Swale Borough Council
Derek Wyatt: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to designate Swale borough council as an alcohol control zone. [78510]
Mr. Coaker [holding answer 19 June 2006]: Local authorities can place restrictions on public drinking in areas with a history of alcohol-related crime, disorder or nuisance by making a Designated Public Place Order (DPPO), sometimes referred to as an ‘alcohol control zone’. The power, given under section 13 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, is not available to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and can only be exercised by local government. Current figures reveal that around 170 authorities now have adopted this measure, with around 360 Orders published in England and Wales.
Young Victims of Crime
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of victims of crime have been under 18 years old in each of the last five years. [78651]
Mr. McNulty: The information requested is not collected centrally. With the exception of certain specific sexual offences where the age of the victim is defined by statute, no details of the victim's age are available from the recorded crime series.

[73936]

HMT is taking a number of steps to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment. These are set out in our sustainable development action plan which is available on our website. http://www.hm- treasury.gov.uk./media/089/DA/sustainabledev_ 170306.pdf .
Birth Rates (Peterborough)
Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the birth rate was per 1,000 women aged (a) 19, (b) 18, (c) 17, (d) 16, (e) 15, (f) 14 and (g) under 14 years in (i) Peterborough constituency and (ii) Peterborough city council area in each year since 1997. [77911]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 20 June 2006:
As the National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question about the birth rate per 1,000 women aged (a) 19, (b) 18, (c) 17, (d) 16, (e) 15, (f) 14 and (g) under 14 years in (i) Peterborough constituency and (ii) Peterborough City Council area in each year since 1997. (77911)
Where constituencies are not co-terminous with local authority boundaries, as is the case with Peterborough, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) do not generally release figures based on recording of mother's age at birth registration. This is to protect against disclosure of information provided in confidence. Figures are provided for the relevant local authority instead.
The latest year for which livebirth data are available is 2005 and the table below shows livebirth rates per 1,000 female population by age for Peterborough Unitary Authority for the period 1997 to 2005. Rates for 2005 are provisional, as they are calculated using mid-2004 population estimates.
There were too few livebirths to girls resident in Peterborough at ages under 14, 14 and 15 for figures to be provided separately without breaching confidentiality. Therefore, livebirths to girls aged under 16 have been aggregated in the table.
Rates by single year of age at local authority level should be treated with caution. Population estimates are only considered reliable at local authority level when aggregated to groups of at least five years of age.
| Teenage livebirth rate per 1,000 females by age, Peterborough Unitary Authority, 1997-2005 | |||||
| Age | |||||
| Under 16 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | |
| (1) Provisional rates, based on mid-2004 population estimates | |||||
Climate Change Levy
Anne Milton: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much has been raised through the Climate Change Levy. [78070]
John Healey: Information on revenue from Climate Change Levy can be found on table 2 of the HM Revenue and Customs ‘Climate Change Levy Bulletin’, on the HM Revenue and Customs website: http://www.uktradeinfo.com/index.cfm?task=climate
Correspondence
Mr. Burstow: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to reply to the letter from the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam of 13 April concerning his constituent Mr. Paolo Standerwick. [78553]
Ed Balls: I have replied to the hon. Member.

Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 20 June 2006:
