HC Deb 23 July 1997 vol 298 c608W
Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what categories of information and statistics his Department collects in relation to each parliamentary constituency. [8246]

Mr. Wilson

Currently, 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.
