The definitive final 1979 population figures will be contained in Volume I of the Census Report which it is anticipated will be published in January 1980. That volume will contain population figures for each district electoral division and ward and for each town with legally defined boundaries.

Will it also include data on conurbations and towns, including suburbs?

The data in virtually all respects will be similar to the previous Volume I booklet. There is a small limitation on figures in relation to towns but this is of a minor nature.
