Tax Statistics
John Hemming: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many taxpayers in each parliamentary constituency paid the (a) starting, (b) basic and (c) higher rate of tax in the last year for which figures are available. [21479]
Dawn Primarolo: The latest information on the estimated number of income taxpayers and their mean and median total income by constituency, is shown in table 3.15 Total Income by Parliamentary Constituency" on the HM Revenue and Customs internet website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/income_distribution/table-3–15.xls.
The income tax information is based upon the 2002–03 Survey of Personal Incomes (SPI).
A breakdown of income taxpayers by tax bands is not available because the sample sizes for marginal rates at constituency level are very small and demonstrate a large variability year on year.
Unemployment
Chris Ruane: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people (a) have been unemployed and (b) have been unemployed in each ward of the Vale of Clwyd in each of the last 30 years. [20319]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Colin Mowl to Mr. Chris Ruane, dated 25 October 2005:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about unemployment. I am replying in her absence. (20319)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles statistics of unemployment from the Labour Force Survey following International Labour Organisation (ILO) definitions. Table 1 attached, shows estimates of the number unemployed in the UK as a whole, aged 16 and over for the three month period ending in August, for the years 1975–2005.
Estimates of unemployment consistent with the ILO definition are not available for wards as the sample size of surveys for such areas is too small. However ONS compiles statistics of Job Seeker's Allowance claimants for wards.
For the years 1996 to 2004, Table 2 gives annual averages of the number of JSA claimants resident in each ward in the Vale of Clwyd Parliamentary Constituency. Comparable information for the wards on consistent boundaries is not available for years prior to 1996.

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the change in the level of unemployment has been in the Jarrow constituency in each year since 1997. [21055]
John Healey: 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 25 October 2005:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question on changes in unemployment levels. I am replying in her absence. (21055)
Table 1, attached, shows the total numbers of unemployed people, aged 16 and over, resident in the Jarrow constituency, for the periods ending in February each year from 1997 to 2004 (based on annual local area Labour Force Survey data) and for April 2004 to March 2005, the latest available data, from the Annual Population Survey. These estimates as with any sample survey are subject to sampling variability and estimates of year to year change are not reliable.
The Office for National Statistics also compiles statistics of those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) for local areas. Tables 2, attached, shows the annual average number of adult JSA claimants resident in the Jarrow constituency, for 1997 to 2004, and year on year changes in these numbers.
Notes:
1. These estimates are based on very small sample sizes and are subject to a very high degree of sampling variability.
2. Changes from year to year, especially, should be treated with caution.

(34) Both the number of claimants and the change on year are rounded to the nearest five but the changes are calculated from unrounded numbers.

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the level of youth unemployment has been in (a) the Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) the UK in each year since 1997. [21056]
John Healey: 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 25 October 2005:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about youth unemployment. I am replying in her absence. (21056)
Table 1 attached, shows the total number of unemployed youths (aged 16 to 24) in the Jarrow constituency, South Tyneside local authority, North East Government Office Region and for the UK for the periods ending in February each year from 1997 to 2004 (based on annual local area Labour Force Survey data) and for April 2004 to March 2005, the latest available data, from the Annual Population Survey. These estimates, as with any sample survey, are subject to sampling variability.
The Office for National Statistics also compiles statistics of those claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) for local areas. Table 2, attached, shows the annual average number of JSA claimants aged 18 to 24 resident in the Jarrow constituency, South Tyneside, North East Government Office Region and the UK for 1997 to 2004.
Note:
The estimates for local areas are based on very small sample sizes and are subject to a very high degree of sampling variability. Changes from year to year, especially, should be treated with caution.
