§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are his estimates of the populations within the areas controlled by local councils in Wareham and Swanage districts, in winter-time and in summer-time, respectively, and to which figures he will have regard in considering boundaries of new local government areas.
§ Mr. Graham PageFor purposes of local government reorganisation the relevant population estimates will be those published annually for local authority areas by the Registrar General. I have made no estimates of seasonal variations in population.
