Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money his Department has spent on chartering aircraft in each of the past five years. [213716] Fiona Mactaggart: Travel by Ministers makes clear that special flights may be authorised when a scheduled service is not available, or when it is essential to travel by air, but the requirements of official or parliamentary business or security considerations or urgency preclude the journey being made by a scheduled service. In respect of overseas travel by Ministers, since 1999 the Government have published an annual list of all visits overseas undertaken by Cabinet Ministers costing £500 or more during each financial year. The list published in 1999 covers the period 2 May 1997 to 31 March 1999. Where RAF/private charter aircraft are used this is shown in the list. The Government have also published on an annual basis the cost of all Ministers' visits overseas. Copies of the lists are available in the Library. Information for 2004-05 will be published in due course. For operational reasons the Home Office uses charter aircraft as a means of removing failed asylum seekers and other immigration offenders when there is no availability of seats on scheduled aircraft. They are also used for removals to destinations that carriers from the United Kingdom currently do not operate. Charter flights have been used to remove failed asylum seekers since March 2001. The cost of charters since 2002 are given in the table: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Expenditure £ million 2002-03 1,968,025 2003-04 1,226,972 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Figures for 2001-02 are not available as they were not separated from other public expense removal costs.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what percentage of the adult population was obese in each of the last five years for which figures are available; how many individuals that percentage represents in actual terms in each of those years; how many obese persons he estimates died in each of those years; and how many individual adults became obese in each of those years. [217667] Miss Melanie Johnson: Information is not available in exactly the form requested. The figures for the percentage of the adult population that was obese in the five years from 1999 to 2003, taken from the Health Survey for England, are shown in the table. The Health Survey for England provides estimates of the underlying population figures but, because of the small sample size any representation of the figures as a number of the total population should be treated with caution. Although Health Survey data for 2003 is weighted to provide a better match to the general population, un-weighted data for 2003 is shown here for consistency with previous years' data, which have not yet been weighted. Figures for the incidence of obesity are not available. Adults classed as obese (body mass index greater than 30): 1999-2003 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Obese as a proportion of 20.0 21.2 22.4 22.5 23.2 the total sample (percentage) Sample base1 (number) 6,903 6,963 13,681 6,478 13,056 Estimated number of obese 7.6 8.1 8.6 8.8 9.0 adults in the total population (million) _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Aged 16 and over with both valid height and weight measurements. Source: Health Survey for England. With regard to how many obese people died in each of those years, the fact that a person was obese is not routinely recorded at death certification. However, data on deaths where the underlying cause was certified as obesity or where this condition contributed to the death is collected. The following table shows the number of deaths in England and Wales where obesity was the underlying cause of death and where obesity contributed to the death, for the calendar years 1999 to 2003.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the level of deaths from deep vein thrombosis among NHS patients. [222205] Miss Melanie Johnson: Virtually all deaths from deep vein thrombosis occur as a result of a pulmonary embolism and most pulmonary embolisms arise from deep vein thrombosis in the leg. However, the precise description of this sequence of events leading to death, as provided on the death certificate, affects whether the death is coded as pulmonary embolism or thrombosis. Therefore, a figure combining the two causes is shown in the table. Number of deaths from pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis1, persons, England and Wales, 1998-2003 2 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Calendar year Number of deaths 1998 6,992 1999 6,877 2000 7,233 2001 7,207 2002 7,099 2003 7,361 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 The cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes 415.1, 451.1, 451.2, 451.9 and 453.9 for the years 1998 to 2000 and, for the years 2001 to 2003, the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes 126, 180.1, 180.2, 180.3, 180.9 and 182.9. 2 Figures are for deaths occurring in each calendar year. The Government have noted the recent report published by the Health Committee into the prevention of venous thromboembolism in hospitalised patients and will provide a full response in due course.

Chris Grayling: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which Ministers who have served in the current Government since 1997 have used aircraft in the Queen's Flight for visits which have been wholly or partially of a personal nature; on what dates such visits took place; and which Ministers have made payments to the taxpayer to cover the cost of that usage. [208261] Mr. Caplin: The Ministry of Defence is not routinely made aware whether ministerial usage of No.32 (The Royal) Squadron is wholly or partially of a personal nature. "Travel by Ministers" makes clear that special flights may be authorised when a scheduled service is not available, or when it is essential to travel by air, but the requirements of official or parliamentary business or security considerations or urgency preclude the journey being made by a scheduled service.

The list published in 1999 covers the period 2 May 1997 to 31 March 1999. Where RAF/ Private Charter aircraft are used this is shown in the list. Where there is an element of personal business, this is also shown. The Government have also published on an annual basis the cost of all Ministers' visits overseas.
