I don't think we have those stats, Linda.....I have never seen them. 
I agree - wd be v. interesting.

(BTW, the term used to describe this group is Black British , or 
Black and Asian British or  Black and Ethnic Minority, or just Black. 
We don't use the term African-English. Asian in the UK means Indian 
sub-continent. England is just England, and the UK is actually 4 
separate countries with varying degrees of governmental autonomy : ) 
When US people say 'England' to mean 'Britain' or 'UK', the Scots, 
Welsh and Northern Irish get a bit chippy!!).
