The latest year for which data are available is 2005. The table below shows, for 2003-2005, the number of newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer receiving chemotherapy treatment. The national cancer registration system has chemotherapy treatment recorded for 4.3 per cent of prostate patients in Lancashire county compared to 2.9 per cent in England for the period 2003-05. In 45 per cent of prostate cancer cases in the national cancer registry database for 2003-05, either no treatment information was recorded or patients were recorded as having had no treatment.

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in (a) Tamworth and (b) the West Midlands in each of the last five years. [215770]
Mr. Watson: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2008:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many men have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in (a) Tamworth and (b) the West Midlands in each of the last five years. [215770]
The most recent available figures for newly diagnosed cases of cancer registered in England are for the year 2005. Figures for male patients diagnosed with prostate cancer for the years 2001 to 2005 for a) Tamworth local authority and b) West Midlands government office region are given in the table below.

Mr. Hepburn: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many people were employed in the shipbuilding industry in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) England in each year since 1997; and how many people aged (i) 25 years and under and (ii) 26 years and over there were in each category. [215721]
Mr. Watson: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 7 July 2008:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your parliamentary question asking how many people were employed in the shipbuilding industry in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) England in each year since 1997; and how many people aged (i) 25 years or under and (ii) 26 years or over there were in each category. [215721].
The definitive source for the number of people employed is normally the Labour Force Survey (LFS). However, because of the interest in the shipbuilding industry, estimates of the number of jobs have been compiled from the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI/1). Because the ABI/1 cannot provide a breakdown by age, figures for the proportion of total employees aged 25 years or under have been estimated using the Annual Population Survey (APS).
The attached table provides an estimate of jobs in the building and repairing of ships industry (Standard Industrial Classification (1992/2003) 3155) for England and the North East for each year from 1997 to 2006, the most recent available. Estimates for South Tyneside and Jarrow are not available.
Figures from the ABI/1 do not include self-employed jobs and therefore these estimates will understate the actual total number of jobs.
As with any survey, results from the ABI/1 and APS are subject to a margin of uncertainty.

(1) Standard Industrial Classification (1992/2003) 3511. (2) The Annual Business Inquiry does not include estimates of self-employment jobs. Therefore the estimates provided will be lower than the actual total. (3) Derived from the total employees aged 16 and over (Annual Population). (4) Counts for 1997 are based on estimates from the rescaled Annual Employment Survey and therefore there is a discontinuity between 1997 and 1998. (5) Sample size too small to provide an estimate. Notes: 1. Annual Business Inquiry figures are a measure of jobs rather than people. For Estimates for the United Kingdom using the Annual Business Inquiry are not available. 2. There are significant discontinuities which affect comparisons of the 2006 ABI/1 estimates with earlier years and additionally with respect to changes to Standard Industrial Classifications and Geographies in 2003.

Available figures are estimates of the number of conceptions that resulted in a live birth, stillbirth or legal termination.
The number and rate of conceptions to girls aged (a) under 14, (b) 14 to 16 and (c) 17 to 18 years for England and Wales, 1997 to 2006 (the most recent year for which figures are available), are shown in the attached table. Figures for 2006 are provisional.

Tim Loughton: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what the rate of infant mortality was of children born to teenage mothers in (a) the five most deprived areas in England and (b) England in each year since 1997. [216668]
Mr. Watson: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2008:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question asking what the rate of infant mortality was of children born to teenage mothers in (a) the five most deprived areas in England and (b) England in each year since 1997. (216668)
The 5 most deprived areas in England were identified as the local authority districts with highest deprivation according to the English Indices of Deprivation 2004. Hackney had the highest level of deprivation, Tower Hamlets was ranked second, Manchester third, Islington fourth and Liverpool fifth.
The attached table shows infant mortality numbers and rates for mothers aged under 20 in these areas and England from 1997 to 2006 (the latest year available). Figures for 2006 are provisional.
