Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Patrick McLoughlin, dated 17 November 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many people aged 65 years or over have died of influenza in (a) West Derbyshire, (b) East Midlands, (c) the UK in each year since 1997. (198366)
The most recent year for which figures are available is 2003. Figures for East Midlands Government Office Region and the United Kingdom are provided in the attached table. There were fewer than five deaths from influenza in each year from 1997 to 2003 in West Derbyshire Parliamentary Constituency and in each of the local authorities in which it is located (Amber Valley and
- Derbyshire Dales). There were a total of 8 deaths in Amber Valley and 6 deaths in Derbyshire Dales between 1997 and 2003. Figures cannot be provided for individual years or for the parliamentary constituency because of the risk of disclosure.
* = Fewer than five deaths.
(6) Deaths with an underlying cause of influenza defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) code 487 for the years 1997 to 2000 and, for the years 2001 to 2003, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes J10 and J11.
(7) Deaths of usual residents of this area.
(8) Figures are for deaths occurring in each calendar year, except for data for Scotland and Northern Ireland included in the United Kingdom totals. These are deaths registered in each calendar year.

Mr. Timms: Details of tax revenue from the National Lottery can be obtained from the Betting and Gaming Bulletin, published monthly by HM Customs and Excise, which provides a full historic series of data on the revenues collected from betting, gaming and lottery duties. The Bulletin is available on application to Customs and Excise or online from www.uktradeinfo.com
Unemployment
Paul Farrelly: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what changes have taken place in the numbers of people classified as long-term unemployed in Newcastle-under-Lyme since 1997. [198581]
Mr. Timms: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Paul Farrelly, dated 17 November 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about unemployment. (198581)
The Office for National Statistics compiles statistics of unemployment from the Labour Force Survey following International Labour Organisation definitions. However, the Labour Force Survey sample size is too small to give reliable estimates of long-term unemployment in the Newcastle-under-Lyme Constituency.
The Office for National Statistics also compiles statistics of those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance for local areas including parliamentary constituencies.
The attached table gives the annual average number of people resident in the Newcastle-under-Lyme constituency claiming Jobseeker's Allowance benefits for over 12 months for each year from 1997 to 2003.
| Annual averages | Claiming over 12 months |
|---|---|
| 1997 | 435 |
| 1998 | 165 |
| 1999 | 180 |
| 2000 | 140 |
| 2001 | 120 |
| 2002 | 115 |
| 2003 | 95 |

Tom Cox: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people living in the London borough of Wandsworth were unemployed in each of the last three years; how many were (a) long-term unemployed and (b) youth unemployed; and if he will make a statement. [198887]
Mr. Timms: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Tom Cox, dated 17 November 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many people living in the London Borough of Wandsworth were unemployed in each of the last three years; of these figures how many were (a) long-term unemployed and (b) youth unemployed. (198887)
Table 1 overleaf provides the information requested for the London Borough of Wandsworth, for the twelve-month periods ending in February each year from 2001 to 2003.
These estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) are, as with any sample survey, subject to sampling variability.
The Office for National Statistics also compiles statistics of those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (ISA) for local areas. Table 2 overleaf gives the total number of all ISA claimants resident, the total claiming for over 12 months and claimants aged 18 to 24 years old annual averages in the London Borough of Wandsworth, for each year since 2001 to 2003.
| 12 months ending in February each year | Total | Long term unemployed 1 | Unemployed people aged 16–24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2001 | 9 | 3 | 2 |
| 2002 | 10 | 2 | 2 |
| 2003 | 11 | 2 | 4 |
(9) People unemployed for over 12 months
Note:
Estimates are based on small sample sizes and are therefore subject to a higher than usual degree of sampling variability. They should therefore be treated with caution and, in particular, changes from year-to-year should not be used in isolation from the figures from a run of years.

Paul Farrelly: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the peak year was for the unemployment rate in Newcastle-under-Lyme since 1979; and how many people were unemployed there in that year. [198534]
Mr. Timms: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Paul Farrelly, dated 17 November 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about unemployment in the Newcastle-under-Lyme Parliamentary Constituency. (198534)
Statistics of unemployment for Newcastle-under-Lyme Parliamentary Constituency extend back only to 1992. However, figures for claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) in the constituency, which extend back to 1983 on a consistent basis, show that the highest level was recorded in September 1984, when there were 4,449 claimants. This compares with the most recent figure of 711 claimants in October 2004. Comparisons over this period for JSA claimants expressed as rates are not available.
