Imputation	The STATA code sets HOUSEFAM0 to missing if any relationship in the LS member's family has been imputed (using RELFIMP). For further details see note on imputation of relationships.
Notes	'Couple' means married or cohabiting couple. 'Child' means a person of any age and marital status who is living with a parent and is not in a co-residing couple or the parent, step-parent or grandparent of any other household member. These are the 2001 Census definitions.
