BACKGROUND
This spreadsheet contains survey data collected and analysed by YouGov plc. No information contained within this spreadsheet may be published without
the consent of YouGov Plc and the client named on the front cover.
Methodology: This survey has been conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc GB panel of 350,000+ individuals who
have agreed to take part in surveys. Emails are sent to panellists selected at random from the base sample. The e-mail invites them to take part in a survey
and provides a generic survey link. Once a panel member clicks on the link they are sent to the survey that they are most required for, according to the
sample definition and quotas. (The sample definition could be "GB adult population" or a subset such as "GB adult females"). Invitations to surveys don’t
expire and respondents can be sent to any available survey. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a
representative reporting sample. The profile is normally derived from census data or, if not available from the census, from industry accepted data.
YouGov plc make every effort to provide representative information. All results are based on a sample and are therefore subject to statistical errors normally
associated with sample-based information.
