§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the latest estimates by the Registrar General of Populations of those aged 17 years and over, plus 63 per cent. of those aged 16 years, for each district council area and parliamentary constituency in Scotland, together in each case with the equivalent year's electoral registration figures.
§ Mr. Michael Forsyth[holding answer 5 February 1992] : The information requested is given in the tables. For clarity of presentation, the first table includes figures for regions and islands areas and the whole of Scotland. The population figures in Table B have been prepared by a method that involves a certain degree of approximation and therefore they must be treated with some caution.
