Communities and Local Government

Departmental Pay

Grant Shapps: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much was spent on salaries for her Department's staff working on matters relating to housing in each of the last five years. [265003]

Mr. Khan: Details of staff salaries are recorded on the Department's payroll but cannot be disaggregated to identify staff working on matters relating to housing in each of the last five years without incurring a disproportionate cost.

Please note that the following table shows salaries for staff in CLG's housing group. It does not include legal/planning staff who may spend a percentage of their staff or time working on housing related issues, cross-cutting departments who are interlinked with housing and staff who work on other general housing ‘related' issues who are not within one of the above directorates.

Internet: Marketing

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when his Department plans to respond to the proposals for a system of self-regulation of all types of online media marketing communications referred to in the Byron Review Action Plan. [268940]

Barbara Follett [holding answer 20 April 2009]: The Advertising Association's Digital Media Group has been examining this issue and Professor Byron recommended that progress be reviewed when the conclusions of the assessment of the impact of the commercial world on children's well-being are received. I understand that the Group continues to work on a practicable and effective way forward to address the concerns identified in the Byron Review about those online marketing communications not already covered by the Committee of Advertising Practise (CAP) Code. We look forward to their securing the necessary agreements across industry to resolve any outstanding issues.

22 Apr 2009 : Column 692W

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 22 April 2009:

(1 )Identified using the methodology described in Office for National Statistics: Report: Deaths involving Clostridium difficile: England and Wales, 2001-2005. Health Statistics Quarterly 33, 71-75.
(2) Figures for England and Wales include deaths of non-residents.
(3) All deaths in England and Wales are coded by the Office for National Statistics according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The Tenth revision (ICD-10) has been used since 2001.
In the Ninth revision of the ICD (ICD-9) there are no specific codes that would allow deaths mentioning Clostridium difficile to be easily identified. Figures for 1998 and 2000 are therefore not available as ICD-9 was used in these years. Deaths registered in 1999 were coded to both ICD-9 and ICD-10 as part of a special study to compare the two ICD revisions, and have therefore been used to give an additional year of data on deaths involving Clostridium difficile.
(4) Figures are for deaths registered in each calendar year.

Departmental ICT

Jenny Willott: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what estimate he has made of the (a) energy consumed by, (b) energy cost of and (c) carbon dioxide emissions from each category of IT device in each division of his Department in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement. [269541]

Mr. Watson: In 2007-08 the Cabinet Office used 929,000 kWh of electricity at a cost of £61,000 for its IT services. This equates to carbon dioxide emissions of 401 tonnes. The main category of ICT devices and their energy consumption was:

In June 2007, my Department became part of the public sector flex, a framework for the provision of shared ICT services. Flex provides a number of energy saving measures which are estimated to save the Cabinet Office 84,000 kWh of electricity, equivalent to 36 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, during its first year of operation.


22 Apr 2009 : Column 693W

The Cabinet Office does not hold separate energy consumption figures of IT services prior to 2007-08.

Jenny Willott: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what steps his Department has taken to address the effect on levels of carbon dioxide emissions from his Department of its ICT purchases since the publication of the Greening Government ICT Strategy; and if he will make a statement. [269558]

Mr. Watson: The Cabinet Office has already implemented the following steps:

The Cabinet Office is implementing public sector flex, a framework offering a shared ICT service open to all public bodies. Under the terms of the contract with the Cabinet Office.
