Jenny Willott: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the average duration of single periods of sick leave taken by staff in (a) her Department, (b) its agencies and (c) the non-departmental bodies for which it has responsibility who gave (i) stress and (ii) mental health and behavioural disorders as the reason for their absence was in each of the last 10 years; and if she will make a statement. [216109]
Mr. Woolas: The following table shows the average duration of single period sick leave taken by staff in the HO and agencies from 2005-06 to 2007-08.
UKBA's data prior to 2005 are unavailable due to data migration to a new management system and will incur disproportionate cost to extract.
HO HQ, IPS and CRB data are unavailable and would involve disproportionate cost to manually check each record. However, the Home Office is currently undergoing a HR change programme, one area of which is looking at HR data, measures, and reporting. PQs such as this which are currently a disproportionate cost to answer will be fed into the change programme activity with a view to improving the position in the future.
The HO management information databases do not record sickness information in the categories the PQ refers to.
The HO does not report on non-departmental public bodies data.

Deportation
Anne Main: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many people were recommended for deportation from England and Wales in each of the last three years, broken down by county; [238873]
(2) how many people were recommended for deportation from England and Wales on more than
one occasion in each of the last three years, broken down by county. [238874]
Bridget Prentice: I have been asked to reply. The following table shows the number of recommendations for deportation orders issued by judges in the Crown Court in England and Wales in each of the last three financial years.
Figures are broken down according to the county in which the relevant Crown Court centre is located. This may differ from the county of residence of the defendant and other key parties involved in the court case. Some counties do not have a Crown Court centre located within their boundaries; these are not shown in the table.
During this period there were 28 occasions where a defendant was the subject of a recommendation for a deportation order having already been the subject of a previous such recommendation at some point since April 2000 (the earliest point at which data are available). There were six such occurrences in 2005-06, seven in 2006-07 and 15 in 2007-08. However, these data are not broken down to county level.
These figures only show judicial recommendations for deportation made during criminal proceedings in the Crown Court. More general immigration statistics can be found on the Home Office website;
