Treasury
Cannabis: South West Region
Mr. Steen: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) yachts and (b) other boats containing cannabis were seized in the South West in each year since 2001. [160640]
Angela Eagle: National information on seizures made by HM Revenue and Customs since 2001 is contained in the annual reports for HM Customs and Excise and HM Revenue and Customs, available at www.hmrc.gov.uk
Information of seizures at a local level cannot be disclosed as this would provide information of value to those seeking to circumvent HM Revenue and Customs’ controls, thereby prejudicing the prevention and detection of crime.
Children
Mr. Willetts: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the gender ratio was for children born in England and Wales in each income decile in the last year for which data are available. [160492]
Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Colin Mowl, dated 25 October 2007:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your question on the gender ratio for children born in England and Wales in each income decile in the last year for which data is available. I am replying in her absence. (160492)
In England and Wales parental income is not collected at birth registration. I am, therefore, unable to provide you with the statistics you have requested.
Clostridium: Death
Mr. Lansley: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) people and (b) people under the age of (i) one and (ii) five died from (A) clostridium difficile and (B) MRSA infection in each year from 1997 to 2006. [160268]

Customs Officers: South West Region
Mr. Steen:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many customs officers (a) there were and (b)
were withdrawn in the South West in each of the last five years. [160746]
Angela Eagle: HM Revenue and Customs currently have approximately 4,500 frontline officers deployed to tackle smuggling at the frontier on an intelligence-led basis where risk is greatest.
HM Revenue and Customs do not disclose the numbers of staff deployed to specific locations, as to do so would provide information of value to those seeking to circumvent HM Revenue and Customs controls, thereby prejudicing the prevention and detection of crime.
