It is good to hear that the staff of this place do so much to help parliamentarians from other countries to learn from our centuries of experience. However, does the hon. Gentleman think that it would be wise if we established a dedicated unit within Parliament to provide such support and advice to other Parliaments in emerging democracies? Canada has had such a unit for decades; should we not examine the feasibility of setting one up ourselves?

It is entirely open to the hon. Gentleman to make such a proposal. He wears a variety of hats that would put him in a good position to do so. It is important to realise that what I described represents only part of what the UK is doing and that other schemes—of which he is well aware—funded by the Treasury and the Foreign Office support such work in many other ways. The House’s actions in that regard should not therefore be taken to represent the total of what the UK is doing.

There are many ways in which Members and their staff contribute to developing the capacity of Parliaments in emerging democracies, but they are not funded from within a single budget. For example, during 2006-07 the Overseas Office dealt with 95 visits from 66 countries and ran eight professional development programmes for parliamentary staff from 16 mostly Commonwealth countries. Three staff are engaged directly on this work, with a total identifiable cost of about £200,000, of which about one tenth was spent on visits to other countries.

Mr. Bayley: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many people there were (a) in employment and (b) self-employed in each
parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom at the latest date for which figures are available. [40237]
Mrs. Angela Knight: Information on total employment and the self-employed by local authority district at spring 1996 is available
from the labour force survey. Information on employees in employment by parliamentary constituency at September 1993 is available
from the census of employment. Both series can be accessed through the NOMIS database in the House of Commons Library.
