The figures in the table are derived from the LFS microdata which are weighted using the official population estimates published in autumn 2007. Consequently they are not entirely consistent with the figures published in the monthly Labour Market Statistics First Release, or the non-UK born employment figures published every quarter, which are weighted using more up-to-date population estimates. However, in this case the difference is very small. The figures in the table add up to 3,820 thousand non-UK born people in employment, compared with a figure of 3,819 thousand published on 11 February.

| (1 )Coefficients of Variation have been calculated as an indication of the quality of the estimates, as described below: Guide to Quality: The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of an estimate, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV - for example, for an estimate of 200 with a CV of 5 per cent. we would expect the population total to be within the range 180-220. Key Coefficient Statistical robustness * 0 [le] CV <5 Estimates are considered precise. ** 5 [le] CV <10 Estimates are considered reasonably precise. *** 10 [le] CV < 20 Estimates are considered acceptable. **** CV ≥ 20 Estimates are considered too unreliable for practical purposes. Note: It should be noted that the above estimates exclude people in most types of communal establishment (e.g. hotels, boarding houses, hostels, mobile home sites etc).

Food Poisoning
Norman Lamb: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many deaths were caused by food poisoning by (a) salmonella, (b) campylobacter, (c) E. coli and (d) other food-borne pathogens in each of the last five years. [261500]
Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many deaths were caused by food poisoning by (a) salmonella, (b)campylobacter, (c) E. coli and (d) other food borne pathogens in each of the last five years. (261500)
The table attached provides the number of deaths with an underlying cause of (a) salmonella infection, (b) Campylobacter infection, (c) Escherichia coli infection and (d) other food poisoning causes, from 2003 to 2007 (the latest year available). No information is available on whether the infection that caused these deaths was specifically acquired through food, water or any other source.
Gastrointestinal Cancer
Mr. Evans: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many residents of (a) Ribble Valley, (b) Lancashire and (c) England were diagnosed with bowel cancer in each of the last 10 years. [261571]

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many residents of (a) Ribble Valley, (b) Lancashire and (c) England were diagnosed with bowel cancer in each of the last 10 years. [261571]
The latest available figures for newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) are for the year 2006. Numbers of newly diagnosed cases of bowel cancer in each calendar year since 1997 for residents of (a) Ribble Valley, (b) Lancashire and (c) England are in Table 1.

Job Vacancies
Dr. Kumar: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many (a) skilled and (b) unskilled job vacancies there were in (i) the UK, (ii) England, (iii) the North East and (iv) Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency at the latest date for which information is available. [260786]
Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many (a) skilled and (b) unskilled job vacancies there were in (i) the UK, (ii) England, (iii) the North East and (iv) Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency for the latest date for which information is available. (260786)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles estimates of job vacancies for the UK from the Vacancy Survey. No figures for geographic areas below UK are available from this survey. An alternative source of vacancies statistics is Jobcentre Plus administrative data, which does hold information on geographic location of vacancies notified to Jobcentre Plus. However, neither of these sources have information on vacancies split between skilled and unskilled jobs.
Pension Schemes: Private Sector
Mr. Maude: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many and what proportion of full-time (a) private sector employees and (b) public sector employees are members of a final salary pension scheme. [258596]
Kevin Brennan: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many and what proportion of full-time (a) private sector employees and (b) public sector employees are members of a final salary pension scheme. (258596)
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), earned out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. It provides information about the levels, distribution and make-up of earnings and hours paid for employees within industries, occupations and regions. ASHE also provides estimates of UK employees by type of pension arrangements within the company. It is not designed to give estimates of the numbers of employees in a particular pension category so only proportions are provided below.
In 2008, 86 per cent. of public sector full-time employees and 16 per cent. of private sector full-time employees were in a defined-benefit pension scheme. Final salary pension schemes are categorised as defined benefit pension schemes. Defined benefit schemes are determined by the rules of the scheme and may be related to final salary, but may also be related to the average salary over a number of years.
Population: Age
Mr. Waterson: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what percentage of the population in (a) Eastbourne, (b) East Sussex and (c) England are (i) over 45, (ii) over 70 and (iii) over 80 years old. [257206]

The following table shows the percentage of the estimated resident population who are over 45, 70 and 80 years of age in England, East Sussex and Eastbourne. The estimates are for mid-2007 and are the latest available.
