Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking what proportion of those made redundant in each of the last 12 months were women by (a) region and (b) age. (287328)
The attached tables provide estimates for the information requested for the latest four quarters from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). Monthly data are not available.
As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty.
The figures in the tables are derived from the LFS microdata which are weighted using the official population estimates published in autumn 2007. They are not entirely consistent with the figures published in the monthly Labour Market Statistics Statistical Bulletin which are weighted using more up-to-date population estimates.

Mr. Ellwood: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what recent discussions the Secretary of State has had with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on levels of funding allocated by regional development agencies for expenditure on support for the tourism industry. [287908]
Ms Rosie Winterton: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) contributes towards the regional development agencies' (RDAs) single programme budget.

RDAs are currently revising their corporate plans and DCMS are involved in this process.
