Thanks to all who replied. The web site given below is part of the ONS's
"statstore" of datasets in demography and many related areas. I have
downloaded the table that you see, which contains regional and UK rates by
age-group and sex.
The only disadvantage from my point of view is that the age groups are
rather coarse (10-yr). But some judicious smoothing will sort that out.
I plan to construct a Stata dataset of the data. If anyone would like a copy
please email me direct.
Patrick.
