As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question on the number of days of work lost due to industrial action in the (a) public sector and (b) private sector in each of the last five years. (303028)
The Office for National Statistics compiles monthly labour disputes statistics for the UK. They exclude disputes that do not result in a stoppage of work, and stoppages involving fewer than ten workers or lasting less than one day, unless the total number of working days lost in the dispute is 100 or more.
The following table provides estimates of working days lost in the United Kingdom between 2004 and 2008.

Letter from Jil Matheson, dated November 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about the estimate of the projected population of Mid-Bedfordshire constituency in the next five years. (302924)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) produces population estimates and population projections for all local authority areas but only produces population estimates for parliamentary constituencies that are not coterminous with local authority boundaries. I am therefore unable to provide the figures you requested for Mid-Bedfordshire constituency.
For your information the table below shows the projected population for mid-2010 to mid-2014 for the three local authorities which covered the Mid-Bedfordshire constituency in 2008 when these projections were produced.
