Mr. Pickles:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government whether (a) HM Revenue and Customs and (b) the Valuation Office Agency (i) have and (ii) will have access to data from the National Register of Social Housing. [235080]
Mr. Iain Wright:
Neither HM Revenue and Customs nor the Valuation Office Agency currently have access to data from the National Register of Social Housing (NROSH). Any request for access to NROSH from a Government Department would be considered on its specific and individual merits.

Chris Ruane:

Mr. Iain Wright:

Justice
Community Orders
Miss McIntosh:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many community sentences have been completed in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [234041]
Mr. Malik:
The following table shows the number of community sentences that terminated in England and Wales for 2005-07. It also provides the percentage split for the reason of termination, including the percentage that completed successfully (those that ran their full course and that terminated early for good progress).
The improvement in positive terminations for non-community orders reflects the fact that these are pre-Criminal Justice Act 2003 sentences and were only given for offences committed before 4 April 2005. Negative terminations tend to occur earlier in the life of an order, leaving a higher proportion of these orders to terminate successfully over the course of time.
