HC Deb 09 November 1936 vol 317 c518W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether he can issue a statistical statement showing the tendencies to the urbanisation of the population in this country during the last decade?

Sir K. WOOD

For the decade 1921–31 the subject has already been treated with some degree of fullness in Tables E, F, G and H, and the accompanying text, in the preliminary 1931 Census Report, to which I would refer the hon. Member. No similar figures for any later period are, however, available in view of the extensive changes in the boundaries and constitution of county districts which have taken place since 1931.
