Family Expenditure |  |
The information in the pie chart represents a survey of a random sample of private households in the UK carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The figures are based on prices between 1999 and 2000. It should be noted that because these figures represent a survey of a sample of households and not the whole population, the results are liable to be different if every single household had been covered.
