Mr. Battle: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1) how many people in (a) Leeds and (b) Leeds, West have found work through the New Deal for Disabled People in each year since its commencement; [204275] (2) which groups are contracted to provide the New Deal for disabled people in Leeds; what the performance of each in enabling people to find work since the start of the programme has been; what targets they have to meet; and if he will make a statement. [204278] Jane Kennedy: New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP) contractors are achieving considerable success in helping people on incapacity benefit into work and, collectively, they have helped 190 people into work in the Leeds Jobcentre Plus District since the national roll- out of the programme in July 2001. The NDDPJob Brokers operating in the Leeds Jobcentre Plus District are: Remploy; Shaw Trust; Action for Employment; Mencap Pathway; and Yes 2 Work. Although they have overall contract requirements that they are expected to meet, these are not broken down by District. As information is not available broken down by Leeds and Leeds West, information on people helped into work through the New Deal for Disabled People programme in the Jobcentre Plus Leeds District, including people helped through Jobcentre Plus, is in the table. New Deal for Disabled People in Leeds Jobcentre Plus District _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Notes: 1. Data is from July 2001 from national rollout of the programme. 2. All figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and total may not sum due to rounding. 3. Information in the table is for individuals helped into work. 4. Individual Job Broker performance figures are not published as these are commercial in confidence.

Mrs. Dean: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) what estimate she has made of the number of pensioners in Burton who are living in households suffering from fuel poverty; and how this number has changed since 1997; [205540] (2) what estimate she has made of the number of people claiming a disability benefit who are living in households suffering from fuel poverty in Burton; and how this number has changed since 1997. [205541] Mr. Mike O'Brien: We are unable to provide a breakdown of the number of households in fuel poverty by individual areas or towns. For the most recently available survey figures, I would refer the hon. Member to the response which I gave to the hon. Member for Gordon (Malcolm Bruce) on 30 November 2004, Official Report, column 78W. This sets out how the Fuel Poverty figures for England are produced, and gives figures for each Government Office Region. That data also shows that the number of fuel poor households in England which include someone aged 60 or over has more than halved from 2.2 million in 1996 to 1 million in 2001. In 2001, it can be estimated that the number of households containing either someone with a disability or long term illness was 0.8 million, the same as for 1996. Data for the number of those households in receipt of disability benefit is not readily available. Due to the fact that 2002 figures are based on a modelled estimate, 2001 is the latest year for which it is possible to give these breakdowns. Data for 2003 will be published in 2005 in the UK Fuel Poverty Strategy Third Annual Progress Report.

A claimant can receive more than one of these benefits. 2 DLA is payable to claimants of all ages, including children. 3 These benefits are payable to claimants aged 16 and over. 4 The overlap between IIDB and other benefits is negligible, and therefore the IIDB figure has been presented separately using the 100 per cent. data. 5 The "total" number excludes overlaps between benefits. Therefore the individual benefit totals do not sum to the overall "total". 6 Nil or negligible. Notes: 1. 5 per cent. figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.

Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will make a statement on the effect of the proposed Disability Discrimination Bill on political parties; and if he will place in the Library the assessment of the regulatory impact on political parties. [204758] Maria Eagle: Political parties are already covered by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 in their capacity as employers or providers of goods, facilities or services to the public or a section of the public. However, they are not currently covered in relation to the provision of goods, facilities or services to their members where members do not constitute the public or a section of the public (in other words, where membership is determined by a genuine process of selection on the basis of personal criteria). The Disability Discrimination Bill remedies this by extending coverage of the 1995 Act to associations of 25 or more members which apply such membership selection procedures. A copy of the Regulatory Impact Assessment which accompanies the Bill is available in the Library. On 16 December the Government published a consultation document, Cm 6042 "Disability Discrimination Bill Consultation on private clubs, premises, the definition of disability and the questions procedure", which among other matters seeks views on how, if at all, the duty to make reasonable adjustments should be modified in relation to political associations which may be covered by the provisions of the Bill. Views are sought by 18 March 2005. A copy of the consultation document is available in the Library.
