* indicates that a percentage change is not shown because the denominator is 50 or fewer.

NB: Some figures for 1999 and earlier years may have been revised slightly from those published previously due to late returns, or due to late corrections being made to returns that had been received earlier.
1. The percentage changes on the 1981-85 average are affected by a change in the way in which motor caravans are counted: for years up to 1998 they are included under "minibus": from 1999 they are counted as "other".
