Mr. Lee

[pursuant to his rely, 23 February 1988, c. 86]: I regret to say that an error has been discovered in some of the information which was supplied to my Department for use in my earlier reply. The figures affected are the estimates of the population of working age in Greater London. The correct figures are:

Greater London

1979 2,183
1983 2,185
1986 2,203
