HC Deb 28 June 1982 vol 26 c224W
Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what is the 1982 total electorate for the borough of Eastleigh; what is the similar figure for the Woolston ward of the city of Southampton; and what is the 1982 electoral quota for the English parliamentary constituencies;

(2) if he will publish in the Official Report the 1982 figures for the total electorates of each parliamentary constituency in the county of Hampshire.

Mr. Mayhew

The 1982 total electorate for the district of Eastleigh—71,126—was published by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys on 4 May in the OPCS Monitor "Electoral Statistics—Local Government"—reference EL82/1—which is in the Library of the House. I understand that the corresponding figure for Woolston ward of the city of Southampton is 11,071. The provisional number of parliamentary electors in the 1982 register for parliamentary constituencies and the 1982 electoral quotas will be published early in July by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys in the OPCS Monitor "Electoral Statistics—Parliamentary"—reference EL 82/2—copies of which will be placed in the Library of the House.
