The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.

Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Mark Oaten, dated 30 November 2000:

As National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking when the 2001 Census data will be published (141137).

Mid 2001-population estimates for local authority areas for England and Wales, based on the 2001 Census, are planned to be published in late summer 2002.

More detailed figures from the 2001 Census are planned to be released towards the end of 2002 and during 2003. These will provide information for the local parts of the country and up to national level.
