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 were recorded due to listeria infections in each of the last five years. (162913)
The latest year for which figures are available is 2005. The table below shows the number of deaths where listeria infection was either the underlying cause of death, or was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate as a contributory factor, in England and Wales from 2001 to 2005.
Listeria: Death

The table attached provides the number of deaths where listeria infection was either the underlying cause of death, or was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate as a contributory factor, in the UK, for 2001 to 2005 (the latest year available). There were no deaths attributed to listeria in Norfolk county in those years.

Members: Correspondence
Mr. Burns: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects HM Revenue and Customs to reply substantively to the letter of 30 April 2007 from the hon. Member for West Chelmsford, regarding a constituent, Mrs. C. Austin (HMRC ref: 2007/05 00517); what the reasons are for the time taken to reply; and if he will make a statement. [162402]
Jane Kennedy: Although it is HM Revenue and Customs’ practice to reply to the majority of letters from right hon. and hon. Members within three weeks, following the administrative issue I referred to in my statement of 25 July 2007, Official Report, columns 62-63WS, some parts of HMRC’s tax credits business have, unfortunately, been subject to delays. HMRC regret this and will continue to try to deal with all cases as quickly as they can.
These delays are a result of HMRC having to look again at cases potentially affected by the procedural error and to ensure that households/individuals affected by the error are not given incorrect advice in advance of their award being reviewed.
The three months indicated in the recent letter to the hon. Member was intended to be helpful and indicate the latest date by which HMRC hoped to have resolved the inquiry.
Minimum Wage
Andrew George: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to the answer of 30 October 2007, Official Report, column 1185W, on the minimum wage, what percentage of those in the South West Region earning less than the minimum wage are (a) male and (b) female. [163955]
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:
