§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what information is available on the numbers of persons, by region, in any specified age group; or what estimate he is able to make.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergThe estimated numbers of persons by region in various standard age groups are published in a variety of sources—for example, in OPCS' annual population estimates volume and in the CSO's regional abstract. At present the latest available statistics are for mid-1980; statistics from the 1981 census are now available for some counties but no region is yet complete.
