i. If code 09 (Mixed Origin) is ringed but there is no written
answer, and one or more of codes 01-08 is also ringed, treat this
as Mixed Origin. Cross through codes 01-08 that are ringed and use
this information to code Mixed Origin as appropriate.
eg Codes 03 (Indian), 07 (African) and 09 ringed, recode to
code 21 (African/Asian mix)
Codes 02 (West Indian) and 09 ringed, recode to code 23
(Miscellaneous “coloured””).
ii. If ~1 is multi-coded with another code treat as ‘mixed‘ and
recode accordingly.
iii. In all other cases where two or mere codes are ringed, accept
the first code ringed and cross through other codes.
eg. codes 04 and 10 ringed, cross through code 10
6. If coded 09 or IO, do not recode answers into codes 01-08
Examine the verbatim and recode into 11-33 accordingly
7. Recoding to “WHI.TE”from 09-10 - if on examining the answer recorded
at 09 Or 10 the ethnic origin falls within the category described as
‘“WHITE’”(see notea on categories at Ethnic Origin) - RECODE TO 11
8. Seceding to “’BLACK” from 09 or 10 - if on examining the answer

~ of acccsmnodstionoccu ied b this household
Applies”to all.
Check that ONE precede (1-0) has been ringed.
What is required is the type of household space occupied by the household, N~ the
‘acccmunodation’as such - ie where the household occupies only part of a house it is
that part which should be coded here.
Where 1-5 hag been coded check back on Qns. 2-8 and 9 in the Present Acconunodation
section and, if any room is sublet or shared. codes 1-5 can not apply. If this has
happened DELETE the precede and recode as 7 (unless evidence= a lift, in which caae
recode 6 ).
Blanks should be checked against other information on the schedule in case they can
be made good. If not, leave blank.
Recode ‘other’ answers if possible, if not, leave in O (no need to specify) .

InfoxTnatiOn here may show that the building was previously used for non
residential pur~se$. If so check back to Present Accommodation Qn . 1 and make
sure that the date coded there is that of the original building, not of the
conversion.
Code 1 includes cases where the accrmunodation is linked by a garage only.
BtuIgalowS, including prefabs should be treated as a whole house and coded 1, z
or 3.
Lifts used for transporting goods should bs excluded.
Farms should be coded as follows, if the interviewer has msde notes.
If outbuildings are attached or some rooms are used for business purposes use
code B.
If not, cc-de as appropriate into males 1, 2 or 3.
If not pOssible to recode, because the information is not given, leave in code
o.
Code 8 does not apply to ordinary living acccsamodation w%ich happsns to be used
for business purposes eg a room used as an office. Nor does it apply when the
business prsmises have no connection with any member of the household’s
occupation. Refer doubtful cases to S/V.
code 8 covers those places where there is access between the private and
business psrts without going outside the building.
Fr~ February 1 1985 inns, public houses and hotels with fewer than four
boarders, will become eligible addresees. Interviewers have baen asked to
sp=cifY the tYPe Of accomodatiOn and to ring the appropriate code, usually code
8.
All year list the serial number, the cde, the specified answer and Qns 20, 21

The RU covers Business Premises ●nd more than one household
Abate the Gross and Rateable Value# by one third, so that they cover only
the private part of the unit, and appertion the ramaining tim thirds
according to the nunber of roums occupied by each household.
i. Note that the address and rateable unit are not necessary the came, and It
does not follow autonmtically that GV and RV should be broken down because the
. is more than one household at the address. For ●xsmple, if the ratesble unit i
described an ‘Fiaisonette’, and the type of acccaunodation coded 4 or 5 & ‘Yes’
coded above Present Accommodation @. 9 for household 1, and the same for
household 2, then the rateable unit amount should not be reduced for either
household. However, should you have doubts about the mtervlewer’s treatment
a multl-household ratesbla unit th~s should be queried with S/V.
The Lnstructlons for coding cover all SIMPLE CASES, AND THOSE WHERE THE ADDRES
AND THE RU ARE THE SAME. More complicated situ.stlons, eg where the RU and the
address are dlf ferent, or where there is any other complication, may need to b
decided on an ad hoc bas~s. Refer any such cases to the 6upsrv1sor.
ii. ihen cal.nlatmg the apportionment of the GV/RV in multi-household rateable
mlts, rooms deleted at Qn. 7 should not be excluded fran the calculation. As
the purpose of re-allocation lS to ob~n a breakdown of rateable value which
roughly in proprtlon to the acccmunodstlon occupied by ●ach selected household
the sune of all parts (ie tha Gross/ wteable Value of all households in a
multi-household rateable unit) ehould never be leas than the whole of the
Gross/Rateable Value for the whole unit. unfortunately this cannot be checked
unless all the sampled households m the rateable unit are coded at the same
time.
iii. Bathrmms should be ●xcluded from the calculation. (Bathrooms are excluded at
P QTI. 9 and there fore un many cases ws will not know the total number of bsthroo
in the rateable unit. )
iv. occasionally the values cannot be obtained, ●g for Crown property, for large
concerns such as university buildings, for new buildings not yet rated etc. A
a last resort the Rateable Value may be calculated by allowing S40 per room, —
fran which the GV can be obtained.
v. If the RU is a caravan or houseboat which is not rated separately and the tota
number of caravans on the site is not known, code NV as L25, GV aa JA5. If,
however, the rnnnber of caravans ia known, divide the total RVe for the site by
the number of caravans and code accordingly.

Check the validity of the answer at (d) as follows -
If Q3B is coded 1 - use the year at Q3(c) and the year at Q1 to
work out how long the spell between living with the parents and
becoming an LA tenant lasted. If the number of years at (d) is
greater than the calculated spell, refer to S/V.
If Q3(b) is coded 2 - establish the year in which the informant

lasted. If the number of years at (d) is greater than the
calculated spell, refer to S/V.
Q4-6 Discounts depend ok the total length of tima during which the
tenant has rented from any local authority. It does not have to
be cont~nuous. We need to know about any spells, since the date

discrepancy) .
NOtt?: The time between two periods in an Lr+ tenancy should count as only one
spell, even if there have baen other changes of tenure during that —
time, eg if someone had an LA house, then rented privately, then went
abroad, then lived in his parents’ owner-occupied house, and then
rented again frcm an LA, this wou .d count as one spell not rer.ting

If the number of SpellS is greater than the total at Q5 enter NA code
9 in enough columns to reconcile the discrepancy. (Code NAS at parts

Qs 1,la & la(~) Treatmant of YTS and YOPS participants
Since the middle of 1963 YOP schemes have been phased out and
replaced by the more extensive Youth Tralnlng Scheie (YI!S). Some
people nay still bs con!pletlngtheir YOP achame in the first
quarter of 1985, in which case they should be treated as YfS
participants.
Youth Tralnlng Schemes WL1l vary. They WI1l initially focus on
unemployed 16 year olds and will provide a year’s integrated
programne of training, educat~on and work experience. Most of the
echemes WI1l be mn, t by the MSC ~t by mnaging agents
coor&natlng contributions from employers, colleges, ●tc.
Allowances of =6.25 (-s30 ) WI1l bs m-t cmnmon though sore WI1l
earn uore. The systsm for paying tiis allowance w1ll vary.
In about two-th~r~ of the schemes the ‘~oung person WI1l work at an
employers but will receive a nunimum of 3 months t~ainlng in the
year, some or all of which may be at a college. In about a third
of the schemes the person WI1l spend most of the year on a course
at a College of Further Educatlori‘or other ●durational
establlshm.nt. They w1ll usually spend sone tine gaining work
eTerlence with an employer.
GHS Class lflcatlon
In 1983 all YOP participants were treated as econonucally lnactlve
m the GHS and were coded 6 at Q1 .
In 1984 the GHS questioning procedure both YTS and YOP participants
was brought In line with that used In the 1984 LFS.
For 1985 the treatment of YTS participants WI1l change on both the

Q2(a)
$yestioning and Coding Procedure
The aim is to treat the YTS much the same as other informants. A
young persnn on YTS may be coded 1, 3, 4, 5 or 6 at Q1, Ql(.a)or
Q1.s(i). Generally a 16-lCIyr old’s answer at Q1 and Ql(a) will be
accepted.
So, Code 1 should be ringed if the person answers:
‘Yes’ or ‘Yes .. (and mentions being on YTS last week).‘
If the ~erson answers: ‘No’ or ‘No... (and mntions being on YTS
Last week)‘, then the interviewer should ask Qla(i) then one of
codes 3-6 should bs ringed.
Interviewers sh~ld probe further only if the p?rsons does not
include ‘ es ‘ or ‘No’ in their answer but says they were on YTS
last week. Then, if they were with an employer last week code 1
should bs ringed, or if they were at college last week and the
person did not do any paid work or have a paid job as well as being
on YTS last week then Qla(i ) should be asked and ercof CO*S 3-6
ringed.
This is for 16-19 year olds to discover whether or not they were on
YTS last week.
Include people away from YTS temporarily because of illness ,
holiday or other reason.
If an informant was both with an employer and at college last week,
give priority to code 1 ie employer based. If the YTS
participant was ill or away from the schsme for another reason, the
usual place of training should be coded.
People on YT?Swith an employer last week are treated as working
last week and so questions about their main job (Employment Qs 3-2.2

US1ng the Classification of Occupations 1980, code the JOB

NA/Inadequately described. ...... 999.
If the information given is inadequate to code to 3 digit level
but SEG could be established, refer to S/V (FLAG).
Using the Standard Industrial Classification, revised 1980,
code the INDUSTRY, using the frame which follows.
1. Do not overcode into the Professional Classes where there is insufficient
evidence that an informant belongs there. Sometimes interviewers record a
person as, a ‘qualified engineer’ but he may in fact be a manual type of
engineer. Check in any case of doubt with education and income and, if
necessary, refer to SIT.
2. Catholic Priests: If the household is a 1clergy house - where one Or mDre
Roman Catholic Priests live (often looked after by a housekeeper) WITHDF.W
FROM THE SAMPLE . Refer to RO if the priest says he is receiving a salary.
3. Armed Forces Reserve: If income is received for this it should be treated as a
main or subsidiary job, whichever applies. If the income ia merely a retainer
do NOT treat as a job. Check with the Income Section - payment for training
is at equivalent ordinary service rates and should be regarded as payment for
a job.
Retainers are paid out in lump sums - if you are in any doubt refer to S/V.
4. If a person holds more than one job concurrently, the main job should & coded
at Q3 as follows -
Identify the rmin job by either taking the most remunerative, ox fai11n9 fiat,
take the most time consuming. (The income from the second job should appear
at Income Q13) .
If the informant has given his hours and income from both jobs combined axd
the main job cannot be identified, code the job with the highest Social Class
code.
Then the SIC(R) should be coded according to the job chosen to code OCC.
(The total hours worked and income from both jobs will be coded at Q6A/B and
the Income Section).
NB. (i) Working as a domestic help, jobbing gardener etc for several
people concurrently does not count as more than 1 job.
(ii) Sub post masters - see Emp/Se 1f Emp note 5.

Q3(a) IF EMPLOYEE: manager/foremen/supervisor/otheremployee.
Applies if Emp/Self OMpl. coded 1.
The distinction between managere, foremen/supervisors,●nd other employees
is important but eometimea difficult.
‘Umagera * are generally responsible for long-term planning and
heve overall control often through foremen or supervisors.
‘Foremen” and ‘supervisors’ have day-to-day control of a group of
workers whom they supervise directly, sometimes themselves doing
some of the work they supervise.
Job titles can be a useful indication of level of responsibility but can
also be misleading eg a ‘playground supervisor’ supervises children, not
employees, and so should not be coded a supervisor.
—
In general accept the precede ringed and code OCC accordingly. Only
disregard and therefore change the precede ringed if there is evidence in
the job title or description (either on the schedule or in the
classification book) that the original code is incorrect.
If blank use code 3 if it would then be possible to code OCC, otherwise use
NA code 9.
Q3a(i) Number of employees in the establishment
Applies as (a).
It is the size of the establishment at the address where the informant
works which is required here eg of ICI factory, not all of ICI.
If blank and it would be possible to code OCC, code as follows -
1-24 employees ...................................6
25 or more employees ..............................7
otherwise use NA code 9.
Q3(b) Number of Employees
Excluded from the total nuder of employees should be:
any relative who is a member of the informant’s household
any partners in a partnership (as they would also be self-employed) .

Note that claiming benefit is not the same as &awing it so
Code 1 may be ringad at Q.23 thougbm l.h~loyuent Benefit is
being received eg a claim in the previous week may have later
been disallowed or the outconw of the claim is still unkn~n.
Unemployment benefit is normally paid fortnightly, so code 1
aPPlies at Q.23 if the persOn’a claim co~e~e~ last week, even
though it may not have been made last week.
Some unemployed people are not eligible for unemployment
benefit (eg they may not have paid enough NI cent ributions or
they may already have received unemployment benefit for 12
months, or have earnings from part-time work etc) . If they
are looking for work and are available for work they can,
hcwever, claim supplementary allowance/benefit from the DHSS.
Also, those not eligible for these benefits can still claim
credits for their NI contributions.
People can get supplementary allowance and/or NI credits for
many reasons, of which being unemployed is only one. It is
important to include in code 1 at Q.23 only those claiming
th~ough an Unemployment Benefit OfflCe.
(NB They will be required to attend the UBO fortnightly, or
per~aps quarteriy ).
If a person receives unemployment benefit and supplementary
allowance, code 1 at Q.23 should be ringed.
In cases where a person is uncertain it is unemplo~ent
benefit or supplementary allowance that they receive, the
interviewer should have found out at which office they made
their claim and noted if it was a UBO then code 1 should be
ringed at Q.23 rather than at part (al.
Note re men aged 60-64
— .
From April 1983, the regulations about signing on at UBO’ s
have changed for unen’ployed m!n aged 60-64. h unemployed man
aged 60-64 will have to sign on at a UBO to receive
unemployment benefit. If, however, he is not eligible for
unemployment benefit, but is claiming supplementary benefit
and/or NI credits (as an unemployed person) , he will not have
to sign on at a UBO and so should be coded ‘none of th~ at
Q23(a).
Note re registration
Since October 1982, those aged 18 and over claiming benefits
or credits via an UBO are no longer also required to register
for work a: a Jobcentre. Those aged :6-17, however, a~e still
required to register at a Careers Office.

house. Recode to 5 if the person is “ot likely to be
keeping house at all, nor helping to keep house.

To avoid duplication:
Scumtimea the doctor may see only a relative of the patient, and not the ~tlent
himself, and therefore the visit Should be coded only on the relative‘a schadule
(if in the household). However, where a doctor visits a house and exammes a
patient and, at the same visit, talks to another member of the household about
the patient, the vis~hould be shown only on the schedule of the patient.
Treat ●a 2 visits:
Where the doctor saw, ●ay, two paople at the same visit, eg a mother and child,
only the mother’a v~sit should be coded here and the child’s should ba enter●d

Check the smounts racorded at ~s. 4-8 with the SSP sect~on of the ‘Which

Sear in mind that employers rmcysnhance SSP so that the employee receives full

L?d
c. Nil pounds equals O.
d. Ignore fractiona of pence.

2. Accuracy of information
Interviewers are attempting to collect accurate information. Similarly PAB wil1
code only that information which seams to ba the most accurate end reliable. To
achieve this us need to examine @s 4-8 (also @s. 2 and 3) as .swhole. Certain
conditions will be applied and on this basis the answers at @s. 4-0 will be
accepted or rejected.
3. Pey Slip Code
To provide us with a means of determining the accuracy of information given at
QIIS. 4-8, we need to check the coding at the pay slip code.
a. Consulted for correct date
‘lMs means that the pay slip was consulted for the date that the informant
was last paid ie the date at Qn. 1.
b. Consulted for a different date
‘fhismeans that the pay slip consulted was an old one up to three calendar
months ago and was used to estimate last times pay, eg by adding on any
increases that have occurred since the date of the old pay slip.
c. If a pay slip more than three calendar months ago was available, it should
not have been consulted unless the informant is certain that no charge has
~urred since that time, in which case they are treated as ‘Different
Date’ .

general principle of coding Qns. 4-8 is:

1. Deductions will only be coded where the correct/acceptable pay slip was
seen and there are no omissions. Therefora points 2 and 3 below only
apply where the appropriate pay slip was seen and there are no omissions.
2. where deductions from earnings are not given in full only take home pay
and gross earnings will be accepted~d coded.
3. Where deductions are given in full a check will be made to establish
—
whether take home pay plus deductions equals the gross earnings.
a. If they do or there is an acceptable discrepancy all figures will
be accepted and coded. ~ acceptable discrepancy between the gross
pay and the total of the take home pay plus deductions is one which
is up to and including 5% of the take home pay. ieif T+ D#G,
and the discrepancy is up to and including 59 of T the figures at
@s. 4-8 are accepted and coded.
If the take hmns pay plus deductions equal the gross pay, the
figures at @s. 4-8 are accepted and coded.
b. If they do not and there is an unacceptable discrepancy the figures
for take home pay will be accepted and coded. The gross earnings
will bs the sum of the take home pay plus deductions, therefore the
original gross figure must be amended and the deductions deleted.
w unacceptable discrepancy is~ ~ch take home Py plus
deductions do not equal gross pay and the discrepancy is more than
59 of the take home pay.
