The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many businesses there were in City of York local authority area in each year since 2001.
Mr Nick Hurd
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much has been spent on (a) civil and (b) criminal legal aid in (i) cash and (ii) real terms in (A) England and (B) York in each year since 1995.
Mr Shailesh Vara
The amount spent on (a) civil and (b) criminal legal aid in (i) cash (i.e. net of operating receipts) and (ii) real terms in each of the last 20 years was provided by way of a written response on 18 June 2013 to the hon. Member for York Central’s Parliamentary Question 160682.
The Legal Aid Agency does not record the number of people who receive legal aid. Instead it records the number of ‘acts of assistance’. One individual may receive a number of separate acts of assistance, and one act of assistance can help more than one person. As the categorisation of legal aid has changed over the last 20 years, acts of assistance relating to representation in court cannot be accurately compared over time. The total acts of assistance relating to civil and criminal cases from 1995 onwards were provided by way of a written response on 18 June 2013 to the hon. Member for York Central’s Parliamentary Question 160683.
With regard to the breakdowns requested for England and York, to extract the information requested from the Legal Aid Agency’s IT Systems would incur disproportionate cost.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of people with cases before (a) civil and (b) criminal courts received legal aid in (i) England and (ii) York in each year since 1995.
Mr Shailesh Vara
The amount spent on (a) civil and (b) criminal legal aid in (i) cash (i.e. net of operating receipts) and (ii) real terms in each of the last 20 years was provided by way of a written response on 18 June 2013 to the hon. Member for York Central’s Parliamentary Question 160682.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what estimate the UK Statistics Authority has made of the number and proportion of young people aged 16 to 24 in York in (a) training, (b) employment and (c) education in each year since 1995-96.
Matthew Hancock
Data are not available prior to 2000. Estimates for the proportion of young people in training, employment and education separately are not available.
Information on the number of Apprenticeship starts and achievements by geography and age is published in supplementary tables to a Statistical First Release:

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many victims of crime and witnesses were supported by the Witness Service at (a) York Crown Court and (b) York Magistrages’ Court in each year since 2004-05.
Damian Green
The Ministry of Justice does not routinely collect this data. Victim Support has provided the data based on available information.
As part of its Grant in Aid to Victim Support, the Ministry of Justice requires the provision of a court based witness service.
Victim Support has provided the following figures for 2009/10-2013/14 showing the number of people supported:
|
Year |
York Crown Court |
York Magistrates’ Court |

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much capital funding the Government allocated to (a) York College, (b) Askham Bryan College, (c) the University of York and (d) York St John University in each year since 1995-96.
Mr David Willetts
The capital funding allocated by this Department and its predecessor departments to York College, the University of York and the University of York St John in each year between 1992 and 2000 is not readily available. However, the capital allocations for each of the institutions named since 2000/01 is in the attached table.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much revenue funding her Department has allocated to the North Yorkshire Police Authority in (a) cash and (b) real terms in each year since 1995-96.
Damian Green
Table 1 shows the amount of core Government revenue funding
provided by the Home Office to the North Yorkshire Police Authority (from
November 2012 the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire) since
1995-96.
The figures in the table represent the amount of revenue funding provided by
the Home Office to North Yorkshire. However, due to changes in police revenue
funding over this time period (which include a move away from Regional Crime
Squads and a change in the way pensions are funded), it is difficult to
compare spending power between years.
From 2014/15, the Home Office is also paying out Council Tax Freeze Grant
funding relating to the 2011/12 and 2013/14 schemes and Local Council Tax
Support funding to Police and Crime Commissioners in England. This amount was
previously paid by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
This will total £7.9 million for North Yorkshire in 2014/15 and is excluded
from the table to assist comparison with previous years.
In addition, the police in England also receive central government grant from
other sources including the DCLG. They also receive funding from the police
precept component of council tax and a small amount of income from charging for
additional services.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much funding for each (a) undergraduate and (b) postgraduate student the Higher Education Funding Council for England allocated to (i) the University of York and (ii) York St John University in (A) cash and (B) at current prices in each year since 1997-98.
Mr David Willetts
The attached tables show the amount of grant distributed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for teaching and research per full-time equivalent student for each of the years requested. There have been changes in HEFCE’s funding methodology over this period, so these tables do not provide like for like yearly comparisons. In particular, the data prior to 1998-99 are not available in a similar format to that for later years.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many full-time equivalent police officers of each rank and grade were employed by North Yorkshire police on (a) 31 March and (b) 30 September in each year since 2004.
Damian Green
The following table contains the requested data and covers the period up until
30 September 2013. Figures as at 31 March 2014 are due to be published 17 July
2014.
