The asset questions Qs85-93 will not be asked Of all FES HOuSehOldB. Only those
households in which a married CU@a ~ other individual whose estimated total
assets are within the range of El ,000-s10,000 will b eligibla to be asked Qs85-93.
W- estimate that only one in four hmuseholda will fall in this range. Where a
married couple or individual has asaets of less than Al,000 or more than 210.000
they will ha= been filtered out at (p4.
1) The first step (s93) is to proqt the liquid assets which are to beincludad in
tha clef inition. This is done by reference back to tha follcwing item cm the
household and incomn schedule-, or ty using a spare copy of page 58 (from pad
of continuation pages) and ticking relevant items as investment income
questions are asked.

2) The next step is to ask Qss5-93 which are opinion questions about the total
value of the aaaets (or holding=). It ia not necaaaary for the informant to
aaarch out records; howe%er do not discourage them.
Accounts and investments held Q93
Tick the type of account or inwat-nt held.
Note that for childran under 16 you will need to check at QE 1 (page 55) for any
mention of investment income and at Q82 (pagea 56 and 57) for any National Savings
holdings. We do not kn- if children han bank or giro accountn.

spenders or father or mXher abut a child under 16. (Do not intarviaw children
under 16).
If tha rnlua of asaeta is moro than 61,000 and laas than 610,000 then QsE5-93 are
aakad aa relevant. IT IS IMPORTANT TO STSJISS Tt-IATASSETS AFCf RESTRICTED TO THE
