Chris Ruane:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the cancer mortality rates were in each of the last 30 years. [93938]
John Healey:
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 16 October 2006:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the cancer mortality rates were in each of the last 30 years. (93938)
The most recent year for which figures are available is 2004. The attached table shows the age-standardised death rate from cancer in England and Wales for the years 1975 to 2004.

(1) Rate per 100,000 population standardised to the European Standard Population. (2) Selected using the International Classification of Diseases, Eighth Revision (ICD-8) codes 140-207 for the years 1975 to 1978, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 140-208 for the years 1979 to 2000, and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes C00-C97 for 2001 onwards. Between 1984 and 1992 a different interpretation of ICD-9 selection Rule 3 was used to code underlying cause of death in England and Wales to that used internationally. This change means that comparisons between this period and years before and after, should be interpreted with caution. The impact of the change on mortality statistics was analysed and reported in annual mortality publications in 1984 and 1994. * The introduction of ICD-l0 for coding cause of death in 2001 also means that figures are not completely comparable with data for years before this date. Comparisons between the data before and after 2001 should therefore also be interpreted with caution. An article specifically examining the effect of the change in classification for cancer trends was published in Health Statistics Quarterly 23. ** More information about these changes can be found on the National Statistics website at www.statistics.gov.uk/icdl0mortality. (3) Figures are for registrations of death in each calendar year from 1975 to 1992 and for occurrences of death in each calendar year from 1993 onwards. * Mortality statistics: Cause 1984. DH2 No.l1, pg viii-ix. Mortality statistics: Cause 1993 (revised) and 1994. DH2 No.21, pg xxv-xxxiii. ** Brock A, Griffiths C, Rooney C (2004) The effect of the introduction of ICD-10 on cancer mortality trends in England and Wales. Health Statistics Quarterly 23, 7-17.

Child Tax Credit
Chris Ruane:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the average increase in weekly income has been for families in receipt of child tax credits in each year since its introduction. [93918]
Dawn Primarolo:
Tax credit entitlement is calculated using annual income, and we do not collect information on weekly incomes. Therefore the information requested is not available.
Departmental Expenditure
Grant Shapps:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was spent by (a) his Department, (b) its agencies and (c) its non-departmental public bodies in respect of hotel and other similar privately-provided accommodation (i) in the UK and (ii) abroad for (A) Ministers, (B) staff and (C) other persons in each year since 2001-02. [91901]
John Healey:
The available information is presented in the table. In most cases, the bodies’ accounting systems do not record accommodation costs separately, so the figures are for subsistence, which includes accommodation and associated allowances for meals. Therefore further analysis could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Information relating to overseas travel by Ministers is published on an annual basis. Information for the period 2 May 1997 to 31 March 2006 is available in the Library of the House. Information for the financial year 2006-07 will be published after the end of the current financial year.
All travel and subsistence is conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Ministerial Code, Travel by Ministers and the Civil Service Management Code.
