To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the population was of(a) Humberside, (b) North East Lincolnshire and (c) North Lincolnshire, in each year from 1990 to 2001; and what predictions have been made of the population trends in each of these areas in the next 10 years. [37753]

Ruth Kelly

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

Letter from Len Cook to Shona McIsaac, dated 26 February 2002: As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your question concerning the population of Humberside, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire from 1990–2011. (37753) The attached table shows the estimated mid year population from 1990 to 2000 and the projected mid-year population from 2001 to 2011 for these areas. The projections are based on the mid-1996 subnational population estimates and use assumptions on future levels of births, deaths and migration. There is some discontinuity between the estimates and projections because the estimates for 1997 to 2000 are based on actual births, deaths and migration. These differed from the assumptions used when producing the projections. However, the projections are the best available information on the likely future population in the period 2001 to 2011.
