29. For Tower Hamlets, we can draw on a substantial body of published work. See, for instance, the publications cited above in this paper. However, with few exceptions - see, for instance, S. Khanum, 'The household patterns of a "Bangladeshi village" in England', Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Vol 27, No 3, 2001 - very little research has been undertaken in Birmingham and Oldham. Therefore, for these areas, we will use material collected during fieldtrips in 2004 for a report on the Bangladeshi Diaspora commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK.
