It's quite maddening that I can't find the link but I'll keep looking.

I seem to remember reading something similar a few years ago, I thought it was the South Wales Argus though. I have a feeling there was a lot of fuss from some readers in letters the following weeks accusing the newspaper of being racist because they had reported facts.
PS: I'm sure that was just over 3 years ago when I was at ntl.
I did dig around a while ago, my contact in a barristers chamber in Swansea seemed to think the details of ethnic origin was not a statistic available outside the courts these days.
