Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the level of violent crime in Northampton was in each
year since 1997. [186416]
Ms Blears: Northampton is a Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) area. Data at CDRP level has only been collected from
1999-2000 onwards. Violent crime comprises violence against the person, sexual offences and robbery. In 2003-04, at least
52 per cent. of all recorded violence against the person involved no injury. The available information are given in the
tables.

1 The date in this table takes account of the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in April 2002. These figures are
not directly comparable with those for earlier years.
The British Crime Survey (BCS) also provides data on the level of violent crime in England and Wales. However, due to the
variability of specific offence figures at police force area level, regional figures only are available. Data at regional level has
been published as a rate per 10,000 adults since the 2001-02 BCS and are presented for the relevant region in the following table.

Note: The apparent difference between rates in 2002-03 and in 2003-04 is not statistically significant Source: 2001-02, 2002-03,

Half of all violent incidents reported to the BCS during 2003-04 did not result in injury to the victim. However, this does not mean
that public concern about violent crime is unjustified or that the ordeal of victims is not traumatic, even if injury has not
occurred.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent assessment he has made of the
effects of the security barrier being built by the Government of Israel on Palestinian communities; what representations he has
received from non-governmental organisations on the effects of the wall on their work in the occupied territories; and what
representations he has made to Israel about minimising possible detrimental effects. [187070]
Mr. Rammell: We remain concerned about the negative impact of the barrier on communities near it. We note that the Israeli Supreme
Court has ordered changes to the route of the barrier because of similar concerns.
We receive regular representations on this subject from NGOs working in the Occupied Territories. In response, we encourage the
Israeli Government both to consider more seriously the humanitarian impact of its actions there, and to give NGOs clear guidelines
to help them maximise the effectiveness of their support for affected Palestinian communities.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people aged over 65 years have been in work in Northampton, South
in each year since 1997. [186463]
Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Tony Clarke, dated 8 September 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about employment. (186463)
The attached table gives the available estimates of the number of people aged 65 and over in employment in the Northampton South
Parliamentary Constituency for the twelve months ending February in 1997 and each year from 1999 to 2003. However, these estimates
are subject to a higher degree of sampling and rounding error than usual, and for this reason the table also includes estimates for
the East Midlands region.
Estimates are taken from the Office for National Statistics Labour Force Survey (LFS). As with any sample survey, estimates from the
LFS are subject to sampling variability.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage change there has been in the number of police
officers in Northampton in each year since 1997. [186417]
Ms Blears: Information on strength at Basic Command Unit (BCU) level is collected annually and reflects the position at the end of
March. Information on BCU strength is only available from 2002. BCU strength for 31 March 2004 will be published shortly.
The Northampton Area Basic Command Unit (BCU) includes Collingtree, Great Houghton, Hardingstone, Northampton and Wootton. Between
March 2002 and March 2003 police strength for the Northampton BCU decreased by 0.3 per cent. (from 346 to 345). The
deployment of officers to BCUs is a matter for the chief constable (Peter Maddison) and within the Northampton BCU deployment of
officers is a matter for the divisional commander.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much has been spent by Northampton borough council in each year since 1997 on
(a) refurbishment, (b) redecoration and (c) renewal of its directly-owned housing stock; and what the average
spending per property was each year, excluding the amount spent on central Government schemes, including the New Deal. [186516]
Keith Hill: Work carried out on council housing stock is generally categorised as Capital and Revenue. The work carried out under
the Capital heading includes installation, replacement or major repairs and could be categorised as refurbishment. Work under
Revenue would consist of minor and routine repairs, including redecoration. Figures for Capital and Revenue spend since 1997 are set
out in the following table:

Maria Eagle: The number of applications for Disability Living Allowance that were initially granted in the last year in the
Parliamentary Constituency of Northampton South is 4001 The number of refusals is not available, as these are held as a national
figure only.
Notes: 1. Figures less than 500 are subject to a high degree of sampling variation. 2. Figures taken from a 5 per cent.,
sample at 29 February 2004 3. Figures are rounded to the nearest hundred. 4. From November 2002, the methodology for
producing these figures was changed to allow statistics to be published much sooner. This has resulted in a small increase in the
reported caseload. This is because some cases which have actually terminated but have not yet been updated on the computer system
are now included.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many pensioners are (a) eligible for and
(b) claiming the pension credit in Northampton South. [186464]
Malcolm Wicks: Information on the number of people likely to be eligible for Pension Credit is not available at constituency level.
However, we estimate that approximately 250,000 households in the East Midlands region, corresponding to approximately 350,000
individuals (rounded to the nearest 50,000), are likely to be eligible for Pension Credit in 2004-05. At the end of July, 3,885
pensioner households in Northampton South, comprising 4,655 individuals (rounded to the nearest five), were in receipt of Pension
Credit. The corresponding figures for the East Midlands region at the same date were 185,305 households and 227,800 individuals in
receipt of Pension Credit.
