Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:27 pm on 20 September 2016.
Well, Mike Hedges raises an important point and I know he will be aware that the design of those lower super output area boundaries is the responsibility of ONS, the Office for National Statistics. It’s part of their work in managing the England and Wales census, but we do feed into the governance of that census. We have a close working relationship, of course, with ONS, and regular consultations, and we do need to look at how to manage the impact where there is a particular population change affecting the sizes of those LSOAs. But, of course, as Mike Hedges said, this is something where attention can also be drawn to this in terms of consultation by Assembly Members.
