HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 cc230-3W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide a detailed breakdown for the years 1982–83 to 1990–91, by nature of item and functional area of charge, of the receipts to his programme, DOE—housing and DOE—other environmental services, classified as charges for the purposes of the public expenditure survey.

Mr. Ridley

[holding answer 7 July 1988]: The table gives figures consistent with those given in the answer the hon. Member received from the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 27 May at columns 375–76. The figures relate to income from charges in respect of programme expenditure and exclude capital receipts and receipts in respect of running cost expenditure.

Areas Act given by the Secretary of State in 1981 were largely based on the 1971 census. Information for all local authorities in England based on the 1981 census are contained in my Department's publication "Census Information Note 2: Urban Deprivation". This was put in the Library of the House on 15 February 1983. This provides information on nine indicators:

  1. (i) unemployed persons;
  2. (ii) overcrowded households;
  3. (iii) single-parent households;
  4. (iv) pensioners living alone;
  5. (v) households lacking exclusive use of basic amenities;
  6. (vi) population change (1971–81);
    7. 231
  7. (vii) standardised mortality rates;
  8. (viii) low-skilled economically active persons; and
  9. (ix) residents living in households where the head of household was born in the New Commonwealth or Pakistan.

More recent statistics are available only for:

3Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) are calculated as the number of actual deaths in each area in 1986 as a percentage of deaths which would have been expected if the local populations had experienced the sex and age specific mortality rates observed in England and Wales as a whole. Since 1983 SMRs do not include adjustment factors for institutional populations and deaths.
