National Minimum Wage
Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many young people aged 16 or 17 he expects will be entitled to the national minimum wage in (a) the Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) the United Kingdom. [166815]
Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Colin Mowl to Mr. Stephen Hepburn, dated 21 April 2004:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about national minimum wage. I am replying in his absence. (166815)Information about entitlement to the national minimum wage is not available.
However, estimates for the number of employees aged 16 and 17 from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) provide an upper limit for the number of people entitled to the national minimum wage.
The table below gives estimates of the number of employees aged 16 and 17 in the United Kingdom and in the North East for the three month period ending November 2003. They include a
- small, but not measured, number of people with a contract of apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship schemes who are not entitled to the minimum wage.
| People aged 16 and 17 | People aged 16 | People aged 17 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | 631,000 | 247,000 | 384,000 |
| North East | 25,000 | (8) | 16,000 |
(8) Sample size too small for reliable estimate.
As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to sampling variability and the sample size is too small to provide comparable estimates for the Jarrow parliamentary constituency and the south Tyneside local authority with any reliability.
Census Statistics
Mr. Andrew Turner: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer according to the 2001 Census return, which 10 constituencies had the highest proportion of non-white population; what those proportions were; what proportion of the population indicated English or similar in the ethnicity question in (a) England and (b) each constituency; what proportion of the population lives in a mobile home in (i) England and (ii) each constituency; and what proportion of the population travels to work by other means in (A) England and (B) each constituency. [162763]
Mr. Boateng [holding answer 22 March 2004]: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Andrew Turner, dated 21 April 2004:
As National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking which 10 constituencies had the highest proportion of non-white population according to the 2001 Census return; what those proportions were; what proportion of the population indicated English or similar in the ethnicity question in (a) England and (b) each constituency; what proportion of the population lives in a mobile home in (a) England and (b) each constituency; and what proportion of the population travel to work by other means in (a) England and (b) each constituency. (162763)
The following ten Parliamentary Constituencies have the highest percentage of non-white ethnic groups in England and Wales. The percentages have been extracted from Table KS06 on the CD supplement to the Census 2001 Report for Parliamentary Constituencies, which is available in the House of Commons Library.

2001 Census Report for Parliamentary Constituencies.
21 Apr 2004 : Column 503W
People could identify themselves as English in the 2001 Census by writing in such a response under one of the "other" categories on the ethnic group question. The number of people who identified themselves as English in this way in England was 1,064,922.
People were asked to identify their accommodation type in the 2001 Census. The Census did not identify 'mobile homes' separately but the number of people who identified themselves as living in a 'caravan or other mobile or temporary structure' in England was 142,857. This count has been taken from Table T07 on the CD supplement to the Census 2001 National Report for England and Wales, which is available in the House of Commons Library.
People were asked to identify the means of travel that they used for the longest part, by distance, of their usual journey to work. The particular means identified were:
1. work mainly from home
2. use the underground, metro, light rail or tram
3. use trains
4. use a bus, minibus or coach
5. ride a motorcycle, scooter or moped
6. drive a car or van
7. are a passenger in a car or van
8. use a taxi or minicab
9. cycle
10. walk.
The number of people using a means of transport other than these 10 categories in England was 104,205. This count has been taken from Table SI21 on the CD supplement to the Census 2001 National Report for England and Wales part 2, which is available in the House of Commons Library.
I have placed in the House of Commons Library three specially commissioned tables (CO168, CO169 and CO170), respectively showing:
the number of people recording themselves as living in a 'caravan' or other mobile or temporary structure for each Parliamentary Constituency in England and Wales;
the number of people who use a means of transport other than those listed above for the longest part of their journey to work, for each Parliamentary Constituency in England and Wales;
the number of people who identified themselves as 'English' by writing in this response for each Parliamentary Constituency in England and Wales.
Further customised output may be commissioned from ONS, where requirements are not met by the standard results, via the National Statistics website at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/op15.asp
