Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 16 January 2006:
16 Jan 2006 : Column 1154W
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many alcohol-related deaths there have been in each year since 1997, in total and broken down by (a)sex and (b) socio-economic group. (41959)
The latest year for which figures are available is 2004. The table below shows the number of deaths by sex and socio-economic group which were certified as due to alcohol abuse, dependence and poisoning, and diseases directly related to alcohol use from 1997 to 2004.
In 2001, National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification (NS SEC) replaced Social Class based on Occupation (SC) for coding socio-economic status. For this reason, figures for years prior to 2001 are not comparable to figures for subsequent years. Information on the deceased's own occupation is only requested at death registration for those aged between 16 and 74. The table below shows deaths at these ages by Social Class for the years 1997 to 2000 and by NS-SEC for the years 2001 to 2004.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the impact on his targets for the public sector borrowing requirement of the additional funds made available to arm's length management organisations to improve council homes. [41151]
John Healey: Funding of arm's length management organisations is from within the department expenditure limits set for the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and does not represent additional expenditure. As a result there is no impact on public sector net borrowing.
Mr. Drew: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the planned level of expenditure on the common agricultural policy is for each of the next 10 years; and how much and what percentage each member state will contribute of the total. [41458]
John Healey: The EU budget agreed by the European Council on 17 December for the period 200713 will be €863 billion (in 2004 prices) on a commitments basis. The following amounts will be allocated to agriculture, including rural development (Heading 2).
€ billion, 2004 prices | |
---|---|
2007 | 55.0 |
2008 | 54.3 |
2009 | 53.7 |
2010 | 53.0 |
2011 | 52.4 |
2012 | 51.8 |
2013 | 51.1 |
Equivalent expenditure in 2006 is estimated at €55.5 billion in 2004 prices. Member states do not contribute to individual programmes within the EC budget. The UK's post abatement financing share for the EC budget as a whole was estimated at 11.97 per cent. in 2005.
Sir Michael Spicer: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Paymaster General will respond to the letter from the hon. Member for West Worcestershire of 31 October 2005, PO reference: 4/23543/2005. [41975]
Dawn Primarolo: The Paymaster General has already done so.
Mr. Laws: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what his latest estimate is of council tax as a percentage of gross income in each (a) decile and (b) quintile (i)before and (ii) after council tax benefit. [41574]
Dawn Primarolo: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question to asking what the latest estimate is of council tax as a percentage of gross income in each (a) decile and (b) quintile (i) before and (ii) after council tax benefit. (41574)
Estimates for taxes and benefits are based on the Office for National Statistics analyses 'The effects of taxes and benefits on household income' and the latest analysis for 200304 was published on the National Statistics website on 7th July 2005 at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/taxesbenefits. The analysis includes
The following tables show estimates of council tax as a percentage of gross income for each income decile and quintile where households are ranked by equivalised disposable income. Council tax figures are shown both before and after the deduction of council tax benefit. Each table also shows the equivalised disposable income boundaries which separate deciles and quintiles.
