None. As my right honourable friend the Secretary of State informed the House of Commons on Monday 12 November (Official Report, col. 7-9) we are opposed to any imposition on local authorities of costly reorganisations. Nor are we in the business of imposing boundary changes, whoever might be seeking them, on the councils concerned.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what recent steps his Department has taken to reduce the number of young people not in employment, education or training in (a) Woking constituency and (b) Surrey.
[122007]
“Building Engagement, Building Futures” set out the Government's strategy to increase the proportion of young people continuing in education or training and address the longstanding challenge of young people who are NEET. This includes raising the age of compulsory participation in education or training to 18 by 2015, transforming the quality of vocational education through our new 16 to 19 study programmes and providing targeted financial support for those young people who need it most. The Department is spending a record £7.5 billion in 2012-13 on education and training so that there are sufficient opportunities for all 16 to 19-year-olds.
The Government has recently put in place a new programme to support 16 to 17-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training and have low or no qualifications, as part of the Youth Contract. Skills Training UK has been appointed to deliver this provision across Kent, Surrey and Sussex, working closely with
the relevant local authorities to identify young people who would benefit from support. Based upon currently planned performance levels, it is anticipated that the contract for the south east will be worth up to £9.2 million before the end of the contract period—31 March 2016.
Local authorities, such as Surrey county council, have a statutory duty to support all young people to participate in education or training. They are best placed to understand and address the needs of young people who are not in education, employment or training and provide the targeted support that they need. This work can be funded from within the non-ringfenced Early Intervention Grant, and £33.5 million was allocated to Surrey in 2012-13.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated September 2012:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question concerning how many people were employed by small and medium-sized businesses in (a) Woking constituency and (b) Surrey in the latest period for which figures are available. [122009]
Annual statistics on the number of employees are available from the ONS release Business Register Employment Survey (BRES) at:
www.statistics.gov.uk
However, it is not possible to derive a breakdown by employment size band from BRES. The table contains the latest statistics available, which show the number of employees in Woking and Surrey for 2010.
| Area | Number
of
employees |
| Surrey | 509,000 |
| Woking | 45,000 |

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change if he will estimate the average costs for domestic electricity customers living in (a) Merseyside, (b) Oxfordshire, (c) Cambridgeshire and (d) Surrey who consumed the standard consumption of 3,300 kWh per annum in each of the last three years.

The UK electricity market is divided into regions based on Public Electricity Supply (PES) areas. Electricity suppliers vary prices between these regions but not within them, with the same tariffs available to all customers within the area.
Counties can fall in multiple electricity supply regions, and so customers in any one county may be subject to different prices depending on their PES area. Following is a list of the requested counties and the electricity supply regions in which they fall.
(a) Merseyside—Merseyside and North Wales electricity board (MANWEB)
(b) Oxfordshire—Southern, West Midlands, East Midlands
(c) Cambridgeshire—Eastern
(d) Surrey—South Eastern Electricity Board (Seeboard), Southern
DECC publishes in Quarterly Energy Prices average annual domestic standard electricity bills based on standard consumption of 3,3O0kWh per annum for the above electricity supply regions on average, and broken down by payment type. The table below shows the overall average bills by PES area.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what recent assessment he has made of the availability of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence-approved treatments for (a) lung, (b) bowel and (c) breast cancer in Surrey Primary Care Trust;
[118373]
We have made no assessment of the availability of National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) approved treatments for lung, bowel and breast cancer at a national or at primary care trust (PCT) level.
PCTs are legally obliged to fund drugs and treatments recommended in NICE technology appraisal guidance, within three months of guidance being published; unless the requirement is waived in a specific case.

Is it not the case that Surrey taxpayers pay some of the highest taxes into our national Exchequer, yet we also end up paying some of the highest precepts? It is not because Surrey police are not efficient; they are. Surely that cannot be fair.

I thank my hon. Friend. He is absolutely right. As someone who worked in local government before becoming an MP, he knows the details far better than me. That basic logic and flow cannot be right. It cannot be right that we keep paying more and more and get less...

Does my hon. Friend agree that no account is taken of traffic through the county? That is a crucial point. As I understand it, data are available to show that through traffic relates to crime.

Does my hon. Friend acknowledge that we should recognise the achievements of Surrey police in maintaining the same level of service to the public in Surrey, despite reductions of about £7 million in their budget so far, and that further cuts could risk public safety?

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The key issue is sustainability. It cannot be right that those who perform best in terms of delivering cost efficiencies while adding further front-line officers should be penalised and find themselves victims of their own success.
Surrey has achieved those net satisfaction ratings despite having...

My wonderful ward of Maybury and Sheerwater is deprived by national standards and has a diverse ethnic mix. Does my hon. Friend agree that we can ill afford to lose 80-odd police constables in Surrey?

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention and I agree with him. One of the problems with the myth about Surrey—it is as true of his constituency as it is of mine—is that average levels of affluence hide pockets of deprivation and real social challenges, which play out in...

The Minister will be aware that after Labour entered government in 1997, the tendency to shift money away from the south and south-east was to such a degree that even the Audit Commission commented on it. That included local government, schools, the national health service and the police. His argument...

If the current funding formula truly reflects need, why do Surrey taxpayers, in addition to all the taxes that they pay nationally, have to pay the highest precept in the country? The Minister has already accepted that we have an excellent and efficient force.
