As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question concerning which 50 (a) local authorities and (b) parliamentary constituencies had the highest annual change in population numbers in each of the last five years; and what the percentage change was in each case. (108015)
The attached tables provide the requested data for local authorities in the UK for the year to mid-2001 through to the year to mid-2005.
Mid-year population estimates for all parliamentary constituencies are only available from the Census. For this reason, it is not possible to provide data on annual change for these areas.
