HC Deb 20 May 1901 vol 94 c598
MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate for Scotland whether he is in a position to state the population of Scotland at the recent Census.

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

I am informed by the Registrar General for Scotland that approximately, and subject to corrections after the Census returns have been thoroughly examined, the population of Scotland at the Census day may be given as 4,471,957.
