HC Deb 11 February 1992 vol 203 cc473-82W
Mr. Harry Barnes

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett),Official Report, 29 January, columns 601-2, if he will list the latest estimates by the Registrar General of Populations of those aged 17 years and over, plus 63 per cent. of those aged 16 years, for each district council area and parliamentary constituency in England and Wales, together in each case with the equivalent year's electoral registration figures.

Mr. Dorrell

[holding answer 5 February 1992]: Population estimates are not available for parliamentary constituencies. The table shows local government electors on the 1991 registers (qualifying date 10 October 1990) and approximately corresponding mid-1990 estimates of resident population for each London borough and county district in England and Wales as requested.

The electorate figures include unknown numbers of legitimate dual registrations (eg. by persons with second homes and students). The resident population estimates include a proportion of those aged 15 to 19 at mid-1990, who were already 18 or would reach this age during the period when the 1991 electoral register was in use. This proportion has been calculated nationally and applied in every district. The estimates include residents who were not Commonwealth citizens or citizens of the Republic of Ireland, and persons detained in mental institutions, who are not eligible to be electors. Resident population estimates are currently based upon the 1981 census; provisional estimates for 1991 based on the 1991 census will be available in the autumn.
