Population Projections

Answer

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 5 December 2006:"The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the population was for the City of Newcastle upon Tyne for the financial years (a) 2003-04, (b) 2004-05 and (c) 2005-06, and what the projected population is for the next three financial years. I am replying in her absence. (107762)""The attached table provides the population estimates in Newcastle upon Tyne for 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the projected population for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. The figures are estimates of the population at mid-year and are the latest available. The projections are based on the mid-2004 population estimates and as such are not consistent with the 2005 mid-year population estimates. The 2004-based projections are the latest available and they assume that local trends in fertility, mortality and migration over the reference period 2000 to 2004 will continue into the future."
