Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out the mid-year population and household estimates for each district in Tyne and Wear for each year from 1986 to 1996; and how changes in these estimates have affected the projections for 2016. [11613]

Sir Paul Beresford

Mid-year population estimates for 1986 to 1994—the latest data available from stated sources—are reproduced in the following tables. Population projections for 1997 and 2016 are also given together with projected change between those two dates.

Latest household projections data collated are from 1991. These data are similarly reproduced in the following tables. Projections data for 1981 and 2016 are also included. Projected change between 1996 and 2016 is illustrated.
