Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 9 July 2007;
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about how many mothers are in employment. I am replying in her absence. (148462)
Estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) show that in the three months ending June 2006, there were 4.84 million working-age mothers in employment who had dependent children. Dependent children are defined as children aged under 16 and those aged 16-18 who are never-married and in full-time education. As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty.
