The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will ask the Office for National Statistics to publish data on the number and proportion of households that have only one adult in each local authority.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for collating and publishing official statistics and performs this function independent of the Government.

The ONS have published data on household composition at local authority level from the 2021 Census. This can be found here: Household composition - Office for National Statistics.
