Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many furniture manufacturing businesses were (a) registered and (b) de-registered for VAT in each year since 1997. [107406]
Margaret Hodge: I have been asked to reply.
The following table shows the number of furniture manufacturers that have (a) registered and (b) de-registered for VAT in each year since 1997. The start of year stock of VAT registered businesses is also shown.

VAT registration and de-registration data do not capture all business activity. Businesses are unlikely to be registered if their turnover falls below the compulsory VAT threshold, which has risen in each year since 1997. Similarly, businesses that de-register will not necessarily have closed. Only 1.8 million out of 4.3 million businesses (42 per cent.) were registered for VAT at the start of 2005.
Mr. Francois: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what effect on the income generated to the Exchequer has resulted from the extension of the higher rate of insurance premium tax to all travel insurance since 1998. [104642]
John Healey: Her Majestys Revenue and Customs does not collect data on insurance premium tax from individual types of insurance.
John Cummings: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many jobs have been relocated to (a) the north-east and (b) elsewhere following the Lyons Review; and if he will make a statement. [105120]
Mr. Timms: Strong progress has been made towards our target of relocating 20,000 civil service posts out of London and the south-east by 2010 and by the end of September 2006 more than 10,500 posts had already been moved to every nation and region in the UK. Of these, more than 640 went to the north-east.
Mr. Waterson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the mortality rate was of (a) men and (b) women in Eastbourne in each year since 1996. [105112]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 11 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the mortality rate was of (a) men and (b) women in Eastbourne in each year since 1996. (105112)
The attached table provides the age-standardised mortality rate for (a) men and (b) women in Eastbourne local authority for the years 1996 to 2005 (the latest available).

Mr. Waterson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in each ward in Eastbourne constituency in each of the last 10 years. [105113]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 11 December 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in each ward in Eastbourne constituency in each of the last 10 years. (105113)
Figures on the incidence of chronic lung disease and coronary heart disease are not readily available. Mortality and incidence rates are not available for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority, or with any combination of whole wards; consequently, figures are given for Eastbourne local authority. The numbers of deaths and cancer registrations per year in each ward in Eastbourne local authority are too small for the reliable calculation of rates.
The attached tables provide (a) the age-standardised cancer incidence rate in Eastbourne local authority for the years 1995 to 2004 (the latest available), and (b) the age-standardised mortality rates for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Eastbourne local authority for the years 1996 to 2005 (the latest available).
