HC Deb 01 February 1972 vol 830 c73W
Mr. Awdry

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the estimated size in terms of population of the south-western region, if the County of Wiltshire was included in that region under the Government's scheme for reorganisation of the National Health Service.

Mr. Alison

If the region comprised the proposed counties of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, it would have a population of about 3½ million.
