Note: The confidence limits in the table use a design factor of 1, which may not be likely in some cases but given the lack of further information it was agreed that an average design factor of 1 was reasonable.Information on estimating confidence intervals can be found in the LFS manuals at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=1537&Pos=&ColRank=2&Rank=544
