Letter from Stephen

The National
Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary
Question asking for the number and
25 July 2006 : Column 1366W
percentage of families with three or more children that lived in each
county of (a) Wales (b) Scotland (c) England and (d) Northern Ireland
ranked in descending order by country in (i) 1976, (ii) 1986, (iii)
1996 and (iv) 2006. I am replying in her absence.

Estimates of
the figures requested on families are not available at county level
from sources other than the Census. For this reason figures cannot be
provided for the years indicated. Data from the 1971, 1981 and 1991
Censuses could only be collated at disproportionate
cost.
I am placing in
the House of Commons library, figures from the 2001 census giving the
number and percentage of families with three or more children by county
/ unitary authority for England and local authority for Wales, Scotland
and Northern Ireland. These data have been extracted from commissioned
census table M501 which is available on request from Census Customer
Services (census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk).
