The source indicates: "The source of this information is the Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OLS). The OLS is a multi-purpose survey developed by ONS for use by government departments, other public bodies, charities, academics, and the media. It provides a fast, cost effective, and reliable way of obtaining information on topics too brief to warrant their own survey".
