Departmental Surveys
Grant Shapps: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if she will place in the Library a copy of the results of her Department's most recent staff survey; which organisation carried out the survey; and what the cost of the survey was. [311507]
Angela E. Smith: The Cabinet Office will publish the October 2009 people survey results on our website in February 2010. Following publication we will place a copy of the results in the Library.
The supplier of the Cabinet Office October 2009 people survey was ORC International which was procured by the Department to deliver the first cross-civil service people survey. The people survey replaced all existing staff surveys in the civil service with a single questionnaire.
The cost of the Cabinet Office survey will be £30,550.

[310984]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning what estimate has been made of the number and proportion of people employed in manufacturing in (a) the UK, (b) Gloucestershire and (c) Stroud constituency in (i) 1980, (ii) 1990, (iii) 2000 and (iv) the latest year for which figures are available. (310984)
Table 1 shows the number of employees in the manufacturing sector for the United Kingdom. Table 2 shows the number of employees in the manufacturing sector at the regional level. Figures for both tables are for the number of employees and exclude self employed. At a regional level figures are unavailable for 1980 and 1990 and so estimates for the nearest available period have been provided.

| Period | Employees (thousand) | Proportion of people employed in the manufacturing sector (percentage) |
| Note: Figures are based on a quarterly series. 1980, 1990, 2000 are based on quarter 4, 2008 is based on quarter 3. This is consistent with the annual figures in table 2. Source: Workforce jobs | ||
| Table 2: Number and proportion of employees in the manufacturing sector in Gloucestershire and Stroud constituency | ||||
| Gloucestershire | Stroud constituency | |||
| Period | Employees (thousand) | Proportion (percentage) | Employees (thousand) | Proportion (percentage) |
| (1) Figures are from the Census of employment based on SIC(68). (2) Figures are from the Annual Census of Employment. (3) Figures are from the Annual Business Inquiry. Estimates from the Annual Business Inquiry for 2000 and 2008 are on different bases. An assessment of changes in survey methodology suggests that the estimated total number of employees for the manufacturing sector for GB was increased by 8,000 or 0.3 per cent. Direct comparisons of employee estimates over these different periods and surveys should be treated with caution. | ||||
Married People
Mr. Laws: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many adults were living in marriage in each year since 1980; and if she will make a statement. [310670]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your question asking how many adults were living in marriage in each year since 1980. (310670)
The attached table shows the married population aged 16 and over, resident in Great Britain, for the years 1981, 1986 and annually from 1991 to 2008. Estimates of the married population are not available for all years in the 1980s.
These figures are based on the mid-year population estimates and mid-2008 is the latest year for which data are available. They relate to Great Britain rather than the United Kingdom because population estimates by marital status are not available for Northern Ireland.
