Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated March 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking how many drug-related deaths in (a) North Wiltshire constituency, (b) London and (c) England there were in each year since 2000. (264866)
The table attached provides the numbers of deaths for which the underlying cause was drug poisoning, in North Wiltshire parliamentary constituency, London government office region and England, from 2000 to 2007 (the latest year available).

(1 )Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for the year 2000, and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) for 2001 onwards. Deaths were included where the underlying cause was due to drug poisoning (corresponding ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes are shown in Box 1 below). (2 )Based on boundaries as of 2009. (3 )Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year. |
Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster for how many months each of the unoccupied ministerial residences in Admiralty House has been empty; and how much has been paid to date in (a) utility bills and (b) council tax in respect of each of those properties over that period. [258123]
Kevin Brennan: One flat has been vacant since 27 June 2007 and the other since 30 June 2006. Along with other shared costs, utility costs are calculated on the basis of a share of those for Admiralty House as a whole and are not held separately for individual flats. For the flat vacated in 2007 council tax to end March 2009 is £1,700 and for the other flat the cost is £3,153.
Mr. Hoban: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much the Cabinet Office has allocated for staff bonuses for staff in (a) the Cabinet Office and (b) the Prime Ministers Office in 2008-09. [252246]
Mr. Watson: The Prime Ministers Office is an integral part of the Cabinet Office.
The amount of money allocated for non-consolidated variable pay awards for the Cabinet Office, based on performance in 2008-09 is yet to be determined.
Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much expenditure was incurred by the Prime Ministers Office in respect of media relations work undertaken between May and August 2007; on what matters such work was undertaken; and if he will make a statement. [265882]
Kevin Brennan: I refer the hon. Member to the answer my hon. Friend the Minister for the Cabinet Office (Mr. Byrne) gave to the right hon. Member for Horsham (Mr. Maude) on 14 January 2009, Official Report, column 750W.
Jeff Ennis:
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many disabled people have been
employed in (a) Barnsley, (b) Doncaster and (c) South Yorkshire in the last 10 years. [264544]

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated March 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people registered as disabled have been employed in (a) Barnsley, (b) Doncaster and (c) South Yorkshire in each of the last 10 years. (264544)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) does not compile estimates of the number of persons registered as disabled who were employed. As an alternative we have provided estimates of the number of persons resident in the areas specified, who identified themselves as having a limiting health problem lasting more than 12 months, and were employed.
These estimates in Table 1 are from the Annual Population Survey (APS) and its predecessor the annual Labour Force Survey (LFS) which follow the International Labour Organisation (ILO) definition of employment. Figures have been provided for periods up to June 2008 which is the latest period for which figures are available.
As these estimates are for a subset of the population in small geographical areas, they are based on small sample sizes, and are therefore subject to large margins of uncertainty. A guide to the quality of the estimates is given in Table 1.

(1) Persons age 16+ who had a limiting health problem lasting more than 12 months. (2) Coefficients of Variation have been calculated for the latest period as an indication of the quality of the estimates. See Guide to Quality 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 CVfor 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 of Variation (CV) (%) 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.
