English Housing Survey: Fuel Poverty Dataset, 2018: Special Licence Access

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The&nbsp;English Housing Survey&nbsp;(EHS ) Fuel Poverty Datasets are comprised of fuel poverty variables derived from the EHS, and a number of EHS variables commonly used in fuel poverty reporting. The&nbsp;EHS is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Community and Local Government (MHCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England.&nbsp;</p><p><i>End User Licence and Special Licence Versions&nbsp;</i><i><br></i>Similar to the main EHS, two versions of the Fuel Poverty dataset are available from 2014 onwards. The Special Licence version contains additional, more detailed, variables, and is therefore subject to more restrictive access conditions. Users should check the End User Licence version first to see whether it meeds their needs, before making an application for the Special Licence version.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><br><p></p>

The fieldwork for the EHS is carried out each financial year (between April and March). The fuel poverty datasets combine data from two consecutive financial years. Full information on the EHS survey is available at the&nbsp;<a title="MHCLG EHS" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/english-housing-survey">MHCLG EHS</a>&nbsp;website and further information on Fuel Poverty and the EHS can be sought from [e-mail] and [e-mail] respectively.
