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 question asking how many people resident in (a) Chorley constituency and (b) Lancashire county authority area have been diagnosed with breast cancer in each year since 1997. [314226]
The latest available figures for newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer (incidence) are for the year 2007. Please note that these numbers may not be the same as the number of people diagnosed with cancer, because one person may be diagnosed with more than one cancer.
The table attached provides the numbers of newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer for (a) Chorley parliamentary constituency and (b) Lancashire county, for each year from 1997 to 2007.

Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated 27 January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning how many construction firm start ups there have been in each of the last 10 years, broken down by local authority area or the lowest geographical area for which data are available. [313979].
Annual statistics on business births, deaths and survival are available for 2002 onwards from the ONS release on Business Demography at:
The attached table contains the latest statistics available on business births for the construction industry by district, counties and unitary authorities within region and country. A copy has been placed in the Library of the House.
Julia Goldsworthy: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what estimate her Department has made of the number of people seeking jobs in the construction industry. [313980]
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 27 January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking what estimate has been made of the number of people seeking jobs in the construction industry. (313980).
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles statistics on the number of people seeking jobs based on claims for Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). The JSA system collects information on the occupation sought by claimants, rather than the industry that they are seeking a job in.
For this question we have defined occupations in the construction industry using the Standard Occupational Classification 2000 as: skilled construction and building trades; construction plant operatives; and elementary construction occupations. Other occupations that may have some association with the construction industry have not been included. Individuals who are not claiming JSA but are seeking jobs in the construction industry are also not included.
In December 2009 the number of JSA claimants who were seeking jobs in the occupations listed above was 210,260.
National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at:
Death: Birmingham
Mr. Godsiff: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the 10 most frequently recorded causes of death for (a) men, (b) women, (c) boys under the age of 18 years and (d) girls under the age of 18 years were in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency in each of the last five years. [312783]
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 27 January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the 10 most frequently recorded causes of death for (a) men, (b) women, (c) boys under the age of 18 years and (d) girls under the age of 18 years were in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency in each of the last five years. (312783)
The tables attached present the ten most frequently recorded causes of death(1), for (a) males aged 18 years and over (Table 1) and (b) females aged 18 years and over (Table 2), in Birmingham, Sparkbrook and Small Heath parliamentary constituency, for the years 2004 to 2008 (the latest year available).
Due to the small numbers of deaths of (c) boys under the age of 18 years and (d) girls under the age of 18 years, equivalent information for frequently recorded causes of death could not be produced.
Individual causes of death are coded by ONS using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). The causes of death shown in the tables are groups of codes designed for the tabulation of deaths according to 'main' causes.(2)
(1) In some years, more than ten causes of death are presented where the numbers of deaths were the same as those for the tenth most frequent cause.
