As set out in answer HL9271, the UK Government condemns all violence against civilians in Nigeria. We continue to encourage the Nigerian Government to take urgent action to protect those at risk of violence, to bring perpetrators to justice, and to implement long-term solutions that address the root causes of violence and meet the needs of all communities. The Minister for Africa has discussed the impact of violence in Nigeria with President Buhari's Chief of Staff. Our High Commissioner visited Kaduna State in December 2020 and met a range of interlocutors, including Christian and Muslim leaders, who recognised the causes of the intercommunal violence are complex and relate frequently to criminality, competition for resources and failures of governance. We will continue to engage with the federal and state authorities to stress the importance of transparent investigations when attacks occur that respect human rights and the rule of law.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-01-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-01-20T16:01:24.723Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-01-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Nigeria: Genocide"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Nigeria about reported killings of Christians in that country; and when any such representations were last made.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL11717"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1273625", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1273625/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority. I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.<\/p>

Dear Lord Balfe,<\/p>
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking what is the average age of people who have had COVID-19 cited as a contributory cause of death in the last four weeks; how many such people were (1) 0-18, (2) 19-30, (3) 31-40, (4) 41-50, (5) 51-60, (6) 61-70, (7) 71-80, (8) 81-90, and (9) over 90, years old at the time of death; and in each cohort how many such deaths occurred in people with underlying health conditions (HL11720)<\/strong>.<\/p> The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for publishing numbers of deaths registered in England and Wales. Information on deaths involving COVID-19 and pre-existing health conditions was published in July[1]. As part of deaths registered weekly in England and Wales[2], the ONS produces the number of deaths involving COVID-19 by age group. Table 1 provides the number of deaths involving COVID-19 by age group in the last four weeks.<\/p> Table 2 is the mean and median age at death of those whose death involves COVID-19 and for all deaths in the last 4 weeks.<\/p> Table 3 shows deaths involving COVID-19 where there is no pre-existing condition against total COVID-19 deaths for that age cohort. Data is available from March 2020 to June 2020, however we will be resuming publication of this data within the next 6 weeks.<\/p> <\/p> Yours sincerely,<\/p> Professor Sir Ian Diamond<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Table 1: Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales involving COVID-19 by age group, Week ending 4 December to Week ending 25 December 2020[3]<\/strong>,[4]<\/strong>,[5]<\/strong>,[6]<\/strong>,[7]<\/strong><\/sup><\/strong><\/p> Week number<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 49<\/p><\/td> 50<\/p><\/td> 51<\/p><\/td> 52<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Week ended<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 04-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 11-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 18-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 25-Dec-20<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Deaths by age group<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> <\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 1-4<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 5-9<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 10-14<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 15-19<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 20-24<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 25-29<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 30-34<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 35-39<\/p><\/td> 9<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 40-44<\/p><\/td> 12<\/p><\/td> 11<\/p><\/td> 10<\/p><\/td> 12<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 45-49<\/p><\/td> 21<\/p><\/td> 19<\/p><\/td> 25<\/p><\/td> 21<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 50-54<\/p><\/td> 41<\/p><\/td> 37<\/p><\/td> 43<\/p><\/td> 41<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 55-59<\/p><\/td> 62<\/p><\/td> 65<\/p><\/td> 75<\/p><\/td> 63<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 60-64<\/p><\/td> 105<\/p><\/td> 126<\/p><\/td> 119<\/p><\/td> 107<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 65-69<\/p><\/td> 170<\/p><\/td> 154<\/p><\/td> 177<\/p><\/td> 160<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 70-74<\/p><\/td> 288<\/p><\/td> 258<\/p><\/td> 252<\/p><\/td> 275<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 75-79<\/p><\/td> 414<\/p><\/td> 400<\/p><\/td> 388<\/p><\/td> 397<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 80-84<\/p><\/td> 509<\/p><\/td> 492<\/p><\/td> 544<\/p><\/td> 583<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 85-89<\/p><\/td> 598<\/p><\/td> 570<\/p><\/td> 609<\/p><\/td> 605<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 90+<\/p><\/td> 599<\/p><\/td> 611<\/p><\/td> 736<\/p><\/td> 639<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Source: ONS<\/em><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Table 2: Average age of deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, Week ending 4 December to Week ending 25 December 20203,4,5,6,7<\/sup><\/strong><\/p> Week number<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 49<\/p><\/td> 50<\/p><\/td> 51<\/p><\/td> 52<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Week ended<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 04-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 11-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 18-Dec-20<\/p><\/td> 25-Dec-20<\/p><\/td><\/tr> All deaths<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Median age<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td> 82<\/p><\/td> 82<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Mean age<\/p><\/td> 78<\/p><\/td> 78<\/p><\/td> 79<\/p><\/td> 79<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Deaths involving COVID-19<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Median age<\/p><\/td> 83<\/p><\/td> 83<\/p><\/td> 83<\/p><\/td> 83<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Mean age<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td> 81<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Source: ONS<\/em><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Table 3: Number of deaths involving COVID-19, by age group and whether a pre-existing condition was present, England and Wales, deaths occurring between March and June 2020[8]<\/strong>,[9]<\/strong>,[10]<\/strong>,[11]<\/strong>,[12]<\/strong><\/sup><\/strong><\/p> Age<\/strong><\/p><\/td> All deaths involving COVID-19<\/strong><\/p><\/td> COVID-19 deaths with pre-existing condition <\/strong><\/p><\/td> COVID-19 deaths with no pre-existing condition <\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> 0-44<\/p><\/td> 542<\/p><\/td> 441<\/p><\/td> 101<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 45-49<\/p><\/td> 457<\/p><\/td> 366<\/p><\/td> 91<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 50-54<\/p><\/td> 847<\/p><\/td> 724<\/p><\/td> 123<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 55-59<\/p><\/td> 1,453<\/p><\/td> 1,226<\/p><\/td> 227<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 60-64<\/p><\/td> 2,065<\/p><\/td> 1,835<\/p><\/td> 230<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 65-69<\/p><\/td> 2,791<\/p><\/td> 2,498<\/p><\/td> 293<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 70-74<\/p><\/td> 4,627<\/p><\/td> 4,220<\/p><\/td> 407<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 75-79<\/p><\/td> 6,693<\/p><\/td> 6,174<\/p><\/td> 519<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 80-84<\/p><\/td> 9,588<\/p><\/td> 8,889<\/p><\/td> 699<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 85-89<\/p><\/td> 10,327<\/p><\/td> 9,525<\/p><\/td> 802<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 90+<\/p><\/td> 10,945<\/p><\/td> 9,961<\/p><\/td> 984<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> [1]https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsinvolvingcovid19englandandwales/deathsoccurringinjune2020<\/p> [2]https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregisteredweeklyinenglandandwalesprovisional/latest<\/a><\/p> [3] Deaths where COVID-19 (ICD10 codes U07.1 and U07.2) are mentioned anywhere on the death certificate<\/p>
