Understanding Society User Support

Hello,

I am trying to ascertain what data the BHPS contains about pension saving. I have looked on the Understanding Society and BHPS websites and have found there is supposedly a variable called contr that is in all waves of the BHPS : see https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/documentation/mainstage/dataset-documentation/variable/contr and the first variable https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/bhps/documentation/volb/indexes/subjcat8.html#Financial%20Management:%20Pensions.

However, I can't seem to find this question in the BHPS questionnaire (which I downloaded from https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/bhps/documentation/pdf_versions/survey_docs/wave17/index.html). I tried both searching the document for contr and looking through the household questionnaire (which I believe it should be in), but neither way worked. Furthermore, I had a quick look at the data files I have access to and couldn't find this variable in them either. I hope I'm not missing something obvious here!

I was wondering if you could confirm to me that this variable exists in the data, and if so, where to find out more about it and a reason why it might not be in a dataset we have? I would be interesting in learning the exact question asked as well as who it is asked to.

Many thanks
Laurence
