Letter from John Pullinger to Mr. Chris Ruane, dated 20 November 2003
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many births to girls conceiving under the age of 16 there were in each local authority in Wales in each of the past 20 years. I am replying in his absence. (140435) Prior to 1987, the method used for calculating mother's age at conception was not comparable to that used in later years.
Figures shown in the attached table are for 1987 to 2001, the latest year available.
The tables overleaf give the available information from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). These estimates are for the three-month period ending May of each year from 1999 to 2003. Comparable information is not available at local authority level for earlier years. The LFS sample size is too small to give reliable estimates of workless households for some local authorities in Wales.
