Mr. Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list for each of the past 20 years (a) the number of National Insurance numbers, (b) the number of National Insurance numbers created, (c) the number of National Insurance numbers cancelled and (d) the population aged 16 years or older. [151921] Mr. Rooker: [holding answer 5 March 2001]: The information for the past 12 years is in the tables. There is no confirmed information available for earlier years. There are currently 82 million NINOs in existence. This includes: approximately 13.5 million deceased records kept in case spouses make a claim on their partner's contribution. These cannot be used for fraud as they have a death date on them; approximately 12.5 million Child Reference Numbers for all children included on claims to Child Benefit. These become proper NINOs when the child reaches 16; of the remainder the vast majority are people who have moved abroad some of whom will return and need their NINO.

Notes: 1. Figures rounded to the nearest thousand. 2. The reason for the large increase in NINO creation for years 1990-93 is: During 1990-91 NINOs were created for all those customers in receipt of retirement pensions where the customer did not have a NINO. During 1992-93 Child Reference Numbers (CRN) for all children included on claims to Child Benefit were allocated. CRNs become NINOs when the child reaches age 16.

Mr. Pickthall: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what his estimate is of the net migration from urban and suburban to rural areas of England and Wales in the past 10 years. [150359] Mr. Andrew Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply. Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Colin Pickthall, dated 15 February 2001: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent question about estimates of net migration from urban and suburban to rural areas of England and Wales over the last ten years. (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.
