[holding answer 27 October 1993]: Information at the level of detail requested can be provided only by using a specialised product from the 1991 census of population described as the special workplace statistics. This product is scheduled for release around the end of November. Analysis by travel-to-work data will require the use of an appropriate software package, the results of which are not expected before spring 1994.
