To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his Department's assessment of the decline in the number of 16 to 19-year-old males in the United Kingdom between 1989 and 1993.

The Government Actuary's mid 1988-based population projections indicate that the number of males aged 16–19 in the United Kingdom is projected to fall from 1·718 million in mid 1989 to 1·413 million in mid 1993, a decrease of 18 per cent.
