House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 14 Mar 2001 (pt 4)

Pension Deductions

Mr. Horam: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many pensioners had money deducted from their state retirement pension while in hospital during the last calendar year for which figures are available; and what the cost to the Exchequer would have been of not making such deductions. [153226]

Mr. Rooker: As at 31 March 2000, some 31,900 retirement pensioners were in hospital and subject to a downrating of their retirement pension. The costs of abolishing such downrating is approximately £60 million per year.

Poverty (Lancashire)

Mr. Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many (a) people and (b) children were living in poverty in Lancashire in (i) 1997, (ii) 1998, (iii) 1999, (iv) 2000 and (v) 2001. [153167]

Mr. Bayley: Poverty and social exclusion are complex multi-dimensional issues, affecting many aspects of people's lives--including income, health, housing, the quality of their environment and opportunities to learn. There is no single measure that can capture the complex problems that need to be overcome.

However, a number of these aspects have seen significant improvement in Lancashire since 1997. For example, the number of unemployed people in Lancashire has fallen by around 10,000, from nearly 27,000 in January 1997 to around 16,000 in January 2001. Between 1997 and 2000 the number of children in families in receipt of out of

work benefits has fallen from nearly 50,000 to around 46,000. The proportion of 11-year-olds achieving level 4 or above at Key Stage 2 has risen in English from 68 per cent. in 1998 to 76 per cent. in 2000 and in mathematics from 63 per cent. in 1998 to 74 per cent. in 2000.

The annual report, "Opportunity for all", available in the Library, sets out and monitors the Government's strategy for tackling poverty and social exclusion.

Note:

Unemployment figures based on claimant count information.

Sure Start Maternity Grant

Mr. Denis Murphy: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many mothers in Wansbeck have received the Sure Start maternity grant since its introduction. [153143]

Angela Eagle: The information is not available in the format requested as the number of recipients of Sure Start maternity grants (SSMGs) is not held by sex or parliamentary constituency. SSMGs may be claimed either by the mother or by her partner, one of whom must have been awarded a qualifying benefit.

In the period since the introduction of SSMGs on 27 March 2000 to the end of February 2001, 1,368 people have received a SSMG in the Benefits Agency's Northumbria area.

Private Landlords

Mr. Nigel Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what assessment he has made of the proportion of private landlords who will not accept tenants who are in receipt of Housing Benefit; and how these figures have altered since May 1997. [153390]

Angela Eagle: None. No data are held to make the comparison requested.

Working Age Agency

Mr. Derek Twigg: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proposals he has to extend the use of work-focused interviews within the Working Age Agency. [153900]

Mr. Darling: My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Employment and I are establishing, later this year, the Working Age Agency. This will bring together labour market and benefit services for people of working age and enable us to provide a more integrated approach for our customers.

As the first stage in the launch of the Working Age Agency, we will be introducing around 50 Pathfinder offices. A provisional list of their locations is set out in the table. People of working age making a claim for benefit in these offices will be required to participate in a work-focused interview as an integral part of the benefit claims process and will be offered specialist support to help them into work. I will shortly be laying regulations under the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 for this purpose.

Child Poverty

Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many children have been lifted out of poverty since May 1997; and if he will provide the basis for Ministers' calculation concerning the number of children who will be lifted out of poverty by the end of the present Parliament. [152432]

Dawn Primarolo: I have been asked to reply.

As a result of personal tax and benefit reforms announced in this Parliament, over 1.2 million children will be lifted out of poverty. This is an estimate, using the Treasury's tax benefit simulation model, of the impact of measures on the number of children living in households with income below 60 per cent. of the median.

EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT

Pre-school Provision (London)

Ms Harman: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many (a) registered nursery and (b) playgroup places there were (i) in 1996 and (ii) at the latest date for which figures are available for (A) London and (B) each London Borough. [152196]

14 Mar 2001 : Column: 610W

Ms Hodge [holding answer 8 March 2001]: The available information requested is shown in the tables. This includes information on day nurseries and playgroups for March 1996 and March 2000 and needs to be seen in the context of a national rise in playgroup places. In addition, for your information I have provided a table on the provision of education in maintained nursery and primary schools in England in January 2000.

The responsibility for day care provision transferred from the Department of Health to the Department for Education and Employment in March 1998.
