Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated February 2010 :
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question on the proportion of women with children who worked fewer than 16 hours a week in each year since 1997. (317140)
The information requested is given in table 1 attached. The figures are from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) household datasets for the three months ending June for each year requested.
As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty as different samples give different results. Table 2 shows the percentage and confidence interval for the three months ending June 2009. This is to give an indication as to the accuracy of the most recent estimate, and how much it could vary if taken from a different sample. The estimate is such that there is 95 per cent certainty that from all samples possible it will lie within the lower and upper bounds.

Christopher Fraser: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the (a) age-standardised incidence rate for prostate cancer and (b) number of diagnoses of prostate cancer was in (i) each strategic health authority area, (ii) each primary care trust area and (iii) each constituency in each year since 1997. [317709]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the (a) age-standardised incidence rate for prostate cancer and (b) number of diagnoses of prostate cancer was in (i) each strategic health authority area, (ii) each primary care trust area and (iii) each constituency in each year since 1997. [317709]
The latest available figures for newly diagnosed cases of prostate 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.
Cancer incidence rates for strategic health authorities can only be calculated from 2002 onwards and for primary care organisations and parliamentary constituencies from 2001 onwards due to the availability of mid-year population estimates for those areas.
The number of cases in parliamentary constituencies has not been given for individual years in line with policy on protecting confidentiality within patients' data.
The tables attached provide the age-standardised incidence rate per 100,000 population, for prostate cancer, for (i) strategic health authorities in England, for the years 2002 to 2007 (Table 1), (ii) primary care organisations in England for the years 2001 to 2007 (Table 2), and (iii) parliamentary constituencies in England for the years 2001 to 2007 combined (Table 3), the number of diagnoses (incidence) for prostate cancer for (i) strategic health authorities in England and (ii) primary care organisations in England, for the years 1997-2007 (Tables 4 and 5), and (iii) parliamentary constituencies in England for the years 1997-02 and 2003-07 combined (Table 6).
A copy of Tables 2, 3, 5 and 6 has been placed in the House of Commons Library.
