Variable for the postcode of the respondent
100%
Description
Hello
I am working on a study that aims to understand the locational and mobility patterns of different demographics and I will need to access the data to capture at least first three character of the postcode. What is the name of this variable? I believe that this data is in secure access data. Is that correct?
Thank you in advance.

I sincerely thank you for your prompt reply. Can you please advise on the name of the variable which captures the grid reference to the postcode? I would really appreciate it if can let me know what it is as we need the variable to fill the secure access form.
