Birth Statistics
Mr. Evans: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many live births per 1,000 of the population there have been in (a) Ribble Valley and (b) Lancashire in each of the last 10 years; and what estimate he has made for each of the next five years. [71558]

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 17 May 2006:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many births per 1,000 population in (a) Ribble Valley and (b) Lancashire there have been in each of the last 10 years and what estimate has been made for each of the next five years. (71558)
Figures are currently available on births that have occurred in each year up to 2004. The table below shows rates for the years 1995 to 2004. ONS projections of the numbers of births in each area are based on the assumption that local trends in fertility observed over the period 1999 to 2003 will continue into the future. The table below also shows projected birth rates on this basis for the years 2005 to 2009.
| Live birth rates per 1,000 population 1995-2009, Kibble Valley CD and Lancashire county | ||
| Ribble Valley | ( 1) Lancashire | |
| (1) In 1997 Blackburn CD and Blackpool CD ceased to form part of Lancashire. To aid comparability they have been excluded throughout the table. (2) Figures for 2005 to 2009 are 2003-based projections. |
Cancer Rates
Mr. Amess: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the rates of cancer of the (a) breast and (b) cervix were in (i) the South East of England and (ii) the rest of the UK for those aged (A) 20 to 25 years, (B) 25 to 30 years, (C) 30 to 35 years, (D) 35 to 40 years, (E) 40 to 45 years, (F) 45 to 50 years and (G) 50 to 55 years in each year since 1979; and if he will make a statement.

The most recent available figures for newly diagnosed cases of cancer registered in England and Wales are for 2003. Age-specific incidence rates by five-year age groups for both breast and cervical cancer registered in (a) London and South East Government Office Regions and (b) the rest of England and Wales for the years 1981-2003 are given in the attached tables.
Figures are not available for the United Kingdom prior to 1994 and so figures have been provided for England and Wales for consistency over the period.
