Mr. C. WILSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, as representing the Ministry of Health, the estimated population in England, Scotland, and Wales, respectively, in 1897, 1902, 1907, 1912, 1917, and 1922?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The information required is given in the following Table as far as it is available:

England. Wales (including Monmouthshire). Scotland.
1897* 29,239,245 1,919,000 4,299,132
1902* 30,910,909 2,040,000 4,507,220
1907* 32,488,905 2,210,000 4,650,478
1912 33,918,144 2,464,312 4,741,077
1917† 34,924,708 2,353,526 4,810,338
1921 35,227,583 2,657,659 4,882,288
1922 38,158,000 4,904,247
* Populations for these years were estimated for "Registration" areas in England and Wales, and the figures for England and Wales separately are rough estimates.
† The figures for England and Wales in 1917 include armed forces abroad.

Estimates for England and Wales separately are not yet complete for 1922. Figures for 1921 and the estimate for England and Wales together for 1922 are therefore given.
