| (1) This table contains full-time equivalent figures that have been rounded to the nearest whole number. Because of rounding, there may be an apparent discrepancy between totals and the sums of the constituent items. (2) Full-time equivalent includes those on career breaks or maternity/paternity leave. (3) Police community support officers were introduced in statute in 2002, therefore data is not available prior to 2002-03. (4) Strength figures as at 31 March 2005 onwards include those staff on career breaks or maternity/paternity leave. Therefore these figures are not comparable with those provided for other years in the table. | |||||
Crimes of Violence: Children
Mr. Lancaster: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many children under the age of 18 in Milton Keynes have been charged with assault in each year between 1995 and 2007. [162747]

Neighbourhood Watch Schemes
Tom Brake: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Neighbourhood Watch schemes are active; how many of those receive Government funding; how many there are in each Government region; and if she will make a statement. [162537]
Mr. Coaker: Neighbourhood Watch schemes are set up on a voluntary basis and are not subject to monitoring by the Government. It is therefore not possible to state how many schemes are currently active. The Government do not directly fund schemes or associations but provide support through the funding of public liability insurance, publications and literature, maintenance of a website and managing the Neighbourhood Watch logo.
As of 1 November 2007, 127,000 Neighbourhood Watch schemes in England and Wales had registered for public liability insurance via the Home Office Neighbourhood Watch website.

Mr. McNulty: The available data are published by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and are given in the following table.

Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Birds: Conservation
Mr. Morley: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when he intends to make a decision on the continuation of the Bird Registration Scheme under section 7 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981; and if he will make a statement. [162329]
Joan Ruddock: No decision has been made on any changes to the Bird Registration Scheme. It is anticipated that any changes that were made would be in force by 1 October 2008.
Climate Change
Mr. Meacher: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the level of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK was from (a) power generation, (b) road transport, (c) air travel, (d) industry, (e) buildings, (f) households and (g) other sources in each year since 1990. [162276]
Mr. Woolas: Tables 1 and 2 show figures for UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a source basis and end user basis, respectively. The figures are taken from the UK Climate Change Programme Annual Report, which was laid before Parliament on 26 July.
Emissions arising from electricity are attributed to the consumer, rather than the power station, in the end user basis. Figures are given for 1990-2005, the latest year for which data is available. Emissions data from 2006 will be available in January 2008.
Disaggregated transport emissions are given in Table 3. It should be noted that emissions from domestic aviation are included in our Kyoto target, excluding emissions from international aviation. Emissions from households are counted under "residential", emissions from commercial properties under "business", and emissions from public buildings, including schools and hospitals, under "public". The UK does not separately report emissions from buildings.
