§ Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) how many electors were on the electoral register in each year since 1979 for each district council and island council; [15407]
(2) how many electors were on the electoral register in each year since 1979 in each regional council and island council and in each sub-division in Strathclyde regional council. [15408]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information for 1979 and 1980 is not held centrally. The electorate figures for 1981 to 1984 are set out in the table. The figures for 1985 to 1994 are detailed in the electoral statistics publications, compiled annually by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys and published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, which are available in the House of Commons Library. Figures for 1995 are also available in this series, although they refer to the new unitary authorities. Information on each sub-division within Strathclyde regional council is not held centrally.
