Notes: 1. 2005 data include last quarter of 2004-05 data due to survey change from financial year to calendar year. 2. Trend tables show unweighted and weighted figures for 1998 to give an indication of the effect of the weighting. Bases for earlier years can be found in General Household Survey (GHS) reports for each year. Source: GHS, 2005. Office for National Statistics.
