Electoral Registration
Chris Ruane: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the electoral registration rates were in the period (a) before and (b) after 13 March 2006 in each ward in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, grouped according to constituency and region and listed in descending order. [60916]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 23 March 2006:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the electoral registration rates were in the period (a) before and (b) after 13th March in each ward in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, grouped according to constituency and region and listed in descending order. (60916)
Ward level population estimates are needed to compare the number of registered electors and the estimated population in each ward. The latest available population estimates at ward level for England and Wales are for 30 June 2002 and for Northern Ireland the latest available ward level population data are from the 2001 Census (29 April 2001).
A comparison, using these data, has been provided previously. I refer you to the answer given by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in the Official Report dated 20th December 2005, Column 2809W (Wales) and in the Official Report dated 19th January 2006, Column 1490 (England and Northern Ireland).
No information is available for either electorate counts or ward level population estimates for any date following 13 March 2006.
Energy Efficiency
Mrs. Dorries: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is taking to increase energy efficiency within his Department; and if he will make a statement. [60343]
John Healey: I refer to my answer to the hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable) on 31 October 2005, Official Report, column 733W. Additional measures taken since then include the upgrading and installation of improved controls of the air handling units in the building, and a planned change from night to daytime cleaning, which will further reduce lighting usage.
Mobile Phones
Lynne Featherstone: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the number of people in London who had a mobile phone in each year since 2004–05; and if he will make a statement. [60564]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 23 March 2006:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning the number of people in London who had a mobile phone in each year since 2004–05. (60564)
This data is not available. Up to and including 2005 we asked whether mobile phones were used by anyone in the household. So, if like most households, several people have mobiles, we'd only count it as one household with a mobile phone(s). Information
- relating to the use of Information and Communication Technologies by households and individuals are collected through the ICT access module of the ONS' Omnibus survey. The module is run three times within the first quarter of each year.
From January we have reworded the question to target individuals, but the results are not yet available.
Mortality Rates (Carlisle)
Mr. Martlew: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the mortality rate was for (a) chronic lung disease, (b) all forms of cancer and (c) coronary heart disease in Carlisle in (i) 1997 and (ii) 2004; and what the (A) neo-natal and (B) perinatal mortality rate was in Carlisle in these years. [60327]
John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 23 March 2006:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent question concerning what the (a) mortality rate for (i) chronic lung disease, (ii) coronary heart disease and (iii) all forms of cancer, (b) neonatal mortality rate and (c) perinatal mortality rate was in Carlisle in (A) 1997 and (B) the last year for which figures are available.
The latest year for which figures are available is 2004. These are provided in the table. The table also shows figures for 1997, adjusted to take account of revisions to the International Classification of Diseases, where appropriate.
(22) Rates per 100,000 population standardised to the European Standard Population.
(23) The causes of death for 2004 were defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10):
Chronic lung disease (Chronic lower respiratory disease)—ICD-10 J40-J47.
Cancer (malignant neoplasms)—/CD-70 COO-C97.
Coronary heart disease—ICD-10120–125.
Deaths were selected using the original underlying cause.
The causes of death for 1997 were defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9). The codes used are listed:
Chronic lung disease (Chronic lower respiratory disease)—ICD-9 490–494, 496.
Cancer (malignant neoplasms)—ICD-9 140–208.
Coronary heart disease-ICD-9 410–414.
The introduction of ICD-10 for coding cause of death in England and Wales in 2001 means that data for chronic lung disease and cancer are not completely comparable with data for years before this date. The effect of the change in classification in 2001 on deaths from these causes is described in a report published in May 2002:
Office for National Statistics. Results of the ICD-10 bridge coding study, England and Wales, 1999. Health Statistics Quarterly 14 (2002), 75–83.
For chronic lung disease (chronic lower respiratory disease) and cancer (malignant neoplasms) the introduction of ICD-10 caused an increase of 3.2 per cent. and 2.3per cent. respectively in the number of deaths coded to these conditions in England and Wales. Deaths in 1997 from these causes have been adjusted to provide rates which are comparable with those for 2004.
(24) Deaths under four weeks per 1,000 live births.
(25) Deaths under one week plus stillbirths per 1,000 total live and stillbirths.
(26) Usual residents of Hyndburn local authority. Deaths were assigned to this area using the November 2005 All Fields Postcode Directory.
(27) Deaths registered in each calendar year.
