figures in Table 1 are estimates derived from the Family Resources Survey. The Family
Resources Survey is designed to provide robust information at former Government Office
Region level. Therefore data for Liverpool, Walton constituency are not available.
Estimates are rounded to the nearest 100,000.</li><li>The Family Resources Survey
is a nationally representative sample of UK households. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/family-resources-survey-financial-year-201516"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/family-resources-survey-financial-year-201516</a></li><li>The
figures from the Family Resources Survey are based on a sample of households which
have been adjusted for non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors which align
the Family Resources Survey to former Government Office Region populations by age
and sex. Estimates based on survey data are subject to uncertainty due to sampling
error and remaining non-response error.</li><li>Figures presented here are for 2015/16
– this is the most recent year that data are currently available.</li><li>Relative
to administrative records, the FRS under-reports benefit receipt – see Methodology
Table M.6 in the Family Resources Survey publication.</li><li>In this analysis a family
is defined as ‘a single adult or couple living as married and any dependent children’.
A dependent child is aged 16 or under, or is 16 to 19 years old, unmarried and in
full-time non-advanced education.</li><li>The following benefits have been including
in this analysis; Disability Living Allowance, Child Benefit, Pension Credit, State
Pension, Widow's Pension/Bereavement Allowance/Widowed Mothers Allowance, Armed Forces
Compensation Scheme, War Widow's/Widower's Pension, Severe Disability Allowance, Attendance
Allowance, Carer's Allowance, Jobseeker's Allowance, Industrial Injury Disablement
Benefit, Employment and Support Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Income Support, Maternity
Allowance, Government Training Allowances, Guardians Allowance, Widow's Payment, Winter
Fuel Payments, Extended Housing Benefit, Housing Benefit, Universal Credit, Personal
Independence Payment, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit.</li><li>Note the inclusion
of Child Benefit. <strong>The vast majority of families with three or more children
are in receipt of Child Benefit. Therefore these figures are very close to population
figures for the number of families with 3 or more children. </strong></li></ol><p>
