I have been asked to reply.The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Registrar General, who has been asked to reply.Letter from Len Cook to Mr. David Davis, dated 24 May 2005:"As Registrar General for England and Wales I have been asked to reply to your recent parliamentary Questions on marriage applications. (299 and 300)""I am placing in the House of Commons Library a table showing the available information. It gives the numbers of intended marriages taken in each local authority in England and Wales for 1998–1999 to 2003–2004. Comparable data for Scotland and Northern Ireland are not held centrally, and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.""From 1 January 2001, both the bride and groom had to give notice. Prior to then, couples who lived in the same registration district gave one notice. Figures exclude marriages in an Anglican Church where notice of marriage is given after banns."
