69. Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, taking the estimated population at 30th June, 1965, as a basis of 100, he will provide index figures for males and females and in total, respectively, of the estimated population at the same date in each subsequent year of each of the planning regions of Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Estimates of the population by sex for areas within Scotland were not prepared until 1968, and index figures comparing 1968 with 1996, the only other year for which figures are available so far, would be of little significance.
