Introductory Guide to the Expenditure and Food Survey
PDF, Word
This guide is designed to pull together essential information about the Expenditure and Food Survey deposited by both the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Although the guide draws heavily on pre-existing documentation it is intended to supplement rather than replace the user guides produced by the Office for National Statistics, which should be considered definitive. Users should therefore consult the user guides before using the data.
