Departmental Advertising

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer which of his Department’s initiatives were advertised to the public in each of the last 10 years; and what the cost of each such campaign was in each year. [192230]

Angela Eagle: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Taunton (Mr. Browne) on 7 February 2008, Official Report, column 1364W. The majority of the Treasury’s spending on advertising is for the purposes of recruitment, except where indicated in the previous answer referred to.

Departmental Freedom of Information

Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy that documents relating to his Department which are made publicly available by the US Congress Library following a freedom of information request in the United States also be made publicly available in the UK. [192010]

10 Mar 2008 : Column 117W

Angela Eagle: Decisions to publish information are made on an individual basis, taking account of all the circumstances in any particular case.

Departmental Public Expenditure

Bob Spink: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether consideration has been given to applying gender responsive budgeting to his Department’s budget. [192108]

Angela Eagle: The UK Government are supportive of efforts to achieve gender equality and continue to work very closely with both the Women’s National Commission and the Women’s Budget Group on promoting gender equality within the UK.

In 2004, HM Treasury undertook a pilot project on gender analysis of expenditure with the Women’s Budget Group. The project demonstrated the value of gender analysis in some areas and identified what tools and expertise were necessary within Government to carry out gender analysis, but that further work was needed before gender responsive budgeting could be implemented.

In 2008, HM Treasury will be conducting further work that will determine whether it is prudent and feasible to disaggregate departmental expenditure statistics by gender.

Employment: Greater London

Mr. Evennett: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer which 10 job classifications have shown the

greatest (a) growth and (b) decline in employment in (i) the London region and (ii) Bexleyheath and Crayford constituency since 1997. [191957]

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

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 10 March 2008:

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question on the ten job classifications which have shown the greatest (a) growth (b) decline in employment in (i) the London region and (ii) Bexleyheath and Crayford constituency since 1997. (191957)

The Office for National Statistics compiles employment statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS) following International Labour Organisation definitions.

Table 1, attached, provides estimates of total employment for people resident in the London Government Office region and in the Bexleyheath and Crayford Parliamentary constituency, by occupation. The figures provided are for the twelve months ending February 2002 and for the latest period, the twelve months ending March 2007. The source data used is the APS, using Standard Occupational Classification 2000 (SOC2000). The twenty-five occupational classifications are ranked according to the largest positive change in Bexleyheath and Crayford. Data prior to 2002 are classified using Standard Occupational Classification 1990 (SOC90), consequently it is not possible to provide a consistent time series for the period requested.

Since these estimates are for a subset of the population in a small geographical area, they are based on small sample sizes, and are therefore subject to large margins of uncertainty. In this case, for the Bexleyheath and Crayford, the sample sizes are not sufficient to give accurate estimates in all instances.

At the two digit SOC2000 level there are 25 classification groups. 4. All 25 occupational classification groups are provided, ranked according to the largest positive change in Bexleyheath and Crayford. Source: Annual Population Survey
