Estimates of future population are available as population projections but ONS does not produce them for built up areas.
Population projections are available for local authorities in England which usually project forward for a 25 year horizon. However, the most recent set of projections are based on the population in 2011 are only available to 2021. These can be found at:
www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/snpp/sub-national-population-projections/Interim-2011-based/index.html
Updated population projections, based on more recent information and covering a period to 2037, will be published on the 29 May.

The Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) published in November 2013, provides country level splits of identifiable public expenditure on a total as well as per capita basis over a five-year outturn period from 2008-09 to 2012-13. The data within the CRA can also be adapted to show expenditure as percentages on a total as well as per capita basis. The answers to the data request are summarised in the tables below;

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what steps he is taking to improve the accuracy of (a) population and (b) household projections available to local authorities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what steps he is taking to improve the accuracy of (a) population and (b) household projections available to local authorities.
Local authority (sub-national) population projections are produced by the Office for National Statistics. The next update will be the 2012-based projections to be published this year. These will be the first to provide a full update of trends following the 2011 Census and are consistent with the 2012-based national populations published in November 2013. They are consulting with local authorities to improve the quality of these projections.
My Department plans to produce 2012-based household projections following the publications of the sub-national population projections. These household projections will take account of the most recent information on trends in household formation including the 2011 census.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made of the impact on the population level of St Helena of the opening of the airport there.[HL4298]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made of the impact on the population level of St Helena of the opening of the airport there.[HL4298]
Statistics provided by the St Helena Government show that since the start of the airport construction population levels have steadily
increased. The latest data showed a resident population in St Helena of 4,158 in September 2013. It is expected that population numbers in St Helena will increase in line with economic growth following the opening of the airport in 2016.
That this House notes with profound concern the 7.5 million yuan fine imposed by the Chinese authorities upon Mr Zyang Yimou, the Director of the spectacular opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, simply for having a third child; further notes the severity of the demographic crisis which China's one-child policy has bequeathed the Chinese people; and calls on the Government to intervene in Mr Yimou's case and to stress with the Chinese government the repugnance of all civilised nations at the compulsory abortion, infanticide and sterilisation of women that have been a feature in practice of their draconian population control policies.

The Environmental Cultural and Protective Services block is one of a number of Relative Needs Formulae used in the provision of Revenue Support Grant to local authorities. It is not expressed in terms of an amount of funding. Revenue Support Grant is unhypothecated, local authorities are free to spend it as they choose, and for this reason it is not possible to state how much is distributed for any particular service.
The United Nations released revised population projections on 13 June. The population in north Africa is projected to increase from 200 million in 2010 to 319 million in 2050, while in west Africa the projected rise is from 305 million in 2010 to 815 million in 2050.

The region is already experiencing substantial instability and extremism, and the likely outcome is that millions of young men and women will have bleak economic prospects. Given that no country has emerged from poverty without first addressing its levels of population growth, will the Minister give the region priority in her population programmes?

My hon. Friend has made an important point. West Africa has particularly high rates of population growth, and there is much less take-up of family planning there. DFID’s work involves not only family planning—which is a complex issue—but the delaying of first pregnancies, access to economic assets for girls, getting girls through secondary school and preventing violence, all of which contribute to making the population richer and more successful.

Remittances are indeed very important. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has met the head of Barclays to discuss the issue, with the aim of ensuring that remittances can be sent back to a country when they have the potential to increase that country’s GDP.
