Criminal Records: Young People
Mr. Hayes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people under the age of 18 years gained a criminal record in each year since 1997. [188571]
Mr. Coaker: Although annual figures for each year since 1997 are not available, the Statistical Bulletins on juvenile re-offending published by the Ministry of Justice show quarterly figures for the number of offenders aged 10-17, who at the time of receiving a reprimand, final warning or conviction had no previous offences.
Figures are available for cohorts of offenders from the first quarters of 2000, 2004 and 2005. The cohorts are constructed in order to measure re-offending and therefore exclude juveniles receiving custodial sentences but include juveniles discharged from custody during each quarter.
The numbers of juveniles with no previous offences in each of the quarterly cohorts were as follows:
| Number | |
These figures have been derived from the police’s administrative IT system, which, as with any large scale recording system, is subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
Departmental Alcoholic Drinks
Mr. Weir: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department at how many events held by her Department (a) wine and (b) Fairtrade wine were served in the last three years; and what assessment her Department has made of the merits of serving Fairtrade wine at future events. [196951]
Mr. Byrne: Figures for the number of events held by my Department at which wine was served are not available. Fairtrade wine is not currently offered at the Home Office HQ at 2 Marsham Street but the facilities provider will be invited to make an assessment of the merits of doing so at future events.
Departmental Carbon Emissions
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether her Department has adopted the Carbon Trust’s Carbon Management Programme or plans to do so in the next 12 months. [198046]
Mr. Byrne: My Department has committed to working with the Carbon Trust to address its carbon emissions.
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether her Department met the target in the sustainable operations on the Government estate to reverse the then upward trend in carbon emissions by April 2007. [198047]
Mr. Byrne: My Department did not meet the sustainable operations target on the Government office estate to reverse the then upward trend in carbon emissions by April 2007. The target related to the Department’s offices which increased substantially in number through the inclusion in the figures of the national probation service estate. After allowing for this, an increase in emissions of 12 per cent. occurred. There are a range of other factors that need to be taken into account, including density of occupation, IT provision and use of air-conditioning across the estate.
Departmental Fixed Penalties
Mr. Ruffley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many fixed penalty tickets were incurred by vehicles within the purview of her Department in the last five years; and what the total cost was. [200487]
Mr. Coaker: This information is not collected centrally.
Departmental Public Relations
Mr. Jeremy Browne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many external contracts her Department held with public relations companies in each of the last 10 years; and what the total cost of those contracts was. [183165]
Mr. Byrne: Government policies and programmes affect the lives of millions of people, and in order for them to work they must be communicated effectively. The Home Office communicates directly to the public through individual campaigns that provide advice, information and reassurance. These campaigns are often supported by paid-for PR activity which is essential to ensure broader reach of our target audiences.
The following information details the number, nature and cost of PR contracts for the last five years (not including the current financial year). The costs include resources required to generate PR and any necessary supporting materials. Collating information for the last 10 years would incur disproportionate costs in terms of staff time.
