Smuggling: Firearms

Julia Goldsworthy: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many seizures of illegal firearms were made by HM Revenue and Customs staff in each year since 1997; and how many individuals were prosecuted as a result of such seizures in each year. [127888]

Dawn Primarolo: The answer to the question is as follows:

	Number of seizures of illegal firearms	Number of individuals prosecuted
2002-03	n/a	4
2003-04	171	8
2004-05	83	4
2005-06	229	3
n/a = Not available.

The number of seizures of firearms includes air firearms as defined in the Firearms Act 1968 as amended with the exception of self defence sprays, stun guns and parts of firearms.

The following information is not available:

the number of seizures prior to 1 April 2003;

the number of individuals prosecuted prior to 1 April 2002; and prosecutions undertaken as a result of seizures that were referred to police forces for investigation.

Students: Loans

Mr. Carmichael: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the total value was of student loan repayments received by HM Revenue and Customs during the financial years (a) 2003-04 and (b) 2004-05; and how much of this has been passed on to the Student Loan Company. [127873]

Dawn Primarolo: Published 2003-04 and 2004-05 student loans cash receipts figures are available in the 2005 and 2006 HM Revenue and Customs Annual Report which can be accessed at

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/about/reports.htm

HMRC passes on all receipts from student loan collection to the Department for Education and Skills on a quarterly basis.

Mr. Carmichael: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer in how many cases student loan repayments made to the Inland Revenue during the financial year 2004-05 have not yet been passed on to the Student Loans Company. [127940]

Dawn Primarolo: HM Revenue and Customs will only know the total number of borrowers who have had repayments deducted by their employer when they have finished processing all 1.6 million employers' annual returns for the financial year 2004-05.

However, we currently estimate that 1.9 per cent. of 2004-05 student loan repayments have not yet been passed on to the Student Loans Company.

Taxation: Football

Frank Dobson: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether non-British footballers playing in the English Premier League pay UK tax on their incomes, including bonuses; [128022]

(4) whether Premier League football clubs owned by non-British individuals or corporate bodies are liable to UK taxation on their (a) profits and (b) capital gains. [128025]

The correct tax treatment will be determined by the particular facts and circumstances.
