§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of the population of each local authority area in Wales live in officially recognised deprived wards; and if he will publish the equivalent figures for each year since 1989.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe list of wards recognised as deprived for urban programme purposes was published in Welsh Office circular No. 25/91. The latest population figures for these wards were published in the census 1991. Ward population figures are not available for 1989, 1990 and 1992. Copies of these publications are available in the Library of the House.
