(2) how many private sector jobs were created in Wrexham constituency in each of the last five years.
[124514]
Ian Lucas:
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Glen Watson, dated October 2012:
As Director General, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Questions asking how many people aged (a) 25 years and over and (b) 16-24 years had been unemployed for more than a year in May (i) 2010, (ii) 2011 and (iii) 2012 in (A) Wrexham constituency, (B) each constituency in Wales and (C) the UK; and how many private sector jobs were created in Wrexham constituency in each of the last five years. (124512 & 124514)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles unemployment statistics for local areas from the Annual Population Survey following International Labour Organisation (ILO) definitions. However, estimates of unemployment for the requested age bands, durations and geographies are not available due to small sample sizes.
As an alternative, in Table 1 we have provided the number of persons, aged 16 to 24, and 25 years and over claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), in the requested geographies, for over 12 months in (a) May 2010, (b) May 2011 and (c) May 2012. The counts of people claiming JSA are those who are claiming benefits for unemployment related purposes. At a UK level the total number of JSA claimants is around two thirds of the total unemployment level.
Estimates of new jobs created are not available. Whilst information is available for net changes in level, this does not give an estimate of new jobs created. Net changes in level partially reflects jobs lost, partially reflects people who have been recruited into existing jobs that were vacant and consequently does not give any useful information regarding the actual level of new job creation.
National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the number of families in Wrexham constituency who will cease to receive working tax credit following changes made in the 2012 Budget.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the number of families in Wrexham constituency who will cease to receive working tax credit following changes made in the 2012 Budget.
[124513]
The only change to tax credits made in Budget 2012 was to lower the working hours requirement for working tax credit, including the child care element, for couples with children where at least one partner is entitled to carer's allowance. This is likely to slightly increase the number of families that will be eligible for working tax credit. Constituency level breakdowns are not available.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate
and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have
been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the
courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to
ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are
taken into account when those data are
used. 2The cautions statistics relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When an offender has been cautioned for two or more offences at the same time the principal offence is the more serious offence. From 1 June 2000 the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 came into force nationally and removed the use of cautions for persons under 18 and replaced them with reprimands and warnings. These figures have been included in the totals. 3 Data have been revised post publication. Source: Justice Statistics Analytical Services—Ministry of Justice. |

The figures given in the table on court proceedings relate to persons
for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were
dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more
offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed.
Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the
offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty
is the most
severe. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces.

The Remploy People Help and Support Package (PHSP) is the Government's key process for delivering tailored support to those disabled people becoming redundant as a result of the announcement on the future of Remploy. £8 million has been made available to fund the delivery of PHSP across the UK.
We have allocated £4 million of this fund for personal budgets, which will make funding available for each disabled person affected by redundancy, to provide additional support where other sources of funding are unavailable. The personal budget is an element of the support package, and will be accessed via the personal case worker.
Also £1.5 million from this fund is allocated to the Community Support Fund (CSF) for funding local disabled people's organisations in delivering support to affected Remploy workers.
More on CSF and how to apply for it can be found at
