Mr. Alec Jones:

The information requested is as follows:

Mr. Alec Jones:

The information requested is as follows:

Mr. Alec Jones:

I regret that the information is not available. The size of the sample used to collect the Great Britain figures does not provide statistically reliable information about smaller areas.
