education, Health and Income. Seceuae all theee topics arecovered in one survey, it ie possible to examine not only each topic separately butalso the effeet of each on the othera. Clearly a person’a education relates totheir employment, their employment to their income, income to housing, health andfamily size.
The General Household Survey la unique in providing information about a number ofsocial fields and their Inter-relationshipa, for although department produce theirown information and commiaaion their own atudiea, they do ao in isolation, and onedepartment‘a figures ara not eaaily related to another’a. Furthermore, they tendto collect information about the services they provide but little about the kindaof people who uae them. The Cenaua, of course, providea ragular and relatedinformation, but its scope la limitad and the collection takes place only everyten yeara, which ia too infrequent for many purpoaea. Ae this survey, like therest of our surveys, la conducted on a voluntary baais, in the long run it may bepossible to regard it aa not only an economic but also a democratic alternative toaaking for more information in compulsory cenauaea.
The topics mentioned above form what we have callad the core material of thesurvey. These core topics will remain, although the detailed questioning maychange over time. In addition, naw topics that would not warrant a survey in theirown right can be included.for limited perioda of tima.
2. THE SAKFLE
Each year we cell at about 13,000 addreaaea taken at regular incervala, until 1984from the Electoral Ragiater, but now from the Peat Office’s list of addraaaea, thePoatcode Mdraaa File (PAF). At theaa addreaaea we wish to interview ●ll personaaged 16 or over living in private houeeholda.
The sample la spread over England, Scotland ●nd Walea in such a way thatdifferent kinda of araaa and households are repreaentad. Similar]y, fieldwork laspread over ~ha whole year to maka sure that the aampla la representative of alltimes of the yaar ●o that tha survey can maaaure, for example, ●eaaonal changea inaliploymerrt,uae of haalth aervicea etc.

The PAF is the Post Office’s list of addresses (or ‘deliverypoints’, as theycall them) and postcodes for Great Britain. It ie a good sampling frame inthat it is as nearly as pnssible a complete list of addresses snd, being heldon computer tspes, it is relatively easy to use for drawing a sample. Theaddresaes on your list have been selected at random from tha ‘small user’Postcode Address File, that is the file of delivery points which receive fewerthan 25 articlea of mail per day, By using only the small user file we hopeto avoid sampling large institutionsand buainesaes. However, some amal1businesses or commercial premises may be sampled and appear on your addresslist. Therefore you may find a slightly higher proportion of ineligibleaddreaaea than in an Electoral Register ssmple, particularly in quotaa incity centres where shops could be sampled (Note, howaver, that you must cal1at all the sampled addreasas to check for residential accommodation).

MAIN BODY OF LIST
The information in the main body of the address list is presented in 8 columns.
1. Md.Serial No.
2. Address
3. (PostalOfstrict)
4. Postcode
5. Mo(Multi-OccupancyIndicator)
6. LA (LocalAuthority
7. W (Ward)
8. Grid Raf
This ie the Z-digit address number (often called the serialnumber). It should be entered in the ‘ADD’ box on alldocuments.
Normally thie will be the full postal addreas. Very 0cca8i0nally,the house name or number will be omitted and replaced by an●steriak. If no extra information has been written in pleasetelephone Sampling for instructions.
At some addresses on the list you will see the words ‘DIVIDEDADDRESS - PARTS LISTSD ON THE PAF.‘ See Section 5 ‘DIVIDEDADDRESSES’ (page 10) for how to deal with these.
There la no heading to this column which shows the peat.eldistrictof the sampled addreas. This information is not alwaya given onthe PAF, and therefore on many addresa lists it appears onlyintermittently. Note that ●ntries in this column are linked onlyto the addresa on that line (eg on the specimen addreaa list‘Canwick’ applies on]y to 23-25 Long Row and not to any otheraddress on the list).
This columm lists the postcode (up to ? character) for eachsampled addresa.
If an entry appears in this column it ie an indication that theaddress may be multi-occupied, ie more than one household may beliving there. The number in the column should be treated only as arough guide to the number of households you may expect to find atthe addreaa. There is no guarantee that this number ie correcc,and you will still have to call at the address and identify thenumber of households living there (see section 6 ‘Multi-houeeholdaddresses’, page 11).
This ia the Local Authority code number on the PAF and is convertedinto the LA name at the bottom left of the sheet.
This gives a code number for the electoral ward in which eachaddreas ia located (for office use only).
This gives the grid reference of the firat addrean in the postcodeshared by the eampled addrese. There are, on average, 17 addreaeeein each postcode ●o although the grid reference may not be theprecisa one for the ●ampled addreea, it will only be in anunusually widespread postcode erea thet the sampled addreaa is farfrcm the grid reference. (See page 5 for how to uae the gridreference.)
Most quotaa, ie 23 addreeaes, ehould fit onto one page of A3 eize computerprint-out. However, if the quota containa a number of ‘dividad ●ddreaeea’ it maycehtinue onto a second or even a third page. If the quota covers mora than onepoatel sector the sampled addreaaes in each sector will be printed on a ●eparate*e.
If you have ●ny difficulty in interpreting the computer listing or in finding an●ddreaa (after folloting the recommended procedure) pleaae telephone Sampling forfurther information (Ext 2354). Make sure ycw heve the addrees to hand whent l h i !

3.2 using grid reference on PAF samplea+7 ,“
Al1 PAF addreeees‘h%. ●n Ordnagce %urvey grid reference atteched to them. This iprinted out on your ●ddress‘list. Ttky,~re useful in planning your work in rural●reas, particularly as addressea do n,o,tglways fall within the poet town given onthe addreaa list.
You need an Ordnanca Survey map of your area, which is fairly large-scale .1 : 50,000 or 1 : 63,000 is best.
The first 5 figures of the grid reference given the reference along the bottom ofthe map. The second 5 figures the ref●rence up tha aide of tha map. (See exampleoverleap.) ..
....
A word of caution: not all the grid references will be completely accurate.There may be occasional errora in them and since the reference is for the firstaddreee in the post-code containing the sampled addrees, rather than the specificsampled address, it la a guidelto the locality of your sampled address rather thanan accurate location. Howevar, we understand that 90% of addresaes are within 400metrea of the grid ref●renced address.-
Grid references may still leave you unable to find some rural addreaaea and theyare not aa useful ‘inurban areas, whera a street map would be ❑ore ueeful. If youstill hava problems locating an addreaa, please refer to saction 4.2‘Mdresses difficult to find’ (page 9).

3.4 Serial Number Labels
As well as receiving an address label for each addreas, you will receive 184 serialnumber labels for your quota. Each 1abel has the region, quarter and area numbercorresponding to the numbers on your address list. The labela are to be used ons]] documents. If you look at the front page of all the documents (schedules andfield) you till notice a box headed RegionlQtrlAreawith the instruction ‘sticklabel’ next to it. Stick one label on each of these boxes!

The address serial and household numbers will still need to be written in for eachindividual household In the Add/H’Hld box.
The number of labels should cover most ordinsry quotaa but there may be exceptionalquotas of large households which could mean you run out of aerial number 1abels.In these cases please vrite in the necessary information (region, quarter and areanumbers) in the box separating the numbers with a slash /.
3.5 Rating Office
Rating information is ~ longer required for addresses in Scotland.
4 PRoCEDURI FOR CONTACTING QUOTA
4.1 Your quota will consist of 23 addresses for each calendar month. Each quotashould be completed within a maximum of 11 days, ie 11 journeys to and from thearea within the calendar month.
Because of this limitation on the number of days you are permitted to work, we donot require you to deal with a set number of addresaes per quota week. We do,however, expect you, as a general rule, to spread your working daya over the fieldperiod so that you maximiee the chances of gaining co-operation and achieve areasonably even flow of work over the month. (For this reason work is allocated tointerviewers who are available for at least 3 weeks of the quota period.)
To ensure that you complete your work within the permitted number of days tillrequire careful planning. Points you may find useful to bear in mind are:
- you do not have to deal with addresses in serial number order
- group your addreases and call on them in the order that is moateconomical
- try to contact all addressea early in the quota ao that you canadjust your work plans to allow for thosa who are away/difficultto contact etc.
If you are having any problems in completing your quota, pleaae contact theregional office immediately. Pleaae note, howaver, that extensions to the quotaperiod or to the permitted number of working days till be allowed only in varyexceptional circumstances,and prior permission for this must always be obtained.

4.2 Mdresses difficult to find
The PAF address list does not supply names of occupiers of ●ach address. Namesfrom the Electoral Ragister sample were often used in rural ●reaa to help locateobecure addreaeea. We want you to make the best use of your time in trying to1ocate vague or obecure addresses. Experience on the Labour Force Survey has ehothat the most ●ffective ❑ethods of locating difficult addressea were:
1. Asking local people
2. Aeking at local Post Office or Sorting Office
3. Asking police.
If after consulting maps, visiting the area and enquiring locally you still cannolocate an addrees,-there are two alternatives:
1. Telephone Sampling (2354) who ray be able to provide ●xtra information●ither from the PAF or from the Electoral Register
2. Check the addresa on the Electoral Register, to obtain a surname,yourself.
You should decide which is cheaper. Obviously if locating an odd addreaa in theElectoral Register involves a long journey, parking expenaea ●tc, it would bebetter to telephone HQ. If, however, you have several obscure addresaea and theris a copy of the Electoral Register locally, it would probably be cheaper for youto check this yourself. Please note this la only permiaaible when all other❑ethods have been ●xhausted and it should only be necessary in a very small numbeof caeea in “mral areaa. Make a note of any nuch calla on your claims form. SomSub Peat Offices have a copy of the Electoral Register to hand ●nd may be willingto help you or you will find a copy in the local library.
4.3 Qunta weeks
Although there la no requirement for you to deal with a set number of addresses peweek we do wish to maintain an ●ven flow of work. To monitor the ●ffects ofchanging co PAF and to calendar months, we have divided ●ach month into four part(along FES lines) - the dates are given below. For ●ase of ref●rence we wil1continue to cell these periode quota ‘weeks’ but this la just for administrativepurpoaea and wI]1 enable you to ●nter the ‘week number‘ on your deapatch note usinthe datea given in the list below.
Quota “week’ All months ●xcept February February
1 Days 1st to 7th Inclueivc Ist to 7th2
,, 8th to 15th ‘“3
8th to 14th““ 16th to’ 23rd “
415th to 21at
“ 24th to end of month 22nd to end
Thus all work carried out in the period of lat to 7th of the month would bereturned in one deapatch for quota week 1. You should return work promptly at theand of each quota ‘week’ (ie four deepatchee per mnth). If you do not work in anone quota ‘week’,Y~ should still mend in a waekly return rotatingthat no work wedone. If you find you cannot work for 2 of the quota weeks, you must inform theRegional Office immediately (any change in your ●vailability should have beennotified to allocation).

5. NON-DIVIDED AND DIVIDED ADDRSSSES
5.1 Most addresses are listed only once on your address lfat; these arenon-divided addresses. (See addreas-serial nos: 01, 02, 04, 05, 07, 09 and 10nn your example addreas list). A few addresses have more than one part listedon the PAF; these are divided addreeses. (See address serial no.: 03, 06and 08 on your example address list). However, the PAF la not necessarilyyccnnpleteao one or more parts of the addresa IMY not be listed. This canhappen at both non-divided addreases and divided addressee. Fnr example, at adivided addreas the PAF may show a gap in a sequence of numbers (eg in a blockof 5 flats where only flats 1, 3 and 4 are listed) or there is a part with analpha suffix that is nnt listed (eg ’69 Main Street’ and ’69B Main Street’ arelisted but ’69A Main Street’ la nnt).
Clearly we wish to eneure that those parta of an addreas that are not listedon the PAF are given a chance of selection, but we also want to ensure thatthose parta that appear on the PAF do not get a further chance of selection.This is the purpose nf the ‘DIVIDEDADDRESS’ procedure.
5.2 Non-divided addresses
In most caaes there will be only one househnld at the sddress which you shouldattempt to interview. However, there are twn exceptions.
i. You may find more than one household at the address on theaddress list. Aa in previous years you should list all such house-holds on the form provided and follow the appropriate multi-house-hold procedure to determine which households to interview. In Englandand Wales you should always use the concealed Multi-householdprocedure. In Scotland you shnuld use the concealed Multi-householdprocedure unless the address has a Multi-occupancy Indicator of 3 ormere in which caae the Pre-sampled Multi-household prncedure should beused.
ii.as thelist.serial
You may find a separate flat or building with the same numberaddress on your address list but not listed on your addresaFor example when you go to ‘7 Mandella Road‘ (ace addressno. 01 on your example address list) you find:
,rl nallcle,ls m“aa
Sampling for further
‘Upper flat, 7 Msndella Road’ and ‘7A “--’-”- ‘--2’
Then, in these cases, you should telephoneinatructiona.
5.3 Divided addresses
There are two types of ‘DividedAddress’ procedures
i. BOXED PART AND ANY PARTS NOT LISTED ON AODRBSS LIST
(See address aerial no. 06 on your example address list)
ii. BOXED PART ONLY
(See address aerial noe. 03 and 08 on your example addresa list)
\-b
Please
5.4
If you2354).
11
be careful to follow the instructions for each procedure ae given below.
i. Boxed part and any parte not listed on addreee list
Check first to see if there are any unlieted perts at the addrees. For●xample, if you find a Flat 2, Flat 4 and Flat 5 at 59 Red Lion Streetaa well (eee addrees eerial no. 06) you should list the household(a)at ‘59’, Red Lion Street’ and the household(e) at the three f~ata(Flata 2, 4 and 5) which were not listed on your addreae list.Then follow the appropriate multi-household procedure to determinewhich houaeholda ehould be interviewed.
If there a~e no unlisted parts of the addrese then you should attempt tointervifsiat the addreaa in the boxed part. If you find more than onehoueehold at the addreaa in the boxed part you should follow theappropriate multi‘household procedure.
ii. Boxed part only
Here you should not check to aee if there are any unlisted parte at theaddresa. Where ~re la only one household at the addreaa in the boxedpart, interview that household. If you find more than one household atthe address in the boxed part you should follow the appropriate multi-household procedure.
Queries
have any queries please contact Nic Croll (ext. 2347) or Andy Balcon (ext.
6. NULTI-HOIJSEHOLDADDRESSES
6.1 Most eamuled addresaee will contain just one household, but eometimee you macome acrosa a multi-household addrees. This may occur, for example, when thesampled addreas is divided into flata which are not separately listed on the PAF.About 2% of all addreeeea are multi-occupied but the proportion will be much highein Scotland and in large cities.
The PAF identifies some prcbble multi-household addreaeee; theee are indicated onthe addrees list in the colum headed ‘MO’ (Multi-occupancyindicator). However,not 611 nndti-household addreaaea can be identified in this way aa some addressesMY contain more than one household even though the MO column la blank. Aleo, theMO indicater may differ frcm the actual number of houaeholda at the addreaa.
EttXAND AND WALES
In ENOLAWO and WALESYOU should uae the CONCEALED ~TI-HWSEHoLD procedure for &multi-household addreaaee you find whether the MO column la blank or not.
(Intervlewera who have worked on the ●urvey in previous years ahOuld nOte thatthis ie ● departure from the procedure used in the pact.)
sa312ANu
In SCO’ILANOhowever, you ●hould uae the PRE-SANPLED MULTI-HUISEHOLD procedurepage 13) at all addreeaea with an MO indicator of 3 or more ●nd the CONCEALEDMULTI-HCUSEHOLD procedure for al1 other ml ti-household addreaaea you find.
12
6.2 CONCEALSD MULTI-HOUSEHOLD PROCEDURE(ENGLAND, WALES AND SCOTLAND)
You should familiarise yourself with this procedure before visiting any addressesas there may not be any indication on your addresa list (le. the MO column msy beblank) that an address, la multi-occupied.
In this case you should take the top sheet off your pad of pink CONCEALEDMULTI-HOUSEHOLD SRLECTION SHEETS (see example).

6.3 PRE-SAMPLED MULTI-HOUSEHOLD PROCEDURE[SCOTLAXD ONLY]
Any address with a multi-occupancy (M) indicator of 3 or more is treated as apre-sampled multi-household address. However, we cannot pre-t$electthe householdsfor ya at _theseaddresses because flats in tenement blocke are not often listedseparately on the PAF. Usually only the house number and street name are given.
Therefore at ●ach address with an MO indicator of 3 or mre we are aaking you tosample one kateable unit using the valuation liata held at the Rating Office. You
should visit the Rating Office to obtain the required information tefore calling onany of these addresaea.
For ●ach pre-sampled multi-household addreaa you will be issued with two forms
A. -a blue RATEABLE UNIT SELECTION SHEET for the selection of rateableunits; this is the sheet ~ou start vith.
B. ● white PRE-SAMPLED MULTI-HOUSEHOLD SELECTION SHEET for thaselection of houaeholda. You will‘~ need to use this sheet if thenumber of rateable units #t the ,pddreaais too ●r+ll for one to baselected.
The ●rea number and the ●dd. serial no. for that ~ddreaa will ba entered in theboxee provided ●t the top of both the blue and white sheets. It la eaeential thatya uae the correct ●heete for ●ech pre-eampled multi-household ●ddreaa ●o thathoueeholde are given their correct chance of selection.

A. Rateable unit selection procedure [SCO’ILANDONLY]
On the valuation lists each rateable unit at an address isdescribed as ‘house‘, ‘spartment house’ or ‘serviceflsc‘.
w Address: 87 James Street
Entries on valuation list:
House 87 James Street Gordon
House 87 James Street Kane
House 87 James Street McKandrick
Service Flat 87 James Street Hayden
listed separately and is
Gr. 1
Gr. 2
1/1
1/2
When you have found the address at the Rating Office, enter the details as theyaPPear On the vsluatiOn list in the box on the front of the blue sheet forselection of rateable units (see example). Se sure to copy down the number orlocation of each rateable unit so that you can (or another interviewer on afollow-up) can subsequently identify the rateable unit(s) that will be selected.
On the back of the blue sheet there is a selection table with a range of numberscorresponding to the number of rateable units you may have found. Against eachnumber in the range is the number of the rateable unit(s) at which you are tointerview.
In the example (aqe serial number 06) four rateable units were found. Referring tothe selection table we see that rateable unit number 1 has been chosen so youshould interview the household occupying the ‘house’ at Gr. 1 (ground floor 1).Ring the number of the rateable unit selected, in this case number 1, in theleft-hand column on the front of the blue eheec.
You might find that the number of ratesble units is too small for one to beselected. In this case an instruction printed on the blue sheet will tell youto visit the address and use the white pre-sampledmulti-household form.
Specisl cases:
a. If the address is marked as a ‘DIVIDEDADDRESS’ on your addreas list, youehould list rateable units only at those parts at which you have been instructed tointerview. At non-divided addreases, list rateable units at all parts of theaddrees.
b. Timptyor ineligibleunits: Any units that appear on the valuation list asvacant should be included in your listing kcause they may have become occupied●ince the valuation list was compiled. However, if a unit is marked ‘derelict’,exclude it from your listing. (Propertywith no rateable value la often derelict,but you should check with the officer at the Rating Office before excluding suchproperty.)
Units on the valuation list which are non-domesticor commerciallY rated (eg shops,surgeries, workshops) should be excluded from your listing.
It is clear that in some casea the unit selected will turn out in the field to be●mpty or ineligible. Treat them as you would any other empty or ineligibleaccommodation - ie no interview la required.
c. Selected unit contains more than one household: Occasionallyyou may find thatthe selected ratesble unit contains more than one household - ie it la aconcealed multi-householdwithin a pre-sampled❑ulti-householdaddreaa. In thiscase you ehould follow the procedure described at 6.2 on page 12.

B. . Household selection procedureXscoIL4ND omy)
You will need to carry out this procedure ~ if the number of rateable units youhave listed on the blue sheet is too smell for one to be selected and You have beeninstructed to call at the address and carry out the pre-sampled multi-householdprocedure.
In this cese you must visit the addrese and, after talking to e respomible edult,list ●ll the households living there at your first call. The households should belisted on the front of the white pre-sempled Multi-household Selection Sheet usingthe lieting procedure described on page 11 (see ●xample).
On the back of the white eheet is ● selection table with ● range of numberscorresponding t~ the number of households you may have found. Against ●ach numberin the range is the number of the household ●t which ya are to interview.
In the example (see eerial number 05) three households were found. Referring tothe nelection table we see that household number 2 has been chonen no you shouldinterview the household occupying the flat on the lot floor, left-hand side. Ringthe number of the household selected, in thin caee number 2, in the left-handcolumn on the front of the white sheet. (This number is no. the household numberyou will be using on your schedules.)
If there was only one household ●t serial number 05, no interview would be requiredand you would simply return a Record of Calla and Outcome for serial number 05,coding outcome Code 80 - ‘No sample selected at the addreas’.
If there were ●ight households at this ●erial number you would have to interviewtwo householda, numbers 1 and 4 on your list.
However, it IS rare for you to be instructed to complet~ no interview at anaddreas, or ❑ore than one interview. In the vast mejority of cases the eelectiontable for a pre-sampled multi-household addre.eewill instruct you to interview onehousehold only.
Special ceses
●. If the addreas is marked ●a e ‘DIVIDED ADDRESS’ on your addreaa list,yta should list houeeholda only ●t thoee parta at which you have beeninmtructed to interview. At non-divided ●ddreeaea, Iiet households etall partm of thm sddreea.
b. Smlected unit ie ●mpty or ineligible: Ae far ●e ycw can, you ehould●void including empty ●ccadation on your list, but ●t some ●ddressea (eg● block of flats) it maY not ●lWaYa be poaeible to tell whether a flet ieempty or not. If you flad that the fI at you ●elected for interview by usingthe table on the Re_aampled Multi-hcaaehold Selection Sheet la ●mpty orineligible, you ●hould treet it se you WOUId ●ny other empty or ineligible●ccommodation - ie no Intervi=a ia required.
I%e relevant outcome code should be entered on the &cord of Cal1s ●ndthtcome ●nd on the Pre-sampled Multi-houeehold Selection Sheet.
c. Selected unit containe more than one household: occasionally you mayfind thmt your chosen fIat contains more than one htwehol d - ie it ie aconcealed EJltI-houeehold WIthin s pre-sampled mwlti-household●ddreee. In this caee you should follow the conceded multi-householdprocedure deacribd in section 6.2, page 12) (ie. uee ● pink ●heet).
16
Returning Scottish nelection sheets: AS part of your administrative checking youshould record the outcotracode for the selected household(s) in the right handcolumn on the front of the blue Pre-sampledMulti-household sheet for selection oRateable Units or the white Pre-sampled Multi-household Selection Sheet if used.Please return all sheets attached to the Record(a) of Calls and Outcome for thatserial number, even if no household has been selected.
On your ‘weekly’ despatch sheet please record the number of multi-household sheetdispatched.
Extra households per quotaSCO’IUND ONLY
In any one quota no more than four extra households should be chosen whether theycaee from concealed or pra-sampled multi-householdaddresaes. For example, if twconcealed multi-household addresses each produce the maximum of three households,then that ia the four extra households. At every sddress after that you shouldselect one household only, in the following manner:—
- At concesled multi-household addresses you should take the firsthousehold that your Concealed Multi-household Selection Sheetinstructs you to interview.
- At pre-sampled multi-household addresses you will usually have onlyone household to interview, but if your Pre-sampled Multi-householdselection Sheet instructs You to interview two households you shouldtake only the first.
Enter outcome code 81 against those households you are omitting because you havealready carried out interviews with four extra households in your quota.
Interview arrangements: Where you are interviewingmore than one household at anaddress always try to do all the interviews in the same week in order to preventsecond-hand versions of the survey being paased from one household to the next.

7. INSTITUTIONS
An institution is defined on the GHS as ‘anpeople sleep, while they may or may not eat
address at which four or more unrelatecommunally, the establishment must be
run or managed by a person (or persona) employed for this purpoee by the owner’.
Up to 1986 all institution.swere counted as ineligible for the GHS. We changedthis procedure for 1986 on so that an Inutitutfon ehould be counted as ELIGIBLE IFTHSRS IS A PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDUSUALLYRSSIDENT THERE. In such cases, we want you tinterview the private household(a), provided that the institution iS their ~in Oronly address.
The inetructiona for dealing with ad~res~ga divided into parts (ace section 5) als●pply to ●ddreases which are institu~iona. Therefore, if the addresa had more thaone part you WOU1d include private houaeho~da at all parts unlea.sthere was anInstruction on your address list to interview at one part only or to excludecertain parts. For ●xample, if the,c@y:#ddress liaced was ‘Henor Hall BoardingSchool‘ but you found a ‘Headmaster‘a Cottage, Manor Hall Boarding School,‘ youwould include private households living at,the headmaster’s cottage as well as anyliving at the school. If, however, the address was marked ‘DIVIDEO ~DRSSS’ with‘Manor Hall Boarding School‘ aa the sampled addresa and the ‘Headmaster’aCottagealso listed, you would not include private households living in the headmaster’scottage.

To be completed for every fully or partial1y cooperating household at the end ofall individual interviews.
Conventiona for Interview Schedules
i. Nhenever possible, signposts are shown to the right of the coding column:
‘- Q 15’ means ‘ask Q 15’
‘- SEE Q 15’ maana ‘look at the heading above Q 15 and, if itapplies, ask Q 15; if it does not apply,ring the DNA code (usually to the left ofthe coding column) and follow that signpost‘
If no signpoat is given you should ask the next question.
ii. Question headinga have generally been omitted except for questionsthat do not apply to all the informants directed to them, ie questions that needboth a heading and a DNA code.
iii. Page numbers are shown with signposts to queationa if you need to turn moretbn one page to get to the question.
Iv. Where a box is designed for more than 1 digit, thla has uaua]ly beenindicated on the schedule by short vertical rules; please space out the numbersaccordingly. Thus in boxes designed for Z digits, codes 1-9 should be entered as01, 02, etc.
v. When a question asks for the year - eg. Q34(a) ‘In what year did You firstarrive In the UK’ - we only want the last 2 digits of the year written in.
vi. Where you have to write an answer there will be a dotted line to write on.If the answer ia a number there may, or may not be digit dividera, but always writenumbers in digits not wnrda.
vii. There la no provision on the schedule for fractiona, +S should be roundedto the nearest even number (eg 424 should be recorded aa 42 but 43+ should berecorded aa 44). Other fractions, of cnurse, are rounded to the naareat wholenumber (eg 41 ~ - 41 or 41/ = 42).
viii. If there ia no dotted line, don’t let it atop you making notea of any ‘oddanawere. If there are any comments or queries on a particular questionnaire for~r attention, pleaae attach one of the pink alipa to the top of the pagecontaining the comment, and Field or Primary Analyaia Branch will then be able tofollow up your queries quickly.

10. WllSNTO TAWI A PROXYINTERVIEW
In certain clrcumstances it is permissible to take a proxy interview rather thanlose information about a ❑ember of the Imuaehold.
Conditions in which a proxy interview may be taken
a. Where the informant is senile, ❑entally backward, or totally deaf.
b. Where the informant la ill and will not be well ●nough to aee youbefore the end of the field period.
c. Where no contact can be made with an informant during the field period,●g where an informant is away or in hospital for the whole of the remainingfield period.
NB. If you are to]d by another member of the household that theinformant is ‘never in’, you should still recall eeveral timesin the hnpe nf seeing the informant in person befora resortingto a prnxy interview.
d. Where an informant is ‘ton busy’ or ‘not Interested in this,sort ofthing’, provided the inform~nt givea permission for the proxy to take place.You should alwaya recall in~order to explain the survey in person beforeaccepting a proxy. In no clrcumstancea should you take a proxy simply nnthe strength of another member of the household saying that the informantla ‘too busy’ or ‘not interested in aurveya‘.
In al1 these caaes you should ua.ka green Proxy Schedule, but remember that it laa drasticallY shortened version of the white Individual Schedule. In the caseparticularly of (d) above, a proxy interview la a laat resort - ie it’s batterthan nothing, but that’s all.
There may be other circumstances in which it would be sensible to take a proxy.But, in such casea, ring the office for a ruling firat. In all caaea where aproxy 19 taken, we need a clear description from you on the Record of Calla andOutcome as to why the proxy was neceaaary.
Permianion to take a proxy
Wherever possible it is advisable to nsk the informnt for permfsaion to do theproxy before interviewing another member of the household on hia/her behalf.This is particularly true in the cane of those who are ‘too busy’, ‘notinterested’, or ‘never in’, because their excuse may simply be their way ofsaying that they don‘t want to be interviewed.
NOTE - If you nevar see the informant in p~raon, ask ,another.,houaeholdememberto obtain the Infdrmant‘a permission for you. (Obviously there ●re still●cme canes where one might do a proxy interview without permission - eg ifthe person In,question la ●enll:, or avey until,after the end o,fthe fielddatea ●tc).
- Roxy information la generally better obtained only from a closerelative. However, in dome caseb,,particularJy‘with eldarly people. thismy not ●lwaya te poaaible. ‘YOU should uae your judgement of good publicrelations, bearing confidentiality in mind. If YCU ●re in any doubt, ringtha office for advice.

In some households there ❑ay be a language barrier, in which case you may have touse an interpreter in order to help you obtain all or part of the information. Inthese circumstances the following rules apply:
a. If the interpreter is a member of the household aged 16 or over: uae thewhole Individual Schedule and ask al1 the questions
NB: In these cases it would be preferable to allow the intrepreter and theinformant to se]f-complete the Family Information section. Pleaae ensure that youhave fully explained the purpose and content of the section, as the sterilisationquestiona may cauae embarrasmrs?nt.
b. If the interpreter is a member of the household aged under 16: uae the whiteIndividual Schedule but omit the Family Information section.
c. If the interpreter is not a member of the household: use the green ProxySchedule.
Remember to record on the Record of Calls and Outcome who acted aa interpreter.
12. ADVANCE LETTERS
In 1988/9 advance letters will be sent to all sampled households (exampleopposite).
Letters will be sent out from HQ a week before the start of each month. They wil1be addreseed to ‘The Occupier’ so of course you cannot assume that your informantwill always have seen the letter, particularly if the address turne out to be amulti-household.
SCOTLAND ONLY
For quotas with pre-sampled multi-household addreeses you will be asked to send outletters,youraelfonce you have identified the selected households at the RatingOffice. (Instructions on this will accompany your addreae list.) Spare copies ofthe advance letter will be sent to you ae will ‘signing-off’letters for uae withineligible or multi-household addresses where not all households turn out to beeligible for interview or for households you have been unable co contact throughoutthe field period (examples over page).
13. ADMINISTRATION
13.1 Serial numbers
Region, quarter and area numbers are now pre-printed onto a label to be used on elldotumants (eee 3.4).
You will need to write in the address and household numbers for each household.
PLEASE NOTS: To bring GHS into line with other SSD surveys we will nnw be putting aZERO (instead of a dash) in the household (H’HLD) hox where there ia only onehousehold at the address. If there is more than one household, number th~~, 2(or 3) as appropriate. To

I’heusual Social Survey definitione of ‘household’and ‘head ofhousehold’ apply, aa given in the ‘Hmndbookfor Interviewers’ (1984).Plemae take care to fill in all parta of the household box for eachmember of the household.
Date of birth is placed before @ eo that the two questions can beaaked together. Firac ask ‘what la your date of birth?‘ or ‘whatia....‘a date of birth?‘ and then ask age eg. ‘ao may I just check,how old ie ..... now?‘.
Refer to card H1, tha age chart, aa neceaaary. (Card H1 la to be usedfor Interviews dated 1st April 198S to 31at Decamber 198S and CardHl, on the revarae aide, for ihterviewa dated 1st January 1989 to31at March 1989.)
NB Children less than 1 year should be recorded aa ’00’, and persons~ed ovar 99 yeara as ’99’.
Marital The GHS uses a different marltal statua prompt from the standard onestatus described In the Interviewer’sHandbook, becauae there la an
additional category in the marital atatua box (C - Code 2) for peoplewho are cohabiting.
You should aak aa a running prmnpt ‘Are you merried, livingtogether, single, widowed, divorced or separated?’ Code livingtogether aa code 2 (cohabiting). This haa priority over the single,widowed, divorcad and separated codes.
At this stage you are not expected to probe ‘separated’ but, ahouldan informant query the term, it covara any person whose spouse isliving ●lsewhere becauae of estrangement (whether the separation lalegal or not).
Marital status should not be ‘askedif the ‘relationahlp to HOH’ haabeen given ●a ‘wif●‘ (or ‘husband’). simply ring code 1 (married)under Marital Statua. Similarly simply ring code 2 (cohabiting) inthe Mmrital Statua box without aaking marital status if the‘relationship to HOH’ hae been given aa ‘commn-law wife’ (or‘husband’) or if cohabitation has been apontaneoualy ❑entioned eg.‘girlfriend, ●he lives with me’.
(lC)
Household When code 2 applies, record the relationship to HOH as cohabitee,box boyfriendfgirlfriend or common-law husband/wife. Note that with(contd.) cohabiting couples, aa WIth married couples, the male ia
automatically taken to be the HOH.
Marital atatua and age information collected in tha ho”aehold boxshould never be recoded in the light of answera to the FamilyInformation section (ace Individual Schedule instructions relatingto the Family Information section).
The cohabitation code helpa to provide an accurate picture of thesituation in the household and in particular of the family unitswithin the household (ace below). Before the cohabitation code waaintroduced, an unmsrriad couple living together were claaaified aa 2separata family units unless they spontaneously❑entioned that theyware living together as husband and wife, in which case they weretreated aa married.
Family unit Figures collectad by a number of government department relate tofamiliea rather than households. Conaequently, it la neceaaary togroup household members into family units.
A FAMILY UNIT can conaiat of:- a married or cohabiting cnuple on their own;- or a married or cohabiting coupleflone parent and thair never-married childran provided these children have no children of theirown;- or it can consist of one person only, eg a divorced daughterwithout children.
A brother and sister (whose parents are not part of the household)would form two separata family units.
Members of the HOH‘a family unit should be numbered 1 in the FamilyUnit; the next family unit 2, and ao on, eg:
Per. No. Relationship to HOH Family Unit
01 HOH 102 Wife 103 Son (unmarried) 104 Ffether 2

a. In general , family unite cannot npan more than two genera-tion, ie grandparents and grandchildren cannot belong to the samefamily unit. The ●xception to this is where it is established thatthe grandparents are responsible for looking after the grand-children (eg while the parents are abroad, etc).
b. kiopted and step-children have tbe same family unit number astheir adoptive/etep parenta. A feater-child, however, should begiven ● aaparate family unit number from his/her foater-parenta.

PRSSENT ACCOMMODATION
Purpose of section
If it is to carry out ●ffective houeing policies, the Department of the EnvironmentCneeds to be able th assess the extent and nature of tha houeing problem in differentparts of the country. These questione are designed to provide information for thispurpoee. They ara concerned with certain beeic housing etandards, such ae thedegree of’overcrowding and the emount ofIaccommodation that lacke sole uee ofcertain atnndarkl’amenitiea. In addition, tha GHS ie ueed for monitoring tha growthin the poaheaaion of consumer durablaa and central heating.
TypQ of ‘ Code from obaervatlon.accommodation
Q1 Here the description of the accommodation should refer only to the‘space’ used by the household. Thue in the ceee of e h’oueeowner-occupier who nbblece Borneroome, you ehould ring code 06 or07 to indicate that the household occupiee only pare of the houee.
Bungalowe (including ‘pre-faba’) ehould be treatad ea whole houseand coded 01, 02, or 03.
‘Owallings with bueiness premises’ covere those places where thereis access betwaen the privete end businees perts without goingouteide the building. If tha address ia a flat in a block, thebottom storey of which ie a rru of shope, then code 04 or 05 shouldbe used.
For public houses, inne and hotels: pleaee epecify thet theaccommodation Is a pub etc. and ring the appropriate code. Thiewill usually & code ‘08’.
Caravens - code ‘09’ applies to ell typea of caraven, both mobileand non-mobile.
Q2 “h important current social problem ia the situation of people who~‘live’in very tall blocks of flats (high-riaa accOmwdatlOn). The GHS
haa been aeked to help in the study of this problem ty showing whetkinde of people live in these conditions and whether they might heve●pecial probleme ae a result (eg the elderly, the dieabled, motherswith very young children).
,,~,
The question ia concerned only with the living part of theaccomrodation. ‘Living part’ here =ana the llving room, lounge orwhatever it may be ulled. If it ia not obvioue from observationwhere tb main living part is, yeu mat check thie with theinformant.
(3a)
Qs 4-10 These questions refer to the accommodation occupied or shared by thehousehold you are interviewing. Rooms which are usually (sub)let or whichare let in the holiday season to another household or guests should beignored altogether, even if they are unoccupied at the tim of calling.
Q4 A fixed bath is one that is permanently attached to a water supply andhas a waste pipe.
Q6 We require whatever an informant thinks of as a bedroom. Every householdshould have at least one bedroom, that ie, a room in which someonesleeps.
For our purpoaaa a kitchen is defined as any room in which the householdcooks - other than those which, in addition, are used as bedrooms. Ifthere ie more than one kitchen in the accommodation, pleaae record theextra kitchen(s) at Q9, ringing the ‘shared’code if any are shared.Give priority at Q8, firstly to any kitchen used to eat meala in, or as asitting room, and then to any kitchen at least 63 ft wide.
Informants may mention that they have cooking facilities in a hall or on alanding. These are not ‘kitchens‘ for our purposes and should not beincluded, but make a note of the circumstances. ~ count a pantry or ascullery if it is used for cooking.
Q8(a) For some analysis purposes and for comparison with the Census, smellkitchens are not counted aa ‘rooms‘; @ ft is an approximation t. 2metres.
Q8(b) Accept the answer given by the informant but, if queried, note thefollowing points:- the question relates to current usage- meals should exclude jusf.cups of tea or coffee.
This question refers to all rooms other than bedrooms and kitchens andthose rooms specifically excluded on the schedule.
Q9
Enter al1 other rooms (whether actually used or not), recording the namegiven to the room by the informant. ‘Kitchen’ can appear here as a roomdescription - this ie the name given in some parts of the country to themain living room, even though the room is not used for cooking. Youshould note that the room is not used for cooking. It can alao appearhere if there is more than one kitchen used for cooking in theaccommodation (see instructions at Q8).
Where a room ie ‘open plan’ WIth dividers of some kind, it should becounted as two rooms if there is a sliding or folding partition. A roomdivided by curtaina or portable ecreene ehould count as one room. If a‘dinette’ is given we need to know that it is separated from the kitchenby a (folding) partition. A2covea are not separate rooms.
If you are in any doubt whether to include or axclude any particular room,deecribe the situation fully, noting in particular whether or not theroom can be used al1 the year round. For example:
attic, loft, - specify whether (a) it waa built for livingstore room purposes
(b) it haa a skylight or window;aun room, extension - note whether it can be used all year round or only
in summer;unusable room apecify in what way it ia unusable, and whether
the situation is temporary, eg while beingrenovated.

TENURE
Purpose of section
The nmvemenc from renting into owner occupation has been one of the nnst strikingfeatures of the”post_war housing scene, and the ability of the GHS to umnitor theseflown helps to improve forecasts of housing needs. The preeent govern=nt la●ncouraging)uort people to becom? owner occupiers, and local authorities are makingpart of their houeing stock availeble for purchase by sitting tenants.
Q 14 T1’Iis queetion means: In whoee name doee the houmehold owm or rent thehousehold accommdationq In generel the pereon(s) will’belong to thehousehold and only on occasion (e.g abeent spouse) not be listed in thehousehold box.

The identity of the actual ovner must be established because it isneeded at subsequent questions.
Where accommodation is owned by an individual outside the household notethe following points:
treat as ‘OWIM/lB buying’ - accommodation owned or being boughteolely by, or jointly with, an ●x-spouse
- accommodation owned or being bought solelyby, or jointly with, a spouse outsidethis household (away on businesscontinuously for Bix moncha or mOre).
If the household rents the accommodation, give the person ree.ponaiblefor the rent even if it is rented from a relative, ●.q.an old lady ina separate granny flat paying nominal rent to her Bon who owns the hOuBe.
If the household lives rent-free, give the paraon reaponaible for therent-free occupancy, eg. give the HOH if the accemmmdation la a houseowned by hia parents, give wife of HOH if it cornearent-free with herjob.

Q15 For tenure analyses, two types of housing association scheme nesd(60s 16a identified:
to be
“&“20(b))co-ownership schemes - included in the owner occupied sectorfair rent schemes - included in the rented sector
Co-ownership or equity sharing schemes are those where a share in theproperty is bought by the occupier under an agreement with the housingassociation. The monthly charges paid for the accommodation include anamount towards the repayment of the collective mrtgage on the scheme,and as such the occupier may be able to claim tax relief. However, forpractical purposes the payment la regarded as ‘rent’. It is importantto realise that the co-owner never becomes the sole owner of theproperty, but on leaving the scheme a caah sum la usually repaid to theowner.
In fair rent schemes there is no capital investruantin the propertyby the occupier; only rent is paid. Therefore the occupier never owns
~e~~t Of the PropertY and there is no repayment on leaving the
Most ‘equity sharers’ will identify themselves spontaneously at Q15because they find it difficult to say whether they are owner occupiersor renters. However, as a check, all mortgagors are asked (Q16a) whetherthey own a share of the property jointly with a housing association. (Asimilar check for renters is made at Q20b.)
For further points on the coding of (/15,see instructions for Q14 above.
Q 16(a) Co-ownershiL la the joint ownership of residential properties (eg blocks& Q20(b) of flats) by a group of people who have formed a registered co-ownership
society. These developed particularly in the 1960s when groups werebuying newly-built properties, usually on an equity sharing basiswhereby each person bought a share in the entire property. Co-ownershipis declining aa groups sell the properties to individuals following theappreciation that has taken place in the value of the shares.
Shared ownership involves an individual being part owner (whether onmortgage or not) and part tenant of the property. The tenanted part isfrequently owned by a local authority or housing aeaociation, whoreceives rent from the purchaaer. The rented portion usually standa atbetween 25% and 75%, but the purchaser may have the option of increasingthe percentage afha owns, eventually owning the property outright.

Housing Benefit
Owner Occupiers
Q21, 21(a) Owner occupiers may receive Housing Benefit (HB) which has replaced21(b) rates rebate; they may either receive a lump sum refund from the
local authority or the amount msy be deducted from the rates they areasked to pay. A ratea rebate should not bs confused with a discountfor prompt payment of rates etc. (eg for paying the year’s rates inone lump sum).
Q 21(b) is a check to pick up recipients who may have said ‘No’ to Q21 because Housing Benefit is deducted from the rates they are askedto pay.
Tenants
Housing Benefit (HB) has taken the place of rent and rates rebatesand rent allownace. In sow cases tenants may not actually receiveany money as the benefit will be paid direct to the landlord. Q21(b)is a check to pick up any recipients who may have aaid ‘No’ to Q21for this reason.
Q23 It is possible for a household to include someone else who isreceiving HB in his/her own right.
In an owner occupier household, for example, a teenage child of theHOH who is paying him/her rent could be eligible for HB.
A tenant household could include someone who is paying rent to thehead of householdflandlord in his/her 0~ right and receiving HB. fOrexample, friends sharing accommodation.
Q23 is asked only if the household includee another adult apart fromthe HOH and apouae (Q22).

Q25
Housing satisfaction (Qs 24-25)
The Department of Environment has asked ua to repeat som questionsfrom 1978 to obtain a measure of people’s attitudes to andsatisfaction with their homes. Such a measure can be related toother known characteristicsof the households and theiraccomnmdation, and will form an invaluable basis for aaseaainghousing preferences and priorities.
The housing aatiafaction questions deal first with people’s existingaccommodation and then with the sort of accommodation they would likto have if they moved.
Don’t forget to ring the code for HOH if your informant is the HOH,or to enter the Person No. if you are interviewing some otherhousehold member.
Ask this question aa a hypothetical one, regardless of whetherinformants can or wish to move. The emphasie throughout is onpreferences. If someone inaiste that he or she would never considermoving and therefore finds it impossible to state a preference - andyou cannot encourage them to do so by your standard procedure ofrepeating the question - code ‘dnn‘t know’ at each item and move onthe next section.
Q27
(11)
The definition of ‘active steps’ should be left to the informant.

MIGRATION
Pleaee introduce the purpose of this section:-The ●xtent to which people move, and their country of birth, are of interest tomany department bac.eueethey throw light on the movement of pop~ation withinGreat Britein end from one country to another. Information about country of birth●nd ethnic origin nre eleo important for population ●tatiitics ●nd for identifying●ny neede for sub-groups of the population ●g. housing, ●mploywnt, education. Itmay help to identify particularly disadvantaged graps.
Note that this section appliee to all members of the household, including children.—
Q33 Enter the number of completed years at the ●ddress.
Absences fran the addreee which by their nature ●re temporary, iewithout permanent intent, should be ignored. For exemple, a pereon noweged 22 who wae born et thie addreee, and whoce only absence waa when hewent to university for three years ●t the age of 18, ehould be recordedin this column ae ’22’ and not em ’01’ (year).
Q33(e) The number of moves should include eny that were from Greet Britain orto Great Britain, but not any moves that were wholly overseaa.—
Great Britain: exclude Ireland (North and South) and theChannel Islands.
NB This question must be asked about children aged under 5: thewords ‘since helshe was born’ may be substituted for ‘in the laat5 years‘.
Qe34-36 Some countries will heve different names now from when informants ortheir parents were born. You ehould give the present name of thecountry; but, if thie la not known, give the old name and actual placeof birth. We cen then aubntitute the preeent name in the office.
The 6 most common deacriptiona that will require probing are:
i. UK, GB - code England, Scotland, or Wales
ii. Ireland - code Northem or spacify Southern
iii. Germany - say whether Eaet or West
iv. Pekietan - Eaat or West (ie Bangladesh or West Pakistan)
v. Americe - eay whether USA or Canada
vi. Weat Indiee - we need to know which island.
Q34(a) ‘First ●rrive’ meena for any purpose whatsoever, including holidaye.
(12& 13)(b)
Q37 This is an opinion question addressed to the person interviewed forthe household schedule. Do not code from observation except in the~lowing circumstances: yo~ay code 01 without asking the questionwhere the person concerned is obviously white, and where he or sheand both of his/her parents were born in Great Britain or NorthernIreland (ie Qs 34, 35 and 36 ended 01, 02, 03 or 04). You must notaaaume that code 01 at Q37 applies to anyona you have not actual1yseen; in these caees the question must ba asked.
Even In tha circumetancee described above, we euggest that you askQ37 (rather than coding it without aaking) if ynu have already askedit or will need to ask it about anothar member of the household.From a public relations point of view it might seem odd to aak aboutthe ethnic group of some members of the household and not others.This will particularly apply where thera ara children in thehousahold whom you have not seen.
Pleaae make sure that any answers coded ‘Mixed origin’ are promptedand specifiad fully, becauae we need to be able to sort out whetherthe person’s parents belong to two different ethnic grnups (eg whiteand Pakistani, Indian and Chinese) or two nationalities (eg Frenchand Italian, Nigerian and Kanyan). SPeCIfy at (a) without asking
(a). _Do not recnde.
Q37(a) This should be completed whenevar the main question ia coded ‘mixedorigin’ (09) or ‘none of these’ (10).
If an informant answers ‘mixed origin’ at Q37, proba and spacifyfully at (a) but do not ask Q37(a). (See above, Q37).
If an informant answers ‘none of these’ at Q37, ask (a) and specifyfully.

Qs 1, la Treatment of YTS participants& la(i)
Since the middle of 1983 YOP schemesby the more extansive Youth TrainingYOP scheme in 1988/9
have been phased out and replacedScheme (YTS). No-one will be on a
Notes: Youth Training Schemes will vary. They focus on unemployed 16 and 17year olda and provide an integrated programme of training, education andwork experience for 1 or 2 years. In the paat tha achemea have laatedfor 1 year but 2-year schemes were Introduced in April 1986. From April1986, 16 year school leavers were eligible for 2-year YTS and 17 yearoId school leavera for l-year YTS. Anyone starting YTS before April1986 will generally be on the scheme for only a year, although some maybe eligible for a second year.
The schemes will be run not by the MSC but by managing agentacoordinating contributions from employers, colleges etc.
In most achemea the young person wI11 work at an employers but tillreceive a minimum number of weeks training, some or all of which may beat a college. In some schemes, however, the person wI11 spend most ofthe time on a coursa at a College of Further Education or othereducational establishment.
In al1 new schemes the majority of the time wil1 be spent on workexperience with an employer.
Questioning procedure at QI and QI(a)
The aim is to treat YTS much the same as other informents. A youngperson on YTS may be coded 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6 at Ql, Ql(a) or Qla(i). youdo not need to prompt ‘YTS’. Generally accept a 16-18 year old’s answerat Tand Ql(a).
So code 1,
or ask Qla(i),
or probe furthertheir answer butan employer 1ast
if the person answers:‘Yeaf or ‘Yes .... (and mentions being on YTSIaat w=k)’
If the person answers:‘No’ or ‘No .... (and mentions being on YTS laatweek~.
only if the person does not include ‘Yes’ or ‘No* Insaya they were on YTS la~week and, if they were withweek, code 1.
or, if they were at a college.last week, check that the person did notdo any paid work or have a paid job as well as being on Y’M last weekand, if they did not, go on to ask Qla(i).

Q1 See Pages (id) - (if).
Q2 This is for 16-19 year o]ds to discover whether or not they were on YTSin the laet week. Include people away frmn YTS temporarily because ofillnaes, holiday or other reaaon.
Q2(a) DE want ua to code whethar YTS participants were with an employerproviding work experience (employer baeed) or at a college or trainingcarttre(college-based)in the last week. If an informant waa both withan employar and at college laat weak, code 1, ie ‘employer-baaed’. IfYTS participant waa ill or away from the scheme for another reaaon, codethe usual place of training.
People on YTS with an employer last weak are treated as working lastweek and so quastions about their main job (Employunt Qa 5-16) apply totha YTS job. People on YTS at collage laet week are treatad aaeconomicallY inactiva and anewer Employment Qs 25-35.
Pleaaa note At all queatione refarring to jobe 12 ❑onths ago, jobsstarted in the laet 12 months, or to laat job, YTSIYOP jobs ara notcounted as jobs. The question wording at all the ralevant quest~smakae this distinction claar.
Q3 This la now tha centinuity indicator for the rast of the EmploymentSection, except for YTS participants (aae Q2 (a) above), ie itdetarminea whather you ask tha questions for the working, the unemployedor tha economically inactive.
For the unamployad thare la a further check at A4A/B to determinewhethar they are ●akad Q5.
Q4 A/B Q4A ia ●ddreaad to unemployed people waiting to take up a job that theyhava already obtainad (code 3 at Q1).Q4B la addreeaad to all other unemployed paopla (coda 4 or 5 ●t Ql).

Level of responsibility: When asking about occupation, please probe forlevel of responsibzlxty (see notea at @) ●nd ring the appropriate codeat Q5(a).
Self-employedlemployeea In general accept informant‘a answers, except
1. Where there is doubt you should try to find out how they aredeecribed for tax purposes, and for National Insurance purposes.If the informant does not pay tax or NI, accept the informant’sanswer, but note that people working aa mail order agents, poolsagents, odd-jobbing, baby-sitting etc are usually clasaed as‘self-employed’.
NB It is possible to be self-employed and work under contractto an employer a~d ao be treated as an employee for taxpurposes (eg in the construction industry.) Informants inthis situation should be classed aa self-employed.
2. For all directors and managers who aay initially that they areself-employed, check whether they work for a limited company.If they do, they are treated as employees for tax and NI purposesand should be coded ‘employee’here.
Note re agency ●mployeesAn employee obtaining work through an agency (eg a secretary, nurses●tc) may be ●ither an ●mployee of that agency (ag the agency paya partof their NI contribut iona ) or an employee with each dlfferent ●mployerthey go to. h%en prnbing occupation and industry establish which is thecaae ●a this will affect anawera ●bout length of time with present●mployer and number nf new employee jobs started in laat 12 months.

For the self-employed, ask about the total hours they work intheir main job (described at Q5) including any overtime. Moscself-employed don’t think of thamselvea aa working any overtimeand no for all self-employedwe want to record their total hours.
The following points should be noted:
a. If a person haa started a new job in the reference week, theusual hours should relate to what the person ●xpects them tobe in the futura.
b. In the case of people who are ‘permanently on call’, make afull note of the circumstances and probe for the total hoursusually worked when on call (ex~ overtime) and enter thisnumber of hours in the coding column.
c. If the hours vary or the work ia intermittent (eg caaualworkers), try to obtain the weekly average over the pactfew monthg.
d. For teachers, you should accept the .enawergiven, which mayvery well be in exceaa of the normal 27 or 28 hours.
When recording the numbers of ho”ra you should round any anawer cothe neareat whole num~er. However if you get ~, half given in theanawer ●g 37+ hOur8, you should round to the’nearest even number,in this caae it would be 38 houra. IIIisrule should be applied toall questions of this type throughout the schedule.
Q9 me Department of Employment uaea survey data to estimate thetotal number of people looking for work. TO do this they need toidentify separately those who are ‘claimant(s’, ●nd aa suchrecorded aa unemployed in official atatiatics from UnemploymentBenefit Offices, and those who are not ‘claimenta’.
A certain proportion,of,claimanta are w:,rkingin any one week soin order to make sure w,identify all claimenta we need to ask allpeople, working or otherwise, whether,they are clairnanta. AS itis difficult to specify in advance which types of workera are thamoat likely to be cla:menta and in order to ●void complicatedfilter questions, Q 9 in aaked of all workers.
(Lb)
Q9(contd)
II
We have suggested an introduction to the question. The workera most1ikely to be signed on at an Unemployment Benefit Office are those whowere looking for work, those available for work but who worked a shortweek for some reason last week andlor were earning a low amount.Workers may be eligible for unemployment banefit or supplementarybenefit as an unemployed person if they earn less than about E2 on aday. If they earn more than this but inaufflcient to pay a NationalInsurance contribution, they may sign on at a UBO claim an NI credit.
NB Do not include as a claimant a full-time worker receiving FamilyCredit or Family Income Supplement (FIB) to supplement his low wage a.(See the instructions at Income Q 33(b) for a full explanation. )
Unemployment benefit la normally paid fortnightly, so still ring code if1 the person’s claim covered last week, even though it may not havebean made last week.
People can get supplementary allowance andfor NI credits for manyreasons, only one of which is being unemployed. It ia importanttherefore to include only those claiming via an Unemployment BenefitOffice.
NB They will be required to attend the UBO fortnightly, or perhapsquarterly.
Therefore code 4 if they are claiming benefita or credits only through aDHSS Social Security Office and not via a UBO.
Code 4, as already ❑entioned, is the ona to uae for people who are notsigning on at a UBO.

PENSIONS
Q15 This question is included as a lead in to Q16 and also to use in theanalysis of Q16. See be]ow for the purpose of Q16.
Be careful to include pension schemes run by public sector employerseg. the civil service, nationalized industries, local a“thoritie~.
Do not include pension schemes run by Trade Unions or FriendlySocieties unless the employer is also invnlved in the control of thepension scheme and makes financial contributions to it. If indoubt, make a note of the name of the scheme and treat as anemployer’s scheme.
Do not include schemes that give only a lump aum payment onretirement. If the employer runs a pension scheme that providesother than just lump aum paymenta, but this Infnrmant will receive alump aum only, on retirement, code Yes at Q15 but ring code 2 atQ15(a).
Q15(a) & These questions identify employees who are members of their(b) employer‘a pension scheme (coded 1 at Q15(a)) or who are possibly
members of an employer’s scheme (coded 1 at Q15(b)).
If queried, code 1 includes employees over retirement age whobe]onged to the pension scheme run by their present emplnyer beforethey reached retirement age. They may already be receiving theiroccupational pension from the employer.
Q16 This question is about ‘personalpenalona‘ for DHSS and InlandRevenue. Some people arrange pensions for themselves rather thanbelonging to an employer’s pension scheme. These arrangements aresnmetimes called ‘personalpensions‘ or ‘self-employedpensinns‘ or‘Section 226 Retirement Annuities‘.
Frnm July 1988 new legislation is being introduced so that allindividual will be able to contribute to a new form of personalpension and contributions to these new pensiona will attract incnmetax relief.
Prior to July 1988 personal pensions were generally only taken outby the self-employedand by employees who did not belong to theiremployer‘a pension scheme because only these groups of people wereeligible for tax relief on personal pensions contributions.
In order to monitor the effect of the new legislation and thetake-up of personal pensiona, Q16 was Included in 1987 prior to thelegislation, and is included again in 1988 to look at the situationonce the legislation has been introduced.
Note that in 1987 the question applied only to those eligible fortax relief: the self-employed and employees not belonging to theiremployer’s pension scheme. This year the question applies to allworking informants.

Q16 (a) This checks when the personal pension wan taken out in order to identifycasea where the peneion was taken out ●fter the new legislation.Apparently it is ●xpected that a large number of people will beattracted to the new personal pensions at an early stage.
~n the April-June quarter of 1988 this question la obviously notapplicable.
(8a)
QS 17 & 18 The unempleyed
Tbeae queationa enable the Department of Employment to ●etimete whatproportion of the unemployed section of the work force are ‘claimants’at Unemployment Benefit Offices.
We aak firat about claiming unemployment benefit becauee people who areclaiming it rtwstbe signed on. ‘Claiming’benefit rather than actuallyreceiving It ae what counts, so evan if a claim made last week has laterbeen disallowed or the outcome la not known the anawer to the questionla ‘Yea’.
Unemployment benefit is normally paid forcnightly, ao still ring code 1if the person’s claim coverad laat week, even though it IMY not havebeen made laat week.
Q18 Some unemployed people are not eligible for unemployment benefit (egthey may not have paid enough NI contributions, or they mey already havereceived unemployment benefit for 12 months, or have earnings frompart-time work, etc). If they ara looking for work and are availablefor work they can, however, claim aupplemantary allowancelbenefit fromthe DHSS. Also, tho8e not eligible for these benefits can still claimcredits for their NI contributions.
People can get supplementary allowance andfor NI credits for manyreaaona, only one of which is being unemployed. It la importanttherefore to include only those claiming via an Unemployment BenefitOffice.
NB They will be required to attend the UBO fortnightly, or perhapequarterly.
Therefore code 3 if they ara claiming benefite or credits only through aDHSS Social Security Office and not via a UBO.
Note re. men aged 60-64From April 1983, tbe regulation about signing on ●t UBO’a changed forunemployed men aged 60-64. An unemployed man aged 6*64 hae to sign onat a UBO to receive unamploymant benafit. If however, ha la noteligible for unemployment benefit, but la claimimg supplementary benefit●ndlor N1 credit e (as an unemployed person), he will not have to sign onat a UBO and ●o should be coded ‘No, not aignad on ar.=0’ (code 3 atQ18).
Note re. registrationSince October 1982, those aged 18 and over claiming banefita or creditsvia an UBO are no longer alao raquirad to register for work at aJobcentre. Those aged 16-17, however, are still required to register ata Careers Office.
(8b)
QS ~7 6 18 If a person receives unemployment benefit and supplementary allowance,—code 1 at Q 17.
In cases where a person is uncertain if it is unemployment benefit orsupplementary allowance that they receive, check at which office theymsde their claim. If it was a UBO, make a note and code 1 at the main Q17 rather than at Q 18.
If it definitely waa not a UBO, code 3 at Q 18.
If, when asking the Income sect ion, you find that the anawers recordedhere conflict with the answers recorded there, make a note in the Incomesection but do not recode Q 17 or 18.
Q19 Hare we want the total amount of time that the informant haabeen unemployed and actual]y 1ooking for work, including any time theinformant was temporarily sick, aa well as the time spent waiting totake up a job.
Note that the period of ‘wantingwork ‘ cannot atart before the end ofthe last paid job, even if it was only a temporary ‘fill-in’job. Itmay, however, start at any time after leaving the previous job - eg aperson may have been out of work for 10 yeara, but only looking for workfor 3 months. Similarly, the current period of unemployment must hvestarted since any government training coure, TOPS, YOPS, or YTS, wasattended.
Q20 This question establishes the informant‘s working status 12 months ago,before going on to ask about jobs started and unemployment spells in theprevious 12 months.
Quote the full date and year 12 months ago.
Note that the definition of ‘working’ is the sane as for Q1 except thatwe want to identify separately all those who were on YTS 12 months ago.So, if the informant la currently aged 16-20 and saya that he wasworking 12 months ago, please probe as indicated. Being on a YOP/YTS 12months ago takes priority over working.
Q21-23 These inatructiona are the same aa those for Qa 12-14. The Departmentof Employment needs to measure the extent of labour mobility andturnover in the country; the extent to which people are able or willingto change joba la an important element affecting policies on employment.These questiona only cover jobs started as employee.
Q21(a) If queried, the definition of a full-time student is still at school andstudying ful1-tlow at college or university or on a sandwich course.(see also inatructiona for Education Q2a.)

Q22 This question establishes whether the informant has started any paidwork as an ●mployee within the last 12 months.
Be sure to quote a full date and year 12 months ago.
The following circumstances do not count as ‘starting a job with a newamployer’. If the informant
- has a new employer merely aa a result of a marger or takeover
- ia a ‘temp‘ who worka for diffarent firma but la employed by the sameagency
works for a local authority (eg. as a teacher) and changea to asimilar job within the same local authority (or its equivalent beforethe LA boundary changes)
la a civil servant and changes jobs within the same department.
Excluda any joba started while the informant waa living abroad.
Q23 A ‘main job’ is the person’s moat renumerative job at the time (aventhough it may ba only a part-time or casual job). It may of course,have been the person’s only job at the time.

Q33 ‘lhis question is to check participation in government schemes.Please do not recode Q 1 or Q 3 as a result of an informant’s answerto this question.
community Industry Scheme (CIS)This provides jobs for personally and socially disadvantaged youngpeople vho undertake work projects of benefit to the community.Community Industry recruits 17-19 year olds for whom YTS places areinappropriate and temporary ●mployment is provided by CouomunityIndustry Ltd, a registered charity.
Community Prograuude(CP)The Comunity Enterprise Programma (CEP) hae merged with theCommunity Programme (CP) which was launched on 5 October 1982. ‘heCommunity Programme provides temporary ●mployment for long-termunempleyed adults on projects of benefit to the community.Recruitment to job opportunities is restricted to people aged 18 to24 who have been unemployed for over 6 months in the last 9 months,and those aged 25 and over who have bean unemployed for over 12months in the last 15 months.
Job Training Scheme (JTS) or Training Opportunities Programme(TOPS).- .--,There are two versions of the JTS. iThe ‘old’ varaion used to beknown aa the Training Opportunities Programme Scheme (TOPS) and manypeople still know it as TOPS. It la run by the-Manpower ServicesCommiaaion (MSC) and providen training for people who want toimprove their job proapecta by learning new or additional skills.JTS courses are open to man or women who are at leaat 18 years ofage, unemployed on the day the course starta and have been away fromfull-time education for at least 2 yeara. Training couraea includecraft training in Skillcentrea, clerical and commercial couraea incolleges, short industrial courses, catering and HGV couraea.Normal college courses can be nponaored under JTS and unemployedcraftsmen can obtain ‘Skillplus’ training. The coat of training iscovered by the MSC and the trainee usually receives i38 per weektraining allowance and possibly an axtra E24.70 for a spouse.
The ‘new’ version of the JTS is operated in the same way as the oldveraion except that trainees do not receive a set weekly trainingallowance. The amount they receive ie baaed on the total amount ofbanafit received during their previous period of unemployment. NewJTS paymente WI11 therefore vary.
Voluntary Rojecta Programme (VPP)The Voluntary Projects Rogramme, which started in August 1982, isrun by the Manpower Services Commiaaioq (MSC). It alma to provideunemployed people tith constructive activities which might developtheir ●killa, provide rehabilitation or work preparation. Thaeeprojects can be taken up by unempleyed people on a voluntary baaiawithout affecting their entitlement to banefita.

Q 35

This question is used in analyses of ‘social mobility’, the extentto which people have similar jobs to their fathers, and, for women,the relationship between family background and the number of childrenthey have.
The question relates to the father’s usual job or occupation, whichclearly Is leas defined than when we talk about the informant’s joblast week or the last job that the informsnt had. If the informantia in doubt as to which was the ‘usual‘ job, record the occupationthat was held for the longest period of time. If the father iscurrent]y working, it is still the usual occupation that we require.
There are some caaes when it will be impossible for informants todescribe their father’a occupation. In these circumstances note thefact that no information COUId be obtained and say why. If theinformant doea not know about a father but volunteers informationabout a father substitute, eg a step-father, this should bsrecorded.

TRAINING
Purpose of Bectlon
The Department of Employment have requeeted that we ask a series of questions ontraining. The questions are required by the Manpower Servicee Commission so as togein information about training from thoee who actualIY receive it rather than fromthoee who provide it. They wish to find out what proportion of adults have done somejob related training in the last 4 weeks end whether this training was ‘on the job’training or not. In particular they are interested in the emount of trainingreceived and peoplee’ ❑otivation to train. ‘llIIsinformation will aeeist them indeveloping treining policies to meet the needs of, end to ●ncourage, adults co trainend re-train throughout their working lives, as this is becoming increasinglyimportent with the ever changing demends of new technology.
This section should be addressed to all men aged 16-64 and all women aged 16-59.
The reference period used for all the questions is the 4 weeks ending yeaterdsy.
Q1 This question filters those people who are currently in some sort offormal education, out of the training section. You will need to refer tothe Education section Q1 and Q2a to code this question, anyone coded 98at Q1 or coded 2-5 at Q2a does not get aaked the training section.
Q2
Q3
This ie an opinion question as there is no proper definition of‘education/trainingor self-instruction that would help with a job’. Youshould hand informant CARD E aa you aak this question, which shows thesorts of things we are interested in. Note that we want to includethinga such aa ●vening claasea , correspondence couraea and teachizgyourself certain ekills as well aa the more formal typea of training. Asit la an opinion question anything which the informant considers mighthelp with a job should be included.
If en informant says that his/her training or ●ducation was for leieurepurpoaea only, then it is not counted here even if it leada to aqualification.
Note the.t this too la an o’pinion question.
‘If ●n informant la uneurk about what ie meant by ‘on the job‘ trainingthen take their opinion of whether it waa ‘on the job’ or not.
@.
Q5 This question askathe job’ training.
(21)
about any training or learning other than any ‘on
If someone has done two or ❑orebeen on a management course andcaaaettea, we need to establishtraining separately. Therefore
‘What sort of training did
quite differant kinds of training eg.ia teaching themselves french fromthis and aak about each ‘episode‘ ofat Q5 you aak the open question:
you do in that 4 weeks?’
We than want you to establish how many ‘episode’of training theinformant has done. Given below are some examples of what would countaa one ‘episode’of training:-
- a formal course eg. management coursestatistics course
- teaching yourself french from cassettea over a period oftime
- a course of evening classes eg. one night a week for 2 terms
- a workshop or seminar
- teaching yourself to use a word processor over a period oftime.
Not many informants will have had more than one ‘episode’, but dorecord the number of ‘episode’, even it ia only one in the boxprovided.
Do note that a ‘course’consisting of several aesaiona/lectures iastill counted as one episode. Likewise self taught from cassettes—over a period of time is counted as one ‘episode‘ even though severalperiods of activities may have occurred with the cassettea.
Q6-7 These questiona only refer to training tha waa not ‘on the job’.
Questions 6-7 should be asked about each training ‘episode’separate]yand you should record the anawera about the first ‘episode’in thefirst coding column headed 1ST EPISODE and so on up to 4 epiaodea onthe schedule (anymore uae extra schedule).
In Qs6-7 you should substitute the particular training you are talkingabout into the questioneg. Q6. How many hours did you spend on the management course
in the 4 weeks ending yesterday?
AZ1 this question we want the number of hours actually apent doing thetraining. This includes all time spent in the clasaroom or doinghomework nr any other study. If the informant ia unsure as to theamount of time spent trY and work out with them how much time theyspent day by day and then total it up.

HEALTH
Purpose of ●eetion
The Department of Health needs more information on the ●xtent of sicknese end theuee people make of varioue health and welfare services.
If an informant has already mentioned health problems during the interview, pleaseadd the following preamble when you introduce the section:
‘You ‘ve already talked to me about your health, and now I ‘dlike to go on and talk about it in mre detail , includinganything you may have al ready mentioned.’
Q 2(b) If the informant has ❑ore than one complaint, uae code 1if ~ of the complaints limit hislher activities.
Q 3(a) ‘ The ‘number of r days t required ie the number within the specified2 weeks, not the total number of dayn if the il lnees or injury—started before the time period.
Ilfa
(23)
Q4 ‘Talking to a doctor’ can mean seeing him (at home, surgery etc) orspeaking to him on the telephone. In some cases informants may saythat they called to pick up tsblets or a prescription. You shouldenter detsils only if the informant actually talked to the doctor.Do not count aocial chats with a doctor who happens to be a friendor relative.
Exclude doctors seen abroad unless Forces doctors.
Q 4(C) Private medical treatment is treatment which is paid for either bythe informant or by someone else (eg an employer, an insurancecompany providing medical insurance cover).
Q 4(e) Note that the question is intended to cover visita to doctors intheir own practicea only. Therefore if it emerges at (e), forexample, that the doctor waa seen at a hospital clinic or districthealth authority clinic, you should delete the entry .
If the doctor was seen at a Health Centre, you will need to make aspecial check becauae Health Centres usually include both doctors‘surgeries and district health authority clinics (eg child welfare,family planning). You must therefore check whether informants sawdoctor in his capacity aa a GP in hia surgery at the Health Centr(in which caae, code 5) or whether they aaw him as the doctor incharge of a district health authority clinic (in which case deleteentry).

Accidents (Qs 7-13)
Questions on accidents at home were included in the 1984 GHS st the request of theConsumer Safety Executive at the Department of Trsde snd Industry. The CSE’srespon.sibilities have now been extended to cover accidents outside the home andthey have therefore ssked us to broaden our questioning accordingly. TheDepartment collects its own accident statistics directly from hospitals with24-hour Accident and Emergency departments. The GHS information supplements thesefigures by covering sccidents which lead to treatment by a doctor or by a hospitalwhich does not have a 24-hour A & E department.

EXCLUDE Injuries that result from attacks by insects, animals, orother persons.

SiLF-COMPLETION SMOKING AND DRINKING SCHSDULEFOR PERSONS AGED 16 ANT 17
It is possible that people may tend to understate the amount they smoke and drink.We realise that it may be especially difficult to get younger people to tell youthe truth, particularly if you are interviewing, as you often are, in a familysituation.
We have therefore-devised a self -ccapletion form to be used for young people aged16 and 17. ,T$e smoking section is ,sopewh’atsimpler than on the main interviewingechedule, chiefly because it concentr,atka on cigarettes. The drinking section isalmost exactly the same as on the main schedule. We would like you to use thisself-completion form in all cases when you are interviewing a 16 or 17 year old.—
Don’t forget to check that it has been properly completed when it is handed backto you.
SMOKING
Purpose of section
These questions are asked on behalf of the Department of Health in order to findout about people’s smoking habits and how these may be changing over time.
Do not comment on the hazards of smoking or on your own feelings about smoking.However, if you need to ●xplain further the purpose of this section, you can aaythat over time there has been a lot of discussion about the effect of smoking onhealth, and that the department is Interested to see what effect this is having onpeople’s smoking habits.
General points We are only interested in ordinary tobacco which is smoked.You should, therefore, ignore any references to snuff, tobaccoor tobacco products that are chewed or sucked or herbaltobaccoa.
Note that in a few places the question numbers and layout havechanged from previous yeara.
Q1 By ‘ever smoked a cigarette, a cigar, or a pipe’, we mean evenjust one ever in their life.
Qa2h9 Do not define ‘nowadaya’, but ask Informant to decideinetead.
Qa 3&.4 Note that ~ figurea are required at both these questions.If any informant tan only give the amount in ounces of tobaccoor an overall weekly number of cigarettes, record theseamounts aa a last resort. Record ounces of tobacco as a notebeside the coding column.
H$
(35b)
Q5
Q6
By ‘filter-tipped‘ cigarettes we mean cigarettes manufacturedwitha tip on them. You should not include filtered cigarette-holdersthat some people use.
‘Hand-rolled‘ cigarettes can be filter-tipped or plain - but it isthe fact that they are hand-rolled and not manufactured that isimportant.
The aim of this question ia to categorize cigarette brandaaccording to their tar level. There are a very large number ofdifferent brands; many with similar namea are actually in differenttar bands. Therefore we have provided a card headed ‘BRAND CHECKLIST’ (CARD F) which shows the vaat majority of cigarette brands.As well as writing the full brand name and whether it is tipped orplain and the size of the cigarette eg Kfng Size, Luxury Length,you should use the Brand Check List to identify the exact brand andwrite the 3-digit brand code in the coding column. Your informant
~Y be a help in sOrting out the brand ao pleaae show him Or herthe card if necessary. When writing brand record full details as,for example, Embassy No. 1 is in a different tar band from EmbassyNo. 3. The Brand Check List is in alphabetical order to help youwork out the correct code quickly.
Occasionally someone may smoke a brand not on the check list -perhsps a new brand, or cigarette bought abroad - ao code belowthe brand code and give full details in the space for brand nameetc.
Refer to the cigarette packet for details if possible.
If someone says that they really have no ‘usual‘ brand ofcigarettes, record details of the brand they are currently smoking.

DRINKING
Purpose of section
These questions are asked on behalf of the Department of Health in order to findout about people’s drinking habits: for example, how these may vary in differentparts of the country or between different types of person. This section was firstincluded in 1978 and is baing repeated at intervals (ususlly every 2 years) sothat we vi]1 be able to see whether patterns of drinking behaviour change overtime. The questions were last asked in 1986.
This section applies to all informants. As already explained, the self-completionform shnuld always be used for 16-17 year olds. As in previous years, informantsaged 18 or rivershould be offered the opportunity of self-completion. However,unlike previous years the whole of the section is nffered for self-completion,notjust the questions on quantity and frequency.
Although we would expect most informants to answer the drinking section, someinformants may prefer tn answer by self-completionif other people are withinearshot. You shou~d therefore nffer the section for self-completionin all caseswhere a third person is present. Of course if your informant is happy for you tocontinue asking the questinns, then you should do so.
You will probably need tn explain how to fill in the forms, particularly thesignposting.
You may also need to explain that codes for the frequency of drinking at Q& shnuldbe ringed and that the amount usually drunk on any one occasion should be enteredon the dotted lines at Q5. You may find it useful to use the ‘shandy‘ row todemonstrate how to complete the form. If the section la self-completed, rememberto check that all the relevant codes are ringed and amounts filled in as soon asthe schedule is handed back to you, before going on to ask the Family Informationsection.
Note that in snme places the question numbers and laynut have changed fromprevious years. For example, what used to be Ql(a) has been made a separatequestion, Q2, because it occasionally used tn get missed.
II
Also the terms ‘alcohol‘ and ‘alcoholic‘ have been added at some questions, eg Q3,in order to eliminate the inclusion of non-alcoholic drinks.

Q.a 4-5 The layout of the question about quantity and frequency has beenaltered and improved no that Q~ now CO1lects information aboutfrequency of drinking and Q5 collecte information about the amountusual lY consumed on any one occasion.
Q4 Prompt ●ach group of drinks on the liec in relation to Card G. Readout all drinks in each category, including what ie in brackets.—
I&member to include homa-made or home-brewed drinks in theaPPrOPriace category (eg rhubarb or nettle vine should be coded as‘wine’ aIIdnot entered aa ‘Anything else, specify’).
Where drinke are grouped at this question, we are not interested inany one particular drink in a group, but in the group of drinks as awhole. Thus if someone answers that he has a drink of whisky twice aweek and of gin once a week, you should throw the queetion back,explaining that we just want to know how often he haa had a drink of
~ kind Of aPirita and liqueurs in the laat 12 months.
In an informant cannot decide what hia or her answer should be, youshould make full notes of what ie said.
Ba careful to include only alcoholic shandy. Cans of ahandy, for●xample, generally have an extremely low alcoholic content andtherefore would not be included.
(38 & 39)b
Q5 Shandy and beer/lager/stout/cidershould be recorded as ‘pints‘ orlarge or small cane. Always record the total amount usually drunk onany one occaaion - eg if someone saya 2 half pints, enter that as 1pint ao that it ia not confused with someone who saya 2 pints plushalf a pint, which should be entered as 2 ~ pinta.
Cans of beer, lager or cider are very popular these days and it isincreasingly common for them to be meaaured in litres or fractions ofa lltre. We expect large cana to be approximately 550 ml, just undera pint, and small cans to be approximately 275 ml, just under ~ pint.If the cana consumed were a different size, we need to know; pleaaerecord the size.
If bottles of beer, lager or cider have been drmrk we need to knowtheir size, eg j pint, 350 ml, 3/4 pt, 75 cl, 1 lltre etc.
Spirits should be recorded as singlee, so that a ‘double gin‘ shoddbe entered as 2 singles. (In Scotland, singles are sometimes knownas ‘halves’.) However, in the exceptional case of anawera beinggiven in terms of botties, you should record that - ie miniature,i pint, etc.
Occasionally, answera may be given as ‘spoonfuls’- in this caseestablish and record whether it ia a teaapoon or a tablespoon etc.‘Nips’ or ‘tots’ are acceptable answers to record for spirits.
Wine and sherry/martinietc should usually be recorded as glasses.But if anewera are given in terms of bottles you will need to checkthe size - ie ~bottle, ordinary bottle or litre. Sherry may also bedrunk in larger glaases, known as ‘schooners‘, and this should berecorded eg 2 schooners rather than 2 glasaes.
At the ‘anythingelse ‘ category you will need to enter in each casethe description of the quantity as well as the number - eg 2 glasses,~ bottle, 1 teaspoon, etc.
If, at any part of Q5, the amount usually drunk on any one occasionvariea so greatly that the informant is unable to anawer, you sho”ldprobe for the amount most usual1y drunk on any one occasion duringthe last 12 ❑onths. —
NB At Qa 6 and 5 there is no need to indicate which particular drinkin a group the frequency or quantity relatee to.

@ 6, 6(a) These questions tell us more about Informant’ overall frequency ofand 6(b) dri~ing.
Q6 Q4 telle .s how often informants drank each particular group ofdrinke but not how often they drank enything at all. Consider, for●xample, an informant w+m reports drinking beer 3 or 4 times a weekand whisky 3 or 4 times a week. Ha may be drinking the beer andwhisky at different timee eo that he is actually drinking some kindof alcohol between 6 and 8 times a week (‘moat d.eye’). on the otherhand, he may be drinking the baer and whieky at the same times eothat he is only drinking three or four times a week overall. Q6 wiltell us which of these patterne applies.
Qs 6(a) and These questione investigate a little further the overall frequency o(b) drinking, fnr informants who drink at least once a week. We ask on
how many daye and how many eeparate nccagions (a week) informa~tahave had something alcoholic to drink becauae the answer given at Q6(main) does not always provide this information in an unambiguousway. Someone who reporta drinking 4 times a week, for example, mayusually drink on Monday, Tuesdey, Wednesday and Thursday evenings [4days and 4 occaaions1 or on Saturday lunchtime, Saturday evening,Sunday lunchtime and Sunday evening [2 days and 4 occasions] or evenon Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes and evenings [days and 8 occasions].
Q?
ProxySchedule
At this question we are interested in people’s qualified replies, aowe do not want you to repeat the questions in an effort to forceinformant to choose a straight ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ anewer.
Therefore, code 1 (Yes) or 3 (Nn) only if that la your informant’sinitial eponcaneoua reply.
Code 2 - if the informant qualifies the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ reply in termsof the amnunt drunk
Code 5 - for qualified answers apart from those coded 2, and for anyocher answers; there la no need to specify these answers.
Code 4 - if the informant doesn’t know whether drinking candamage peopl●‘e health
Only in caeee where the informant‘a initial answer la very vague orindicatea a reluctance to give an opinion should you repeat thequestion to encourage e reply.
The Drinking section is not included on the Proxy Schedule.

FAMILY INFORMATION
PurpOOe of Section
Family Information
Cur client for the family information sectinn la Population Statistics Division Iof OPCS. They have the responsibility nf providing other government departmentswith information about the size and composition of the current population, both atnational and regional levels, and nf providing ●atimatea of the future population.These are needed in order to plan the provision of public aervicea, eg theDepartment of Education and Science need to know the size of the school-agepopulation, the Department of Health and SocfaI Security need to ●stimate thedemand for hospital and social aervicea and the Department of the Environment toestimate the demand for housing.
Over recent years a number of social changea have occurred that are affeeting thesize and composition of the population. It la therefore necessary to monitorchangea over time in order to provide up-to-date information ao that thedemographic implications can be asseaoed. llris ia why the information on maritaland fertility hiatnry from this section of the GHS is important. Examples ofthese social changea are the trend towards smaller families, an increasingtendency for married women to postpone having a family, and the increases inmarital breakdown, cohabitation and illegimate births.
Introduction
Please introduce the family information section fully, using the notes above, toall women and the questions on marital history to all except single men. Forsingle men the question on cohabitatiori(Q14) should be introduced if Q1indicates that you should ask this question.
Pleaae remember to introduce the self-completion form in a general manner,especially if the informant was not present when the houeehold box marital statuswas completed.
Self-canpletion forms
1 Women
3 typee of self-completion form have been devised for women to be used whenapprOpriate:-
The grey ‘WC’ form la for currently ❑arried womenor those coded as cohabiting at thehousehold box.
The blue ‘UDSep‘ form ie for currently widowed,divorced or separated women.
The pink ‘S’ form la for currently single women.
centinued
\
(41b)
Using a self-completion form can ensure confidentialityand avoid possibleembarrassment eg. asking about illegitimate births in front of other people. Wedo not lay down rules for the use of self-completionforms but for guidancerecommend their use in the following circumstances:
(a) interviewing any woman in the preeence of other people,unless the woman is married and the only other person presentis her husband. (However, even if the only person presentia her husband the woman or you may prefer to uae a aelf -completion form.)
(b) interviewing single girls aged 16-19 whether or not in thepresence of other people.
To simplify theself-completionmain schedule.
When explainingthe signposting
layout and aignposting the design and content of theforma differ from those of the Family Information Section on the
how to fill in the forms please ensure that informants understandsystem. The signposts are on the right of the anawer boxes.
Informants are asked to ‘ANSWER’a question when it is the next question on thesame page, or to ‘CO TO’ a question when they have to skip a question or go toanother page.
Berause of their length it is clearly impossible for you to check the formsthoroughly during the interview, but whenever possible you should at least scanthe forma to check that, so far as you can judge, the correct sequence ofquestions has been followed, that there are no obvious inconsistencies,and thatwritten answers are comprehensible. In the case of anyone who has baen married❑ore than twice or has had mnre than five children (or, if single, more thanthree), check that they have given information for all marriageafchildren. Thismay entail giving them an extra page to fill in. —
2 Men
There is one cream self-completionform for men which contains 3 differentsections. Pleaae complete the serial number and interviewer check on the frontpage; then turnto the man:-
*MIC’ section -
‘WDSep‘ section
to the appropriate section before handing the self-completion fnrm
pages 3-6 - for currently msrried or cohabiting men
- pages 7-10 - for currently widowed, divorced or separated men
‘S’ section - pages 11-12 - for currently single men.
Please explain how to fill in the forma as you would for women but alao mentionthat they should stop at the end of their appropriate section, which you canindicate by the last page nr last question number.

Handling of questions
There are certain situations about which we may need to give guidance onhandling”
1. Interviewing a couple
Questionn relating to legal status of present marriage (Q.4), details of presentlegel marriage (Q.7), deteile of cohabitation (Q.5, Q,7) and whether Partner Orhusband hae been merried before (Q.5a, Q.9) will be repetitiOua if asked Of bOththe man end woman separately and nay appear to be checking the other person’sanswers. We need to record the information on both schedules eo that we cenrelate detaila of marital history to other information on the man’a or woman‘aechedule for anlayeie purposes. Uhile, in theory, the information could betransferred manually or by computer from one schedule to another, it is much lessexpensive and less prone to error if the interviewer records this information oneach schedule.
You will need to consider how you will cope with these queetions when conducting ajoint interview.
When conducting a joint interview you can direct the questions to bothinformants and obtain a concensua answer or give an appropriate explanation andaak the questiona of both informants aeparataly. When interviewing a husband andwife separately you may need to explain that YQU have already aeked the questiOnsof their partner but need to aak tham of everyone.
If there is disagreement about answera to these questions please could you recordthe relevant answerg on the relevant individual schedules with an explanation andflag.
2. Interviewing men
Since men are only being asked about marital history and cohabitation this sectiondoes not apply to single men with no unrelated woman in the houeehold. In any caaeit 1s likely to be short for all men and it may be worth mentioning this in yourintroduction. If you are conducting a joint interview you may need to mentionthat you are not asking men the rent of the ~ection because fertility endateriliaation,information are ●lwaya related to women becauae, among otherreaaona, it would h very difficult to collect information from men.
,}3. Interviewing single teenage girls
We have recommended that you use a self-canpletion form for single girle eged16-19 in order to eneure confidentialityand possibly obtain more reliableinformation. However this is subject to your discretion end if you may feel oncertain occaaiona that it would be mre appropriate andlor acceptable to aaktheee queationa.
If you are aeking the family information questions of single teenage girle thenyou should give a full introduction.

General notes
Marital Status
On no account should you change the marltal status coding in the household box ofthe Household Schedule becauae of answers to particular questions in this section.
Dates
It is very important that you try to obtain all dates accurately in this section.Analysis of women’s fertility often depends on collecting a complete history ofmarriage and childbearing from informants. The 10ss of quite small pieces ofinformation - eg the date of a decree absolute - can have a serious effect on howuseful a particular schedule is. If an informant cannot remember aparticular date or event, try to collect as much information as you can. Pleaseavoid unqualified ‘don’tknows1, if necessary obtain an estimate or a guess andindicate this with an E in the margin in the usual way.
In many places in the section dates are asked for in terms of months and years.You aho”ld always record these dates in numeric form. For example, August 1950should be recorded as month 08 and year 50. Do not forget the leading zero in themonths January - September (01 -09).
Informants using a self-completionform should continue to give their answers Inthe way they find most convenient, and we will continue to convert them to numericform at HQ if necessary.
On the main schedule, questions are aaked about all marriages (Qa 8-12) and all—children (Q 17), and there are equivalent sections on the self-completion forms.Check that information is obtained about all of these events.
II Q1 Note the distinction being made between men who are married orcohabitingwith spouses in or out of the household (as for women).
Q2 This question now applies to men as well as women. To improve the GHSfigures on one-parent families, this question is included todifferentiate between married persona whose spousea are not householdmembers but whose marriages are stable and continuing (ie spouseworks away from home), and msrried persons whose spouses are nothousehold members and whose marriages have broken down.
Q3 Pleaae remember to fill this in for everyone, especially for thosewho have filled in a self-completion form.

SHARE OWNERSHIP
Purpose of section
The Treasury have requested these questions in order to monitor the effect of thepolicy to promote wider share ownership.
They want to obtain estimates of:
- the extent of individual share ownership in general
- ahare ownership by employees in the firma in which they work
- share ownership of privatiaed firma.
It is important to ask these questions, even if people say at the beginning thatthey do not own shares, because in the PIIot we found that some of these peopledid own ahares, especially in the companiea in which they worked. This ia thereason why we have asked detailed questions rather than a general question such as‘Do you own any shares‘.
Definitions
We are interested in the ownership of shares in companiea whether or not they arepublic companies and whether or not the shares pay dividenda.
Pleaae note that partnerships do not involve share holdings.
Personal Equity Plana
Anyone aged 18 or over can invest in a Personal Equity Plan (PEP).You can invest up to a total of 12,400 in any one PEP but you arerestricted to one PEP per person per year. A PEP can be made up ofshares in UK incorporated companies listed on the Stock Exchange andshares on the Unlisted SecuritiesMarket. You may also hold 25% orE420 (whichever is the larger) of your total PEP investments inauthorised unit trusts andlor sharea in inveatmanc trust companiea.A PEP is basicalIy an investment in different kinda of sharesoperated on your behalf by a Plan Manager.

INCOME
Purpose of Section
The main use of the Income SFction 1s t? provide a meaaure of overall income whichla an important classificatory item for all other sections of the questionnaire, eghousing, health, employment, and, aa such, ie used by all our client governmentdepartments. However, tha information ~bout the components of income is also u8edin its own right. >,
Some important uses of the Income Section age.
a. to compare the inconw levels of people whose main or only oource of income isstate benefita with the incomes of the rest of the population.
b. to show to what extent particular etace benefits are reaching households inneed.
c. to lonk at incnne from occupational pensions.
d. to link qualifications and income in a kind nf coat-benefit analyeia calledthe ‘Sate of Return’ for higher education, ie coat of higher education and theamount returned to the Exchequer in taxee etc.
.7-e. tn relate attitudea on the ‘right to buy’ council and tenanted houses toincome and the appropriate,discounta.
The detailed questioning in the Income aaction la necessary because the differentuaea of the data demand slightly different definitiona of income, eg DHSS generallyneeds to consider how much net income is available for living expenses, aftercompulsory deductions like income tax and,National Insurance. The Department ofEducation, on the other hand, is concerned with groea earninga: the amount of moneypaid by an employer, before any deductions are made from it.
Introduction
AS this section la ao detailed, please,in’troducethe section fully uainK the nOteaahove. It la Important that informant are aware not only of the purpose of thesection, but al.aoof the reasons why-guch,detail la neceaaary.
It la Important, that you try to obtain high levels of co-operation from ynurinformant and that.you do all you can~to ●ncourage the accurate reporting ofamounts. Pleaneencourage informant to get out any relevant documents they mayhave (pay slips, bank or Peat Office,bogks, pension or child benefit bnoks, or Giropayment slips): ●ae note overleaf. Mso do not leave amounts blank but obtaineatimataa if at all possible, especially where there are double lines around a box(See nnte ii overleaf).

Notes
i. RecordingamountsofIncome
ii. Estimates
iii. CheckingtheIncomeSection
iv. Self-completion
v. Use ofpay slips
Q1
GenerallY You are asked to record both Es and pence, and shouldprobe to ensure that answers are aa accurate as possible.Where, however, an amount refers to a 12-month period(Qs 23, 24(c), 32A/B, 49(e)) YOU should record SS OnlY (nOtpence). Answers should be rounded to the nearest whole E, 50Pto nearest even E.
At sons?questions it may be necessary to accept estimated,rather than actual, amounts. Whenever this happens, pleaseensure that you follow the standard procedure of marking ‘E‘beside the anewer. Please, accept estimates rather than obtaina ‘don’t know’ where there is a double line around the box(eg.Qs.8, 16, 20).
Throughout the Income section you should be alert to the needto check answers against those given earlier in the interview.Try to ascertain the reason for any apparent discrepancies andwrite full explanatory notes.
The Income section could be wholly or partially self-completedby an infornant rather than lose information, but try to avoidthis.
For questions on earnings, from both main and second oroccasional jobs, informants should be asked if they can produca current or recent pay slip to which they can refer.
The rules about the use of pay slips in relation to the mainjob are as follows:
- current pay slip available, ie relating to last payperiod: should be referred to for information on lasttime’s earnings and deductions
- pay clip up to 3 calendar months out of date available:could be consulted, if a current pay slip is notavailable, as a guide for estimating last time’s pay; thiswill usual 1y involve adding on any Increases that haveoccurred since the old pay slip
- pay slip more than 3 calendar months out of dateavailable: should not be consulted unless the informantis certain that no ~nges have occurred since that time(see also notes at ‘Pay slip code’, p. (55).
This directs people to the relevant questions. Please code thcurrent employment status of the informant as recorded atEmployment Qs 2a, 3, 4 or 5. Note that codes for people on YTwith employers or at college in the last week (EmploymentQ 2atake priority over the code at Employment Q 1.
(53a) ‘
Earnings as an ●mployee (Qc 2-20)Q2 This question ie ●sked of all people who are currently working as
employeee and ●mployer-based YTS, and of those unemployed persons(ie coded 4 or 5 at Q3 of the Employment section) whose mostrecent job was ae an employee.
If an employee does more than one job concurrently, Income Q 2 andthe following eequence~df Q- 4-20 refer to tha main job only (atQ5 in Employment section), ie the most ramunarative job.
If the informant has only recently started the job (described atEmploymant Q5) and haa not yet received any vage/salary, ●xplainthis in a note, and anawer Q4 in terms of how helshe ●xpects to bepaid; then go to Q8 (see note for Qs 8, 16, 18).
Q4
Q56Q6
Note that the period covered by the 1ast vage/salary is recordedhere; this may differ from the usual= period.
Code 5 is only for pay perioda of a calendar month. If someonevolunteers that he is paid ‘monthly’, check whether this iscalendar nmnthly (ie 12 times per year) or 4-weekly (ie 13 timesper year).
If last time’s pay was unusual in that it included holiday pay,specify the total period covered by laet time’s pay, including theholiday period.
If an informant ehould have received a further wage or salaryeince the date he gave YCU at Q2, the answera to Q 5 willdetermine whether we accept what he tells us as his ‘currentincome’, or whether we make aoue adjustment to the informationbecauae it is no longer current.
If, by comparing the date of interview, the date on which theywere last paid, and the period covered by that last wage you findthat they should have teen paid again eince the date at Q2, weneed to know at Q6 why details of a more recent wage are not beinggiven.
In meet caaes this will & because pay covering the most recentpay period ik yet to be collected (precede 2: thie may apply, forexample, when informant were on holiday during the last payperiod).
In some cases informant may say that they received no pay becausethey were off eick, in which case please check if they receivedonly Statutory Sick Pay from their ●mployer.
Employere are responsible for paying Employer’s Statutory Sick Pay(ESSP or SSP) for the first 28 weeke of an employee ‘e eickneeaabeence. This mama that the only people claiming NI aickneaebenefit WI11 be those not ●ntitled to SSP. Some employers enhancethe baaic Statutory Sick Pay eo that full usual pay is received bythe employee, some enhance SSP to a proportion of ueual pay, eg75%, and some pay only the baaic 55P.
centinued
1
(53b)
At Q6, those who say they haven’t received any pay for their last payperiod may have received only Statutory Sick Pay or StatutoryMaternity Pay (SMP) and they should ba coded 3.
If, however, the infowant will not (ever) receive any pay or SSP orSMP for the moat recent pay period, please ring precede 4 and explainthe reaaon: eg informant is now unempleyed and wil1 receive nopaylsick paytmaternity pay from employer. All such situations shouldbe probad and explained fully.
Statutory Maternity Pay
Employers are now responsible for the payment of Statutory Maternity pay (SMP) toemployees who satisfy the necessary conditions. SMP replaces maternity pay (whichwas paid by employers and later refunded by the Department of Employment) andmaternity allowance (paid by DHSS). Women who cannot get SMP can still qualify formaternity allowance.
SMP works very ❑uch like Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) except that SMP cannot be paidfor more than 18 weeks but may be paid for a shorter period.
It is possible for a woman coded unemployed or economically inactive to berecaivi~ SMP. As long as an employee satisfies the qualifying conditions SMP ispayable, even if her contract of employment ends at the start of her maternityabeence or whilst SMP is being paid. If such cases arise you should record the SMPat Q48 code 8.

Qs 9, 12,13 and 15
Q 10a
Q 14
Please record details of Statutory Sick Pay or Statutory MaternityPay at Qe 8-16.
It 18 very important to try to get your informant to refer to acurrent pay slip, but where a pay slip is not to hand, it may beimpossible to obtain answers to all or some of Qe 9-15. If thishappens, note ‘DK’ tiythe relevant que8tions and concentrate onobtaining an answer to Q16, which must be answered.
The double lines around the boxes at Qa 8, 16 and 20 mean thatthese items are ●specially important and you ❑ust, therefore, doyour utmost to avoid a ‘don’t know’ anawer at them. If necasaary,obtain an estimate, or even a guess, rather than leava thequestlona unanswered.
Tipa might not be shown on pay alipa but should be included inamounts at Qs 8 and 16. Any non-taxable allowances or expensesshould not be included.—
If the informant haa only recently started the job and has not yetreceived any wagefsalary, explain this in a note and give anestimate of what he expects to receive.
Pleaaa make sure that you do not miss out the ‘Nothing .,.0 ‘codaa if there were no deductions.
The box for entering the amount of tax refund haa deliberatelybean positioned in the ~entre of tha page becauae the amountentared here will already have been included in take-home pay andwe do nnt want it double-cnunted at the computing stage. Naitherdo we want it double-counted when you check that take-home payplus deductions ●quala groaa,pay (see Q 17 below).
Here we have introduced a new question abnuc the government’stax-frea payroll giving scheme which allowa employees to makecharitable donations. These donationa are deducted from theirwages tefore tax.
\9
(55)
Q 16 You must always ask this question and not obtain an answer just byadding boxes I-V~ If an informant does not have a pay slip tohand and says he does not know his groaa pay, encourage him togive an estimate, explaining that his guess la likely to be betterthan anyone else’s. Do check that if a tax refund has beenentered at Q 10(a), the gross pay includes that amount.
Q 17 We are asking you to check that take-home pay (amount at I, Q8)plus all deductions (amounts at 11, 111, IV, V, VI and VII) addsto gross pay. Please record at (a) in Q 17 the total you get byadding amounts I-VII. If there is a difference of more than S1between your total and the amount recorded at Q 16 (gross pay),code Y at (b). Then check all the individual amounts with your.informant,and amend if an error is found. If the amounts thenagree, code X at (b)(i). If your informant estimated any or allof the various amounts you should still try to get agreementbetween your (rounded) total and his (estimated) gross pay. If,after checking, there is still a discrepancy, pleaae ring code Yat (b)(i) and try to explain the discrepancy, saying which, ifany, of the figures are most likely to be accurate.
Q 18 Pay slips more than 3 calendar months out of date should general1yPAY 8L1P not have been consulted to estimate last time’s pay. If, however,CODE your Informnt had assured you that last time’s pay wae the same
as that on the out-of-date pay slip, and the pay slip waa referredto in answering Qs 2-16, ring code 2.~therwise code 2 should beused only when a pay slip no more than 3 calendar months out ofdate, was available and was consulted in order to estimate lasttime’s pay.

Q 20 In most cases, Q 20 should be straightforward. If an informantqueries what we mean by ‘ucually ’, it is since the last change incircumstances affecting his pay (eg since his last pay rise/sincehe started this job etc). If thare la still difficulty inobtaining an amount ‘usually’received, ask for the average amountreceived,
Note:
i. If bonue/overtima payments are usually received, theyshould be included in usual way.
ii. If the informant la on short-time, the amountrecorded aa usual pay should be the amount usually earnedbefore short-time working began.
iii. Seasonal workere: record the amount earned in thecurrent eeaaon and the period it covers.
iv. If the informant’a pay variee for a specific number ofweeka in the year (eg school workera on lower pay duringholiday time) note the amounts and the periods.
Q 20(a) Code all that apply. Where advance holiday pay has been includedin laat time’s pay, specify the number of workin~ days it coveredat code 01.
Code 02 la restricted to tax refunda, and cases where less taxthan usual was paid Iaet time. If last time’s p.ey was=ferentfrom usual pay becauae more tax wae paid, ring code 07 andspecify.

(57)
Q 21 Occasional (ie irregular) bonuses, and bonuses paid periodicallybut not received with every wage or salary, should be includedhere.
Q 21a(ii) Only actual mney Income should bs recorded here: exclude incomein kind (non-monetarygifts) and vouchers (eg holiday vouchers).
Note that the amount to be entered is the total amount received inthe last 12 months.
Q 21a(lv) l’hisqueStiOn asks only for the amount of bonus, if any, which isincluded in the usual take-home pay at Q 20 or Q8 if last time’spay was usual.

Earnings from self-employment (Qs 22, 23 s 24)
Q 23 Note: Use the alternative wording (in box) to record earnings=re tax in the last 12 months for certain groups of peoplecoded eelf _empleyed in the Employment section:-
1. Neil-order agents, baby-aittera ●tc.
2. People who are self-employed but receive a weeklywage, have tax deducted at 27% but pay own N.I. stamp.These are mainly cub-contracted builders or constructionworkers.
Remember: director~ of limited companies are employees and hencetheir income should not be recorded here.
If a person is self-employed within a partnership, check that theanswer at Q23 refers only to the informant‘a share of the businessand does not include his/her partner’s share of the profits. Takeparticular care in husband-and-wife partnerships (and especiallywhen taking a joint interview) that each partner’s share of theprofits is recorded on his/her own schedule, and that the totalprofit from the business is not shown on both schedules, but isdivided between them.
Remember that Q23 refers to the most recent 12 months for whichfigures are available. If the figures relate to a period longerago than two years, note in addition the informant’s best guese oftheir net profit for the most recent tax year, or that no profitwas made.
Those in business six mnths but less than 12 months. ask for anestimate of what their annual profit is likely co be, and mark thefigure as an ●stimate ‘E’.
,,
Q 24(c) Include money ploughed back into the buaineae as profit.
( 59)
Q 25 Persons who are self-employedusually pay a flat-rate NationalInsurance contribution (Class 2) and, if the profits from theirbusiness are sufficientlyhigh, they pay an additionalprofits-relatedcontribution (Class 4). The latter is paid directto the Inland Revenue with their tax and amounts to 6.3% ofprofita between i4,590 and 115,340 (as at April 1987).
At Q 25a(i) make sure that you record the amount of theprofits-related contribution only (NOT the full NI contribution);flat rate NI contributfona are known. (At the time of writing theflat rate NI contribution was E3.85 a week.)
Earninga from secondfoccaaionaljobs (Qs 27-32)
QS 27-32 These questions ask about any earned incoma from second,occasional or odd jobs, done regularly or from time to time.
Q 27 Those with a main job last week should ba saked whether they earnany money from a second job, from odd jobs or from work that theydo from time to time , apart from that main job.
Those with no (main) job laat week should be aaked about any oddjoba done etc (ie exclude the phraaes in bracketa).
If the informant does more than one occasional/odd job, or hassecond and third joba, record details of the most remunerative jobonly: DO NOT record details of all jobs, or total income from alls.
Include any kind of income that is the result of the informant’sexpenditure of time and/or effort - eg fees for professionaladvice, director’s fees, income from a regular second job, or fromcaaual work done for friends or neighboura, or income from thesale of items madelproduced by the informant. But note that theremust be an actual income, however small, from the activity:payment in kind (eg board and lodging in return forchild-minding)does not count; nor shnuld you include transactionsbetween household me~rs unless the informant is a psid servant.If in doubt as to whether an activity/incoue should be included atQ27, make ful1 notea of the clrcumstances and ask the dependentqueationa as appropriate.
Q 27(a) Proba for industry only if it aeema appropriate; for most jobaidentified here (baby-sitting,mail order agent ccc) it ia notnecessary.

More information about state benefits, including details of eligibility and amountsof benefit, is in the DHSS booklet, ‘Which Benefit?1 a COPY of which you shouldhave.
Qs 33 h 34 i. A weekly rete is required here,
General ii. If an imformant is eligible for benefit but has not yetpointe received a payment , make a note and, outeide the boxee, record the
amnunt g/he ●xpects to receive (if known), and the period it tiIIcover, if other than a week.
iii. Hake a note if the informant tells you that the laet paymentreceived was for an unueual amount (eg because it contained backpeymente ) and try to find out what the ueual weekly amount wouldbe. —
iv. Income Bupport ehould be excluded from any other bnefit withwhich it ie paid ●nd ehown eeparetely at Q.33(d). If perwioners eaythat they receive en income support peneioner’s premium and NIretirement pension but are unable to separate the two amounta,please code both items Q33(c) & Q33(d) aa ‘Yea’ and ●nter the totalamount received at source Q33(c), with an explanatory note. Thecame appliea to income eupport benefit received with any other NIbenefit.
Q 33(a) Child benefit: this should normally be shown on the mother ‘a scheduleunless there is no ❑other in the household. Record the total amountreceived for all her children. This benefit is now generally paid 4week]y. Remember to give the weekly rate.
Q 33a(i) one-parent benefit (formerly called one-parent increase). this questionaPPliea only to those in receipt of child benefit. One-parent benefitla in addition to the basic child benefit, and la paid to one-parentfamilies. Ae with child benefit, remember to give the weekly rate.
Q 33(b) Family Credit (formerly called.FIS). this benefit la paid to familieswith low ●arninga with at leaac one dependent child and with at leaatone earner working 24 houra a week or more. Family Credit replacesFamily Income Supplement. Family Credit is paid for 26 weeka, unlikeFIS which was paid for 52 weeks, after which time the family’s situationie reviewed.
FIS wi11 come to an ●nd whan Family Credic la introduced in April 1988.From April 1987, FIS claim will receive an award conaieting of FIS upto the ●nd of March 1988 and Family Credit thereafter, to make up anaward period of 12 mmthe. Family Credit will be aaeeaad on theinformation provided for the FIS Claim and will nearly alwaya be higherthan FIS. In the few caaee where it la not, the higher rate of FIS wil1centinue to ba paid until the 12 mcnth period of award corneato an ●nd.It ie poeeible therefore for an informant to still be receiving FISafter April 1988, but there should be very few euch caees.
Q 33(c) NI retirement peneion: for married couples, if the wife la aged 60 orover, her pension allowance should be shown on her schedule; if the wifela aged under 60, and therefore not entitled to a pension in her ownright, the full amount of the ~nsion receivad ehould be shown on thehusband’s schedule only.

Q 33(f) Unemployment benefit: Note that unemployment benefit is now paidfortnightly, but the weekly rate should be recorded. If theinformant has never worked or has been unemployed for longer thanone year, check that it is unemployment benefit (and not, forexample, income support) that they are receiving. If it isunemployment benefit note on the schedule that it has beenchecked and any relevant information.
Q 34 For each benefit received ring 1 and record the current weeklyamount.
Q 34(a)(b) Widow’s pension-or War Widowls penSiOn and other widow’s benefits

War Widowvs pension is paid to widows (or widowers) of people whodie aa a result of service in the armed forces.
Other widow’s benefits include widowed mother’s allowance:widowed mother’sallowance is now paid immediately afterbereavement rather than 6 months after bereavement. The personalextension of widowed mother’s allowance payable to women withchildren aged 16 to 19 who have left school but are still at homehas been discontinued.

Q 45
Q 45
Q46&47
.,, —-—.
This queetion ia addresaed to all women becauae aoma non~arried womenreceive maintenance payments from a previous partner or father of theirchild.
In most casea maintenance is paid directly by a former husband or partner,but it may also be paid via a solicitor, a court, or the DHSS. If it ispaid by the DHSS check whether it has been included in any SupplementaryBenefit already mentioned and make a note.
Code ‘Yea’ only if the informant ia currently receiving maintenance,alimony, or separation allowance. DO not code aa ‘Yea‘ women who say thattheir payments have stopped or those who have never received a paymenteven though a court order haa been made. If a woman says that ahe isreceiving maintenance there ia no need to eatabliah when the last paymentwas made.
Use the wording in brackets only if there are children resident in thehousehold. Payments made to children who are not members of the householdshould not be included.
Payments for an ex-wife and her children can be paid together orseparately. They will probably consist of different amounts and may bepaid with different frequencies. If a payment ia made regularly, egweekly or calendar monthly, code that period as how long the paymentcovered at Q47. For more erratic paymenta, find out how long the lastpayment was supposed to cover. Write in the periods on the dotted lines.
Example: ‘He’s supposed to pay s12.25 per week but he’s alwaysbehind in the payments. The last payment was E24.50,that was two weeks‘ worth together.
At Q 46 laat payment - E24.50At Q 47 period covered - 2 weeks
If the person ~ currently receiving payments but not aa frequently as aheshould do and some of the payments are actually never made, make notes onactual frequency of payment.
The amount received should be the amount after any tax haa been deductedat source. Maintenance (or alimnny) can be taxed In either of thefollowing ways:
1. The (ex)apouse is taxed on his income, including the part hepays aa maintenance, and the informant ia not liable for any furthertax on the maintenance fiaymentshe receives,
2. Tbe (ex)spouae claims tax relief on the maintenance he pays andthe informant is then liable for any tax due. Since she may receivethe maintenance via a solicitor, a court, or the DHSS, rather thandirectly from her (ex)apouae, it ia poaaible that the tax for whichahe is liable is deducted before she receives the payment.

RSCALL CARD
One of the important developments in the use of the GHS is the facility it provides foridentifying special populetione - such ae private rentere or the elderly - which arevery expensive to locate in a new sampling operation. It is likely that the GHS will beincreasingly ueed as a sampling fra!w for other surveys. Its usefulness is ●nhanced ifint●rviewere working on any such follow-up survey can identify the correct individual tointerview at an address so you should ask for the names and initiale of all ❑embere ofthe household aged 16 and over. However, its usefulness as a aampling frame is severelylimited if there is no recall card for large numbers of people, so it la vitallyimportant that you make ●very effort to record namea (and telephone numbers) at everyhousehold. You should complete a recall card for each household coded 10 or 21-24 (iefor ●ach completely or partially co-operating household). Pleaae remember to complete arecall card ●ven if incoum haa been refused.
A different colour recall card will be used for each quarter of the year.
1. Ycu should normally complete the recall card after all household members haveco-operated. However, this may not alwaya be poaaible and, since Q1 covers allpersona aged 16 or over, you should direct it to a responsible member of thehousehold (normally the HOH or the person who gave you most of the information onthe Household Schedule). Lb not make a special journey to ask this question.
If informsnta seem to have a neutral attitude you may code this aa ‘Yes, it wouldbe all right‘ (code 1), but if they qualify their answer in some way, ring code 3and record their qualification at Q5 overleaf.
If the recall question la refused please give full detaila of why and what waseaid at Q6 on the reverse aide of the recall card.

able way of making an appointment, ao please ask for che tel●phone number whereQl(i) is coded 1. Record the name of the exchange rather than the S2Tlcode.
For households coded 1 or 3 at Q1, enter at 2 the Person number, prefix, surnameand initial(s) of each member of the household aged 16 or over. Enter thisinformation carefully, one letter in each box.
Exclude frm 2 anyone who indicetea (or on whose behalf the responsible personindicatee) that, even though other mambera of the household ara willing to bereulled on, he or she la not. [
At 3, if the addrese 1S in any way different from that given on the Address List,or If ya can give any further information that might help the follow-up interviewer, ring code 1 and enter the details.
If any of the household members are tmving and are willing to be recalled on, code1 at Q4 ad ●nter the new addresa and the approximate date of the move. In theceee of a household aplittimg and cwNing to different addreaaes, give Perannnumbers as well as both new addresaes.
