203WLetter from Tim Holt to Mr. Marlyn Jones, dated 23 March 1999:
As Director of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your recent parliamentary question on the estimated population of each local authority area.ONS produce mid-year population estimates for local authority areas in England and Wales. Total population figures for each local authority area are published and the most recent publication relates to mid-1997. The attached list gives details of where those population estimates have been published.ONS have also published estimates at the local authority level for the United Kingdom for years from 1990 to 1996 in Regional Trends (numbers 27 to 33). For Northern Ireland and Scotland the mid-year population estimates for 1989 and 1997 are given in the tables.
