Mr. Evennett: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many deaths there were in (a) Bexley and (b) Greater London as a result of being (i) overweight and (ii) underweight in each of the last five years for which figures are available. [162073]
Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 13 November 2007:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many deaths there were in (a) Bexley, (b) Greater London as a result of being (i) overweight and (ii) underweight in each of the last five years for which information is available. (162073)
The terms overweight and underweight are not normally used in the registration of deaths. Consequently, figures can only be provided for deaths recorded using the medically recognised terms obesity and malnutrition or effects of hunger. The number of deaths so recorded is unlikely to be a complete or accurate reflection of the actual numbers of deaths which result, directly or indirectly, from being overweight or underweight.
The attached tables provide the numbers of deaths where (i) obesity and (ii) malnutrition or effects of hunger were mentioned on the death certificate, for (a) the London Borough of Bexley and (b) Greater London, for the years 2002 to 2006 (the latest year available).

Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants in his Department (a) transferred to other Government departments and (b) left the Civil Service in each of the last five years. [162730]
Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 13 November 2007:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning how many civil servants in departments (a) transferred to other Government departments and (b) left the Civil Service in each of the last five years. (162730)
Statistics on employees leaving the Civil Service are published as part of the annual Civil Service Statistics publication. The latest published statistics are for 2006.
Statistics on civil servants transferring between departments are not published. In order to provide information on transfers out to other departments, an ad hoc analysis has been required. This analysis is based on the Mandate survey which currently provides approximately 90 per cent. coverage of Civil Service departments and agencies. A breakdown by department has been provided for the latest year. For earlier years, only a total for the Civil Service could be provided.
