The first official attempt to measure the well-being of Britons will see almost half a million people being asked whether they are happy with their marriages.

The first official attempt to measure the "well-being" of Britons will see almost half a million people being asked whether they are happy with their marriages.

The question will be included in the regular household surveys of the Office for National Statistics from April under David Cameron's scheme to create Britain's first national "happiness index", the Telegraph reported.

The ONS said other questions will seek to gauge people's overall "life satisfaction" as well as their levels of happiness with their jobs, income, housing and leisure time.

The answers will be included in the overall well-being index, alongside other measures, which are still being developed.

The Prime Minister launched the programme last November in an attempt to create a broader measure of Britain's success than the performance of the economy.
