Figures for 2016/17 are not available yet.</li><li>Figures for Wansbeck constituency are not available as error statistics are estimated based on a sampling exercise for the UK. There is not the level of detail available to break this down by constituency. </li></ol>The figure above has been calculated using the figure in table 5 from the previous six publications.
