Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many unborn children were (a) placed on the child protection register and (b) taken off the child protection register in the last five years for which figures are available; and if he will list the reasons given for (i) placing an unborn child on the child protection register and (ii) removing an unborn child from the child protection register. [19434] Jacqui Smith: The number of unborn children who were placed on, and removed from, child protection registers during the years ending 31 March 1997 to 2001 are given in the table. Registrations to and de-registrations from child protection registers, of unborn children, during the years ending 31 March 1997-01 and number of unborn children on the registers at 31 March each year England numbers of unborn children{ 1} _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Such a conference will have the same status, and should proceed in the same way, as other initial child protection conferences, including decisions about registration on the child protection register. The involvement of midwifery services is vital in such cases. An unborn child will be registered on the child protection register if a decision is taken at the initial child protection conference that the unborn child is at continuing risk of significant harm. The act of registration itself confers no protection on a child, and should always be accompanied by a child protection plan. An unborn child will be de-registered from the child protection register if the child dies or it is judged that the child is no longer at continuing risk of significant harm requiring safeguarding by means of a child protection plan. De-registration will also take place if the child's family have moved permanently to another local authority area. In this case, the receiving local authority should convene a child protection conference within 15 working days of being notified of the move, only after which event may de-registration take place in respect of the original local authority's child protection register.

Annabelle Ewing: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate, for the last 10 years for each nation of the UK, (a) inward and outward migration by (i) UK citizens and (ii) non-UK EU citizens, (b) the number and proportion of people moving (i) from and (ii) to (A) England, (B) Scotland, (C) Wales, (D) Northern Ireland, (E) Republic of Ireland, (F) the rest of the EU and (G) the rest of the world. [7001] Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply. Letter from Len Cook to Annabelle Ewing, dated 15 October 2001: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question on migration to and from the constituent countries of the UK. Tables 1&2 show inward and outward international migration by UK and non-UK EU citizens for the last 10 calendar years for which data are available. Citizenship data are not available for internal migrants, i.e. those moving within the constituent countries of the UK. Table 3 shows the number of total migrants moving from and to England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, rest of EU, and rest of the world. Data for the Irish Republic are not available separately and are included with the rest of the EU. Net migration for an individual country can be derived from the table by subtracting total outflow from a country, from total inflow, for example, the net figure for England for 1999 is 170.3 thousand i.e. the inflow (528.4 thousand) minus the outflow (358.1 thousand).

Mr. Wilkinson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on changes to the immigration rules to facilitate the entry into the UK of information technology and e-commerce specialists. [157695] Mrs. Roche: The Government have made a number of changes in the immigration system in order to facilitate the entry into the United Kingdom of highly skilled people. The results of a fundamental review of the work permit system, operated by the Department for Education and Employment, were announced in the 2000 Budget statement and a range of measures have been introduced to streamline the system over the last year. This has led to a number of changes facilitating the entry of information technology and e-commerce specialists. For example, the skills shortages list, which makes it easier to obtain a permit where no European Economic Area (EEA) resident is available to fill a post, has been updated to include more information technology and e-commerce jobs. Additionally, to ensure that the system responds quickly to shortages, a sector panel for the Information Technology Communications and Electronics industry has been established. Also, to be eligible for a work permit, two years' post-graduate work experience is no longer needed, thereby enabling non-EEA students with specialist skills to work immediately after graduation in the UK. Other changes include a pilot scheme, launched by the Home Office in September 2000, to attract more business innovators to the UK. It is aimed at those entrepreneurs looking to develop business ideas in the service and technology sectors, especially e-commerce, even if they do not have substantial amounts of their own money to invest. 38 applications have so far been approved. We are also developing a scheme designed to allow individuals of outstanding ability to come to the UK to seek work. This will help the UK in competing for highly skilled workers.

(150359) The Office of National Statistics produces quarterly estimates of migration using the movement of NHS doctor's between the former Family Health Service Authorities. They should not be regarded as an exact measure of migration particularly because there is variation in the delay between a person moving and registering with a new doctor. The attached table shows migration from metropolitan areas (including London) to shire county areas. Migration estimates are only available for the last ten years for these administrative areas.
