Summary

The combination of results from the 1971 Population Census and data specific to Birmingham make it possible to revise past estimates of the numbers of coloured persons in Great Britain. Such information also permits projections of the relative age structures of the coloured and total populations of Birmingham under differing fertility assumptions and Thomas's (1970) conclusions may therefore be revised.
