§ Mr. Simon CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) if he will list the 25 largest parliamentary constituencies by electorate with their electorates; and what is the average constituency electorate on the current register;
(2) if he will list the shire counties, London boroughs and metropolitan boroughs in England in ranking order according to the degree by which their electorates vary from the nationally averaged electorate appropriate to the numbers of parliamentary constituencies within them.
§ Mr. DorrellThe 1990 electorate figures have been collected and published by local authority area in OPCS Monitor EL 90/1, copies of which are available in the Library. The data are still being reassembled by parliamentary constituency, and will be published in "Electoral Statistics: 1990" (Series EL No. 17) in July.
