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.
5.77 Question 43(b) - Fuel Used for Cooking
Ask the question this way: "What kind of fuel is used for cooking in this household?" Again the pre-coded response positions are straight-forward; mark the one applicable. If more than one type is used, mark the one used more frequently.
