This means that estimates produced for very small sub-groups within the population, such as 16 and 17 year olds in each of more than 7,000 wards in England, are unlikely to lead to meaningful results for comparison between wards or within wards over time.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 13/12/2016 16:01:10 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
