General Household Survey user meeting Thursday 29 March 2007, 10am - 1.45pm Royal Statistical Society, London This half-day meeting will provide a forum for the exchange of information and views between users and producers of the General Household Survey. The Office for National Statistics will present updates on the current survey (GHS(L)) and future developments. There will also be two research papers based on the GHS. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. Integrated Household Survey meeting Thursday 29 March 2007, 1.15pm - 5pm Royal Statistical Society, London The Integrated Household Survey is planned to begin in January 2008. The design involves the integration of the household surveys on which the Office for National Statistics (ONS) leads into one integrated survey. This half-day meeting provides an opportunity to find out the latest developments from ONS. It is also an opportunity to ensure that your needs are heard and considered. The above two meetings have been organised as separate events by ESDS Government so it will be necessary to make two separate bookings if you would like to attend both meetings. Both meetings are free to attend and lunch is provided. To view the programmes and book a place please go to http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/esds/events/
