I am going to read some statements, would you say from this card how much you agree or disagree with each one (Continued):

It's too difficult for ordinary people to make their views known to the, government about things that affect them

And now soce statements about large organisations that people work for:

Most people who work in large organisations would like more Bay in the way their job is done

Most employers and managers don't give the people who work for them enough say in how things are run

Most people who work in large organisations are quite happy to get on with their jobs and to leave management problems to the managers

TITLE

One way Britain could be divided up is shown on this map. As you can see your region is called •••• and includes ••..••• See attached map.

Docs this seem sensible to you for purposes of running the country or do you disagree with it

If disagree: Can you tell me what you think is wrong with it:

The region shown is too large to govern, such units lead to mUddle/ bureaucracy. (incl: other reasons why it is too large which cannot be coded elsewhere

The re~ion shown is too small (incl. reasons why it is too small which cannot be coded elsewhere

The region shown combines incompatibles, e.g. rural and industrial areas. N.E. and N.W. haven't much in common

The region needs redefining (e.g. where code 6 does not apply). Gloucester isn't anywhere near the Midlands. I would like to see Derby, Leicester, Binningham and Stoke-onTrent linked together as one unit and called the Midlands. Can' t run Hull differently from the other parts of the Humber.

(b) THA.T MIGHT BE JUST'IPART OF A LARGER REGION; WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THE LARGER REGION INTO WHICH ••• FITTED?

Notes: 1. Both parts of this quest~on will be coded from the same set of frames; part (b) appl~es only ~f at (a) ~nformant named anyt~ng less than a reg~on (e.g. a town, county, part of a c~ty) - the only except~ons be~ng Yorkshire and (Greater) London, wh~ch are acceptable as regions. Where (b) appl~es (a) must also be coded.

2. Two sets of codes w~ll be used for Some answers, the f~rst refer~ng to the s~ze of un~t ment10ned, the second to the actual descr~pt~on. See deta~led ~nstruct~ons below.

3. A d~ferent frame w~ll be used for each reg~on to cover the actual descr~pt~on of the reg10n, s~nce descr~pt~ons tend to vary from ons re~on to another.

4. PlaCing of codes: Placs the code for S~ze of Unit in the left-hand box in cols. 13-14 and cols.15-16, resp., the code for the Description in the right-hand box.

3 County (the IUdings of Yvrkshire to count as 3 separate counbea).

Use of FraJIe 2:

Where the informant answers in terms of units smaller than a region, there is no need to use the second frame; i.e. where Frame 1 is coded 1-\y; also where codes 7 or 9 are used. 't I

Frame 2 should only be used·where in Frame 1 codes~5, 6 or p are used.

Where an alternative description is given - e.g. "North-West or Lancashire", give priority to the wider definition, i.e. "North-West" and.ignore the narrower one. If the definition given covers 2 different regions (e.g. "North or North-West") give priority to the region where the informant was sampled).

Q.20(a) IF SOMEONE CALLED YOU A ••• (REGIONAL NAME), WOULD YOU ACCEPT IT AS REASONABLE OR WOULD YOU WANT TO CORRECT THEM?

Check ONE of the 3 precodes is ringed.

If 1 or 3 are ringed (b) should be blank. If 2 is ringed (b) applies.

20(b) WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

1 Infonnant defines "his" region differently from interviewer (e.g. a Northerner says he is a North-Easterner; West countryman; Wessex)

2 Informant gives name of a town, county, or rural or smaller area

3 Informant gives a nickname (e.g. I'm a Geordie/a Scouse/Swede)

4 . Informant gives name of his place of origin, outside his present reglon (if in doubt check with place of birth and place where would feel more at home, at Q.17).

5 British/English.

6 Others - specify with pkt & siNo.

1/ ~. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DONE TO HIPROVE THINGS IN •..• (NANE REGION /?

Notes: 1. Comments not mak~ng any suggest~on for a change or =provement (e.g. those say~ng what ~s ~ fact be~ng done already, w~thout ~nd~cat~ng that more needs to be done), should be put ~nto the Vague Answer code, wh~ch should however only be used ~f nothing is spec~f~ed codable ~nto more mean~ngful codes.

2. A separate code ~ll be used for suggest10ns dealing w~th matters outs1de local government control - such as taxes, food pr1ces, etc., but where there is doubt whether the answer ~s relevant to a problem wh~ch is peculiar to the area the informant l~ves in g~ve preference to codes deal~ng with local matters.

3. Isnore cr~t~cisms of personal values (e.g. "people lack discipline nowadays")

4. Include suggestions for "more" of someth~ng as well as those for changes ~n exist~ services.

5. Include both suggestions in favour and aga~nst a part~cular service in the same code.

6. As only 1 column was allowed for codes spare codes w~ll need to be "borrowed" from adJacent columns, v~z. cols.28 and ,27; ~nd~cations on the placing of codes are ~ven below.

7. Codes w~ll be divided into two sets, w~th full multicoding w~thin and between permiss~ble - viz. one (Frames 1 & 2) for the area/ subJect matter of the suggestion and another (F~ame 3) for any particular groups of people for whom serv~ces should (or should not) be provided.

F1UL~ 1 SUBJECT MATTER (Col.29)

1 Housing - incl. slum clearance, housing repa~rs, hous~ng programme, overcrow~ng, wa~t~ng l~sts, housing pr~or~ties, hous~ng modernisation; objections to tower blocks.

(b) SHOW CARD C

Did not vote Refused to say

Here are some reasons which people have given for not voting in elections. Do any of them explain why you didn't vote?

I was away from home I didn't have time to get to the polls while they were open

I Just wasn't interested There is not enough difference between the parties so it

doesn't matter who wins I'm not on the voter's list

Forgot about it It's not likely to made any difference to me which wins

They're none of them any good so why bother M.P.s don't have much power so why bother
