Letter from John Kidgell to Ann Taylor, dated 15 January 2002:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your parliamentary questions concerning the number of residents in Kirklees and its parliamentary constituencies. I am replying in his absence. (26243, 26242)The attached table gives population estimates for Kirklees Metropolitan council area, together with the percentage age distribution of the population.ONS does not produce population estimates on parliamentary constituency boundaries. The smallest area level for which we produce population estimates is for local authorities.
