Section 8 - Housing

5.68 General
The information in this section relates to the building or part of the building used for living purposes. The information is to be recorded on the questionnaire for the Head of the Household only, and the required information must be given with respect to the entire household; no information on this topic is to be entered on the questionnaires for other members of the household.
Because the information is being sought from each household, this means that in some cases there will be different sets of replies with respect to the same building. The relevant instructions for non-private dwellings are given in Part 6.

5.72 Question 42 - Toilet Facilities
[Image omitted here]
This question is divided into two parts: Question 42(a) which deals with whether or not the household has toilet facilities and if so whether they have to share with other households. The second part Question 42(b) indicates what type of toilet facility is available.

5.73 Question 42(a) - Availability of Facilities
What is required here is whether the household has any toilet facilities which they are entitled to use because they occupy the dwelling.
If the household has no facilities, record None. If they have facilities, enquire whether they are shared with any other household (Shared or not Shared). Entitlement to use the facilities must be related to their occupancy of the dwelling; it must not, for example, be a public toilet.
