Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many young adult offenders aged 18 to 20 years old from (a) the Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea and (b) Westminster city council have been held in (i) young offender institutions, (ii) local prisons, (iii) women’s prisons and (iv) other parts of the secure estate, in each month since May 2009. [102912]

Mr Blunt: All young offenders sentenced to detention in a young offender institution (DYOI), which is the most common custodial sentence for this age group, are held in appropriately designated YOI accommodation within the prison estate. The majority of this accommodation is in dedicated YOIs, although some establishments in the estate have a dual designation (designated both as a prison and a YOI) and hold both adult prisoners and young offenders.

The following tables show the number of offenders aged 18-20 years with a recorded residential address or proxy in (a) the Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea and (b) Westminster city council who were held in predominant function male young offender institutions, predominant function male local prisons, all female prisons and the rest of the male estate on a set day in each month where data are available since May 2009.

These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.

Information on offenders’ residences is provided by offenders on reception into prison and recorded on a central IT system. Addresses can include a home address, an address to which offenders intend to return on discharge or next of kin address and these figures are provided in the table above.

If no address is given, an offender’s committal court address is used as a proxy for the area in which they are resident. These figures are also included in the table above. No address has been recorded and no court information is available for around 3% of all offenders; these figures are excluded from the table above.

Young Offenders: Lancashire

Paul Maynard: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many young adult offenders aged 18 to 20 years in each local authority area in Lancashire have been held in (a) young offender institutions, (b) local prisons, (c) women's prisons and (d) other parts of the secure estate in each month since May 2009. [102644]

The majority of this accommodation is in dedicated YOIs, although some establishments in the estate have a dual designation (designated both as a prison and a YOI) and hold both adult prisoners and young offenders.

Paul Maynard: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many juvenile offenders in each local authority area in Lancashire have been held in (a) a secure children's home, (b) a secure training centre and (c) a young offender institution in each month since May 2005. [102645]

Mr Blunt: The following table shows the number of juvenile offenders (aged 10 to 17) either sentenced or remanded in custody attached to (i) Blackburn with Darwen Youth Offending Team (YOT) (ii) Blackpool YOT and (iii) Lancashire YOT who have been held in a (a) secure children's home, (b) secure training centre and (c) young offender institution in each month since May 2005 to January 2012.

These data have been provided by the Youth Justice Board (YJB). The YJB holds data at the YOT area level, not at the local authority level. YOT area data may cover more than one local authority area.

This is based upon monthly snapshot data. Therefore one young person who is serving more than one month in custody may be shown in more than one month in the table.

The data from April 2011 onwards are provisional and will be finalised when the 2011-12 Youth Justice Statistics are published in 2013.

These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and can be subject to change over time.

Notes: 1. YJB data referring to secure training centres (STCs), secure children’s homes (SCHs), and under 18 young offender institutions (YOIs). This does not include 18 to 21 year olds held in YOI separate units for which the YJB do not hold data. This is based upon monthly snapshot data therefore one young person who is serving more than one month in custody, may be shown in more than one month in the table. The figures from April 2011 onwards are provisional. 2. Young people are defined as those aged 10 to 17 years of age, however some 18-year-olds remain in the secure estate for children and young people if they only have a short period of their sentence left to serve, to avoid disrupting their regimes (and are included in these figures). 3. The data come from the Youth Justice Board's Secure Accommodation Clearing House System (SACHS). These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing and may be subject to change over time.

International Development

Afghanistan

Mr Ivan Lewis: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent assessment he has made of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. [103030]

Mr Andrew Mitchell: Afghanistan faces considerable humanitarian challenges, arising from factors including conflict and insecurity, food insecurity, and lack of access to safe water. The UN estimates that there are almost 430,000 people internally displaced as a result of conflict and insecurity. Lack of rain and snow in early 2011 led to last year's drought affecting 14 provinces, while the worst winter in 20 years earlier this year led to a number of deaths in refugee camps and isolated, remote areas. Preliminary assessments for 2012 suggest that snow and rainfall have been above average. As a result the international community, including the UK, is now monitoring the possibility of flooding and stands ready to respond. However, the extra rain has the potential to create more favourable conditions for this year's harvest.

UK aid is supporting emergency food aid for 161,000 pregnant and breast-feeding women and 14,000 severely malnourished children under five, and cash transfers for more than 9,000 households in drought-affected areas. We are also working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide support for families affected by conflict. Last year, UK aid helped to provide more than 3,800 artificial limbs and 10,000 crutches to the ICRC's Orthopaedic Centre. This year, our support to the ICRC will also help to provide food aid to around 27,000 families affected by conflict or natural disasters.

Argentina

Derek Twigg: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what his policy is on votes at the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank on loans to Argentina. [98812]

Mr Andrew Mitchell: Britain will look at each individual project at the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank with care assessing each project on its own merits and the context of each individual loan.

I remind the hon. Member that the Department for International Development does not maintain an aid programme to Argentina and no UK aid is spent providing loans to Argentina at the World Bank or the Inter-American Development Bank.
