HC Deb 20 April 1983 vol 41 cc132-3W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what percentage of the population resident in the Trent regional health authority catchment area are aged under 5, 5 to 14, 15 to 44, 45 to 64, 65 to 74 and 75 years and over.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The official population estimates relate to the statutory areas and have been published by OPCS in its annual reference volume "Population Estimates, 1981" Series PP1 No. 6. The mid-1981 populations in the age-groups specified are 6 per cent., 15 per cent., 42 per cent., 23 per cent., 9 per cent. and 5 per cent. respectively. These figures are provisional and may be modified slightly when the census analyses are complete and the final estimates can be prepared.
