HC Deb 04 June 1981 vol 5 c413W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what changes there have been in the predominance of Catholic and Protestant populations in each local authority area over the last 12 years.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

Information about religious affiliations was not collected between the censuses in 1971 and 1981. Processing the voluntary replies on religion in the 1981 census will not be completed for all local authority areas for three years. The information requested is therefore not available.
