HC Deb 30 July 1971 vol 822 cc183-4W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which quarterly return of the Registrar General will contain the figures for April, 1970 to March, 1971 corresponding to those in Annex A to Appendix E to Return No. 487 for the third quarter of 1970; whether any previous quarterly return will contain such figures for any part of the period April, 1970 to March, 1971; and what he expects to be the approximate dates of publication of such reports.

Sir K. Joseph

The Registrar General intends that future publication of the detailed analysis of births by birthplace of parents should be on a calendar year basis as with other detailed analyses of births and deaths. The figures for 1970 corresponding to those referred to in the Question will be published in his return for the second quarter of 1971, due out in the autumn.
