Innovation, Universities and Skills
Educational Institutions: Crime
Mr. Hayes: To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills how many crimes were reported to have taken place in teaching establishments for which his Department is responsible in 2007; and if he will make a statement. [178241]
Mr. Coaker: I have been asked to reply.
The Home Office has responsibility for crimes recorded by the police. However, from the statistics which are collected centrally it is not possible to identify offences committed in teaching establishments.

Absent Parents
Andrew Selous: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the Office for National Statistics' most recent estimate is of the number and proportion of children who live apart from their (a) father and (b) parents. [180109]
Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 21 January 2008:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your request for the most recent estimate of the number and proportion of children who live apart from their (a) father and (b) parents. (180109)
The Office for National Statistics does not make such estimates.
Children living with their mother but not their natural father include those in lone mother households, those in households with a mother and step-father and any living with their mother (but not their father) in communal establishments. Estimates for the first of these categories are readily available from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) for the second quarter of 2007 (April to June). Of the estimated 12.9 million dependent children living in families in households in the United Kingdom, 2.8 million dependent children were in lone mother families. Comparable figures for the other two categories are not readily available. For step families, available estimates based on the 2001 Census relate to number of families and do not separately identify the number of children living with a step-father.
There is no single estimate of children living apart from both parents. This group includes children living in households with other relatives (e.g. grandparents) or in foster or adoptive families; and children living in communal establishments without their parents e.g. those 'looked after children' in residential homes.
