Departmental Marketing

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what products featuring departmental or Government branding were procured by (a) his Department and (b) its agencies in each of the last five years. [179918]

Angela Eagle: The Chancellor’s Department and its agencies have procured a number of Government and departmental branded products over the last five years including pens, mugs, carrier bags, mouse mats in relation to agency re-branding, awareness campaigns and conferences. However, it is not possible to provide comprehensive details as these could be supplied only at disproportionate cost.

Departmental Redundancy

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the cost of redundancies was to his Department in each month since 30 June 2006. [180486]

Angela Eagle: I refer to the answer given to the hon. Member on 7 January 2008, Official Report, column 313W. The cost of redundancies in 2006-07 was £1,140,000. Monthly data could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Departmental Wines

Mike Penning: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to ensure that English wine is served exclusively or at the request of guests at meals, parties and receptions hosted by his Department; and if he will make a statement. [164286]

Angela Eagle: I am pleased that the changes secured by the UK in negotiating the new CAP wine regime will enable the UK wine production sector to continue the rapid expansion seen in recent years in response to strong consumer demand.

All public procurement procedures must comply with the EC Treaty. The key principles of the treaty, from a public procurement point of view, are the free movement of goods and services, and non-discrimination on the grounds of nationality.

English wines, however, can be supplied upon request.

Employment

Hugh Bayley: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people were (a) employed (i) full-time and (ii) part-time and (b) unemployed in (A) City of York constituency, (B) City of York Council area, (C) Yorkshire and the Humber region and (D) the United Kingdom (1) at the latest date for which figures are available and (2) at the same date in each of the previous 10 years. [183405]

Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
