§ Mr. David MarshallTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what categories of information and statistics his Department collects in relation to each parliamentary constituency. [8246]
§ Mr. WilsonCurrently, the only information which is specifically collected for each parliamentary constituency relates to electoral statistics. In addition, the Scottish Office compiles, and has access to, a wide range of statistical databases which hold information with a geographical reference allowing analyses by parliamentary constituency, from which summary information is available upon request. I will write to my hon. Friend with a list of the statistical information that is published by the Scottish Office for each parliamentary constituency. I shall arrange for a copy of the letter to be placed in the Library of the House.
