§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in the Official Report a detailed analysis of the figures given from the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, so far as it affects Newham; and what action he proposes to take to deal with the problems resulting from these figures.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe Office of Population Censuses and Surveys publishes a wide range of statistics on an annual andad hoc basis, many of which are available for the London borough of Newham and all of which are in the Library. I would refer my hon. Friend in particular to the 1971 Census County Report for Greater London; FMI series of publications, both annual and ad hoc, on 517W fertility statistics; and the PP 1 series which give population estimates.
The City and East London Area Health Authority is responsible for health services and the London borough of Newham for social services. I am not aware of any abnormal social security problems.
