1 As reported to the Department by the local authorities on the quarterly statistical return P1D.
No allowance is made for non-response by individual local authorities.
—=No returns received for that year
(1)=One return received for that year
(2)=Two returns received for that year
(3)=Three returns received for that year
(2) The figures for 1993–94 are for the first six months of the financial year.
(3) The figures for the North West as a whole include Departmental estimates for missing returns.
Therefore this total is greater than the sum of values for individual local authorities.
