Previous work on a general class of multidimensional latent variable models for analysing ordinal manifest variables is extended here to allow for direct covariate effects on the manifest ordinal variables and covariate effects on the latent variables.

Two examples from the 1996 British Social Attitudes Survey are used to illustrate the methodology
