Letter from Jil Matheson, dated December 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked for to reply to your recent question asking what the (a) diagnosis and (b) mortality rate was for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Leeds, West constituency in each of the last 15 years. (306992)
Figures on newly diagnosed cases (incidence) of chronic lung disease and coronary heart disease are not readily available. Mortality and incidence rates for parliamentary constituencies which do not share boundaries exactly with a local authority can be calculated only from 2001 onwards. The tables below provide (a) the age standardised cancer incidence rate and (b) age standardised mortality rates for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) cancer in Leeds, West parliamentary constituency for the years 2001 to 2007 (the latest available).
Parliamentary constituency population estimates on which these rates are based are experimental statistics, that is, statistics which are in a testing or consultation phase, and therefore should be treated with caution.
| Table 1: Age-standardised cancer incidence rates,( 1, 2) Leeds, West parliamentary constituency,( 3 ) 2001 to 2007( 4,5) | |
| Cancer (cases per 100,000) | |
| (1) Age-standardised cancer registration rates per 100,000 population, standardised to the European Standard Population. Age-standardised rates are used to allow comparison between populations which may contain different proportions of people of different ages. (2) Cancer incidence defined using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes C00-C97 excluding code C44: non-melanoma skin cancer. (3) Based on boundaries and postcode allocation, as of 2009. (4) Newly diagnosed cases registered in each calendar year. (5) Parliamentary constituency population estimates used to calculate the incidence rates are experimental statistics. | |
Employment: Leeds
John Battle: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many people are employed in (1) the service sector in Leeds; [306583]
(2) the financial sector in Leeds; [306584]
(3) commerce in each industry sector in (a) Leeds, West constituency and (b) Leeds; [306585]
(4) manufacturing in each industry sector in (a) Leeds, West constituency and (b) Leeds. [306586]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
Letter from Jil Matheson, dated December 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking how many people are employed in the service sector in Leeds; how many people are employed in the financial sector in Leeds; how many people are employed in commerce in each industry sector in (a) Leeds, West constituency and (b) Leeds; and how many people are employed in manufacturing in each industry sector in (a) Leeds, West constituency and (b) Leeds (306583,306584, 306585 and 306586)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles employment statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey (APS) following International Labour Organisation (ILO) definitions. Unfortunately the sample size does not support analyses of employment by industry for the Leeds, West Constituency.
Table 1 shows the number of persons in employment by each industrial sector for persons resident in Leeds for the latest available 12 month period, ending in March 2009 from the APS.
As with any sample survey, estimates from the APS arc subject to a margin of uncertainty. A guide to the quality of the estimates is given in table 1.
National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at: http://www.nomisweb.co.uk.
Gift Aid
Mr. Brady: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office which charities claimed more from the Exchequer in Gift Aid than the sum spent on charitable purposes in the most recent year for which figures are available. [307644]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Charity Commission. I have asked the commission to reply.
Letter from Andrew Hind, dated 14 December 2009:
As the Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, I have been asked to respond to your written Parliamentary Question on which charities claimed more from the Exchequer in Gift Aid than the sum spent on charitable purposes in the most recent year for which figures are available (307644).
The charity accounting framework does not require charities to account for Gift Aid as a separate item and we do not hold information on Gift Aid claims or receipts.
I am sorry I am unable to provide more information in respect of this question.
National Income: Leeds
John Battle: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the gross domestic product per head of the resident population in the City of Leeds was in each year since 1992. [306589]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
Letter from Jil Matheson, dated December 2009:
The Office for National Statistics publishes regional GVA rather than GDP. GVA is measured at current basic prices, which is GDP less taxes on products, plus subsidies on products. GVA by NLJTS3 regions, (principally individual counties and unitary authorities) has been calculated since 1995. The latest year for which GVA is published at NUTS3 level is 2007 and the earliest is 1995.
The headline GVA estimates for the Leeds NUTS3 area, shown as £ per head figures, for the period 1995-2007, are shown in the table below:
