Letter from Glen Watson, dated March 2014:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills asking what steps he is taking to ensure the accuracy of the figures for zero-hour contracts in the Labour Force Survey. (193442)
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) information on zero-hours contracts currently comes from a question regarding flexible working. People in employment are asked what variable working arrangements, if any, they have and to select from a list which has “zero-hours contract” as an option. The results from the LFS therefore depend on respondents recognising correctly their employment contract type.
To address this ONS is currently working to produce an employer based estimate of the number of jobs where the contract does not guarantee a minimum number of hours (sometimes referred to as “zero-hour contracts”). This will provide a robust estimate of the number of jobs with this type of contract.
At end April 2014 ONS plans to produce a comprehensive report, bringing together estimates from the employer based survey alongside data from the LFS, and considering the definitional differences that exist.
Alongside this ONS is also developing and testing new questions for the Labour Force Survey regarding the guaranteed contracted hours of employees, which will identify those who have no guaranteed hours. If testing is successful, the new questions will be introduced to the LFS from January 2015, as this is the month when annual changes are made to the LFS questionnaire.

Letter from Caron Walker:
In the absence of the Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking what recent assessment he has made of the level of underemployment. (902867)
Time-related underemployment is defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as occurring where the number of hours of work for an employed person is insufficient, and that the person is willing to engage in more work and is not already working more than a specified number of hours.
Other forms of underemployment exist, such as that related to the underutilisation of people's skills and qualifications. However, estimates of these are not currently available.
Based on the ILO definition and the data available, employed people (aged 16 or over) are classified as in time-related underemployment if:
they are willing to work more hours because they want an additional job, a replacement job with longer hours, or want more hours in their current job;
they are available to start working longer hours within 2 weeks and;
the hours they worked in the reference week did not exceed 40 hours (if they are under 18 years of age) or 48 hours (if they are over 18 years of age).
Estimates for the number of underemployed workers are available from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). It is estimated that, for the period October to December 2013, there were 3.125 million people who met the criteria to be classified as underemployed. This is 10.5% of employed population. These estimates are not seasonally adjusted.
As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty. It is estimated that the true value is likely to lie between 2.983 million and 3.267 million.

As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking what estimate he has made of the number of people employed on zero-hour contracts in (a) Wirral, (b) Merseyside and (c) the North West. 157347
Estimates of the number of people on zero-hours contracts are available from the Labour Force Survey, but due to insufficient sample size are not available for Wirral, Merseyside or the North West.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles labour market statistics for UK regions & local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS), following International Labour Organisation (ILO) definitions. However, estimates of the number of people employed on zero-hours contracts are not available from this source.

Letter from Glen Watson, dated December 2012:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the average life expectancy was in (a) Wirral South constituency, (b) Wirral and (c) Merseyside in each of the last five years (135287).
Life expectancy figures for parliamentary constituencies are not readily available. However, figures are available for Wirral local authority and Merseyside metropolitan county.
Life expectancy figures are calculated as three year rolling averages. The table below provides the period life expectancy at birth for males and females in Wirral local authority and Merseyside metropolitan county from the period 2000-2002 to 2008-2010 (the latest figures available).
Period life expectancies at birth for males and females for all local authority districts, unitary authorities and counties in England and Wales, for rolling three-year periods from 1991-1993 to 2008-2010, are published on the National Statistics website at:

Period life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average
number of years a newborn baby would survive if he or she experienced
the area's age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout
his or her life. The figure reflects mortality among those living in
the area in each time period, rather than mortality among those born in
each area. It is not therefore the number of years a baby born in the
area in each time period could actually expect to live, both because
the death rates of the area are likely to change in the future and
because many of those born in the area will live elsewhere for at least
some part of their lives. 2 Using boundaries as of October 2010 for all the years shown. 3 Three year rolling averages, based on deaths registered in each year and mid-year population estimates. Source: Office for National Statistics |
