<p>The independent Office for National Statistics (ONS) uses the Labour Force Survey
(LFS) to provide estimates for the usual weekly hours of work for people. The table
below sets out data ONS publishes on those working fewer than 6 hours, and between
6 and 15 hours. Breakdowns for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and regional
breakdowns, are not provided because of small sample sizes. Estimates are based on
the number of people who report the numbers of hours worked.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table:
