Mid-year population estimates (as at June 30 each year) are available for mid-2010 to mid-2014 by single year of age and sex. Population projections are available for mid-2015 and mid-2016 by single year of age and sex. These datasets cover the period of the Conservative/Lib Dem Coalition and the present Conservative Government.
