Statistical Society, Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX
This meeting, organised by the Economic and Social Data Service, will provide a forum for data users and producers to meet and discuss new developments and exchange information about the General Household Survey (GHS)/General Lifestyle Survey (GLF).
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) are undertaking a consultation on the future of the General Household Survey/General Lifestyle Survey (GHS/GLF). This is a vitally important consultation as the survey series will be discontinued if users do not indicate an overriding need for the survey. The consultation is open for 12 weeks until 6 May 2011. There will be an opportunity to make your voice heard on the future of the survey at this meeting.
