There are 1,500,000 more women than men in the United Kingdom, This fact is disclosed in a statistical return issued by the Board of Trade, and is based on an estimate of the peculation in the middle of 1930. The total population is given as 45,900,000, an increase of 200,000 in a year. Women are, however, in a lower proportion to men than they were in 1924, when they exceeded the opposite sex by 1,900,000, though the population was 1,000,000 fewer. These surplus women are nearly all in England and Wales. Scotland has onl, a small excess, and the sexes are about equal in Northern Ireland. The population of the Irish. Free State, which is not included in the preceding figures, is given as 2,945,000. This is 60,000 below 1924, but an increase of 2000 on the 1929 figure.
