These statistics published on 23 July 2014 have superseded those published on 26 March 2014. Minor revisions were made due to changes as a result of further validation work to clarify the treatment of parishes. The revisions affect the figures for 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 in table 6 but do not change any key points from the original release.
