To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 31 March 2014, Official Report, column 491W, on medical treatments, what technology appraisals were conducted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the last five years; what the most plausible cost per quality adjusted life-year for each such appraisal was; what the estimated eligible patient population was for each appraised indication; on which appraisals end-of-life criteria were applied in each final appraisal determination; and on which date each such appraisal was (a) initiated and (b) concluded.
Norman Lamb
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) technology appraisal decisions published between 2000 to end of February 2014 have already been placed in the Library.
NICE has advised that it does hold the most plausible cost per quality adjusted life-year for each technology appraisal, the estimated patient population for each appraised indication, details of appraisals where the end-of-life criteria were applied in each final appraisal determination and the dates each appraisal was initiated and concluded. However, this information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Pamela Nash on 2014-06-18.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, with reference to the Answer of 14 May 2014, Official Report, column 678W, on money lenders, how many actionable reports led to a conviction in each of the last four years.
Jenny Willott
Final Approved answer to 13371
The Illegal Money Lending Teams conduct complex and sensitive investigations. The length of each investigation will be influenced by the circumstances of the specific case. In some instances convictions can only be delivered through months of proactive intelligence gathering and community engagement. Because of this, some cases span across multiple years and so there is not necessarily a direct link between the numbers of actionable reports and the numbers of convictions in any one year.
Below is a breakdown of the number of operations, arrests and prosecutions completed by the Illegal Money Lending Teams in England, Scotland and Wales in each of the last four years and the number of custodial sentences handed down by the courts.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Rosindell on 2014-04-10.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of violent crimes were committed by non-British nationals in 2013.
Norman Baker
The Home Office does not hold data on the nationality of offenders, and so
cannot provide data on the number of crimes committed by non-British nationals
that were recorded by police.
The Ministry of Justice collects details on the number of offenders and
offender characteristics, but does not collect information on the number of offences
that these offenders commit.
