§ Mr. MacGregorasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the revised forecast for population in Norfolk in 1975; what is the estimated increase over that figure in 1976; and how this compares with the increase between 1974 and 1975.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe revised population estimate for Norfolk at 30th June 1975 is 725W 657,400. It is provisionally estimated that between mid-1975 and mid-1976 the population increased by 5,100 to 662,500. The corresponding increase between mid-1974 and mid-1975 was 7,200.
§ Mr. MacGregorasked the Secretary of State for Social Services by how much between the provisional and revised population estimates for Norfolk in 1975 the figure was revised; what were the reasons; and whether the size of change is normal or abnormal in population estimates.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe revised population estimate for Norfolk at 30th June 1975 was 1,900 lower than the provisional estimate. The revision was made in the light of later and more complete information on births, deaths and migration. The size of the revision is not abnormal.
