1216WLetter 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.
