Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Quentin Davies, dated 8 May 2001: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what the five year survival rates are for (a) lung, (b) bowel, (c) breast, (d) cervical, and (d) prostate cancer, and what the comparable figures are for (i) France, (ii) Germany, (iii) Sweden, and (iv) the USA. (160240) The latest available five-year survival rates for England are for cases diagnosed in the three year period 1992-94 and followed up to 31{st }December 1999. Data for eight common cancers including (a) lung, (b) colon, (c) female breast, (d) cervical, and (e) prostate cancer are available on the National Statistics website, www.statistics.co.uk, under "Health and Care". (Figures for (a) and (b) are presented for males and females separately). Survival from cancers of the colon and rectum, which together form the large bowel, are similar. Hence figures for colon alone are included in the presentation of survival in eight common cancers on the National Statistics website for patients diagnosed in 1992-94. Survival from cancer of the rectum for patients diagnosed in 1991-93 in England and Wales was published in the summer 2000 edition of Health Statistics Quarterly (number 6). Five-year survival data for the USA can also be found on the National Statistics website, at the address shown above, for patients diagnosed during 1986-90 and followed up to 31{st} December 1995 for equivalent sites. Comparable data for France, Germany and Sweden are published in Berrino F, Sant M, Verdecchia A, Capocaccia R (eds). Survival of cancer patients in Europe-the EUROCARE study II.

[157469] Mr. Hill: [holding answer 9 April 2001]: London Underground (LUL) have provided the following information relating to all accidents.

London Underground publish information on passenger and employee fatalities and passenger major injuries in their Annual Reports each year.
