Hotels

Mr. Heald: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much was spent on hotel bills by the Prime Minister's Office in 2007-08. [236647]

Kevin Brennan: The Prime Minister's Office is an integral part of the Cabinet Office.

The information requested for the Cabinet Office is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Housing: Owner Occupation

Joan Ryan: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many homeowners there were in Enfield North constituency in each year since 1997. [235446]

Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated November 2008:

As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent question, asking how many homeowners there were in Enfield North in each year since 1997. (235446)

The requested information is not available for all years requested. The tables below have been taken from two different sources.

For 2001, the figures in the table below have been extracted from 2001 Census Key Statistics table KS 18—Tenure.

	All households including rented	Households: Owner occupied: Owns outright	Households: Owner occupied: Owns with a mortgage or loan	Owner occupied: Part rent, part mortgage
Enfield North	38,264	10,074	16,271	307

Some figures are also available from the Annual Population Survey but as Parliamentary Constituency is a low level geography, the figures are subject to significant sampling error. Nevertheless the latest figures are:

Enfield North	All Households including rented	Households: Owned outright	Being bought with mortgage or loan	Part rent, part mortgage
2007	44,942	9,594	17,440	⁽¹⁾—

Life Expectancy: East Midlands

Mr. Skinner: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what the life expectancy is of (a) men and (b) women in (i) the East Midlands and (ii) the South East; and what it was in (A) 1997 and (B) 2001. [238628]

Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated November 2008:

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the life expectancy is of (a) men and (b) women in (i) the East Midlands and (ii) the South East; and what it was in (A) 1997 and (B) 2001. (238628)

Life expectancy figures arc calculated as three year rolling averages. The table below provides the period life expectancy at birth for (a) men and (b) women in (i) the East Midlands and (ii) the South East government office regions for 1996-98, 2000-02 and 2005-07 (the latest figures available).

⁽¹⁾ Period life expectancy at birth is an estimate of the average number of years a newborn baby would survive if he or she experienced the area’s age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout his or her life. The figure reflects mortality among those living in the area in each time period, rather than mortality among those born in each area. It is not therefore the number of years a baby born in the area in each time period could actually expect to live, both because the death rates of the area are likely to change in the future and because many of those born in the area will live elsewhere for at least some part of their lives. ⁽²⁾ Using Government office region boundaries as of 2006 for all the years shown. ⁽³⁾ Three-year rolling averages, based on deaths registered in each year and mid-year population estimates.

National Economic Council

Mr. Hands: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) how many times the National Economic Council has met; [237632]

(2) which members of the National Economic Council have been absent from each meeting of the Council. [237634]

Mr. Byrne: On the 3 October 2008, the Prime Minister announced the formation of the National Economic Council, a full Cabinet Committee which would meet regularly to discuss the co-ordination of economic policy across Government.

Performance Appraisal

David Simpson: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many staff in his Department did not achieve an acceptable assessment grade in their annual report in the latest reporting year for which figures are available. [235231]

Member for Shipley of 8 October 2008, Official Report, column 618W, on political office: furniture, whether the (a) capital and (b) running costs of the Downing Street Political Office (i) desks, (ii) telephones and (iii) computers are met from the 10 Downing Street budget.

Mr. Vara: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many cases of prostate cancer have been diagnosed in England and Wales in each of the last 10 years, broken down by (a) primary care trust and (b) strategic health authority area. [235704]

⁽¹⁾ Prostate cancer is coded to C61 In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). ⁽²⁾ Based on NHS boundaries for strategic health areas as of July 2006. ⁽³⁾ Based on NHS boundaries for primary care organisations as of October 2006. ⁽⁴⁾ Each primary care organisation (PCO) in England is listed under the strategic health authority (SHA) to which it reports. The 152 primary care organisations include 148 primary care trusts (PCTs), and four care organisations (CO's). PCOs are not all coterminous with SHAs— see Annex C footnotes at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/health_areas.asp ⁽⁵⁾ Figures for the local health boards, which came into force in April 2003, are given for Wales. Note: The numbers of cases for the strategic health authorities (SHAs) have been grouped together at the top of the table because the total number of cases for each SHA is not always the same as the total number of cases for the primary care organisations (PCOs) reporting to each SHA. This is because PCOs boundaries are not an coterminous with SHAs boundaries as detailed in Sources: Office for National Statistics and Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit
