A direct estimate of the number of projected births from 2008 to 2031 accounted for by net migration is not available. However, it is possible to compare the results of the principal projection with the 2006-based ‘zero migration’ variant projection. The ‘zero migration’ variant projection assumes that net migration will be zero at all ages throughout the projection period but makes the same assumptions about future fertility and mortality as the principal projection.
On this basis, the table also shows the estimated number of projected births attributable to assumed net migration from mid-2006 onwards. There are limitations to this as a direct estimate of the impact of net migration on the number of births over the period 2008-2031. These limitations are that the comparison will:
exclude births to migrants who arrived in the UK prior to mid-2006; but
include, in later years, births to UK-born women who are children of migrants who arrived in the UK after mid-2006.

Community Development: Finance
Mr. Steen: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many grants have been made annually by the Active Communities Unit since May 2006; how much that represented; and how many grants were given to anti-trafficking non-governmental organisations. [266857]
Kevin Brennan: In May 2006 the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) was created in the Cabinet Office, incorporating the responsibilities of the active communities directorate in the Home Office and the social enterprise unit in the former Department for Trade and Industry.
In 2006-07 and 2007-08 the OTS did not make any grants to anti-trafficking non- governmental organisations.
Information about 2008-09 will only be available when the Cabinet Office Annual Report and Accounts are laid before Parliament. This is expected to be before summer recess.

Dr. Gibson: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many deaths by overdose from drugs in Class (a) A, (b) B and (c) C there were in the last 12 months for which figures are available. [267865]
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 by overdose from drugs in class (a) A, (b) B and (c) C there were in the last 12 months for which figures are available. (267865)
The table attached provides the number of deaths where any drug in class (a) A, (b) B and (c) C was mentioned on the death certificate, in England and Wales, for 2007 (the latest year available).

| (1) Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). Deaths were included where the underlying cause was due to drug poisoning (corresponding ICD-10 codes are shown in Box 1) and where a drug classified as A, B or C was mentioned on the death certificate. (2) Some deaths may be counted in more than one category, for example if heroin and cannabis are recorded on the death certificate the death will be counted once under class A and once under class B. (3) Figures include deaths of non residents. (4) Figures are for deaths registered in 2007. | |
