§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the latest estimates of those aged 17 years and over, plus 63 per cent. of those aged 16 years, for each parliamentary constituency in Scotland together, in each case with the equivalent electoral registration figures also expressed as a percentage of these population figures. [36777]
