The 25 Year Environment Plan sets out our ambitions for reducing leakage. This includes supporting Ofwat\u2019s challenge to the industry to reduce leakage by 15% by 2025.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Ofwat monitors progress against leakage targets and will take action if water companies do not meet them. For example, following an Ofwat investigation into Thames Water\u2019s leakage performance, Thames Water agreed to pay £65 million back to customers as part of an overall package of payments and penalties worth £120 million.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We expect water companies to set ambitious leakage reduction targets and make sure they meet these targets. Water companies are currently setting out their targets for leakage reduction in their long term water resources management plans.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

In 2016/17, South West Water\u2019s leakage rate was 102 litres per property per day, Bristol Water\u2019s rate was 87 litres per property per day and Wessex Water was 112 litres per property per day. This compares with a national figure of 121 litres per property per day. <\/ins><\/p>

All water companies are currently setting out their targets for leakage reduction in their long term water resources management plans. <\/ins><\/p>

Letter from John Pullinger CB, National Statistician, to The Lord Pearson of Rannoch, dated 15 June 2018.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Dear Lord Pearson,<\/p>

<\/p>

As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking about the number of suicides since 2000 of separated fathers compared to those of separated mothers (HL8615)<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes suicide rates for the UK, constituent countries, regions and local authorities in England and Wales in an annual bulletin[1].<\/p>

The information we hold on deaths is limited to what is recorded on the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death by a doctor, provided to the registrar by the informant at the time of death registration, or recorded by a coroner following their inquest into the cause and circumstances of the death. We can provide the number of suicides per year by legal marital status, but we have no available information on whether the deceased was (a) separated at the time of death, that is, living apart from their partner; or (b) was a father or mother.<\/p>

<\/p>

Table 1 attached provides the numbers and crude rates per 100,00 persons of deaths due to suicide, by sex, for each year between 2000 and 2016 in England and Wales. The rates are broken down by marital status recorded at death. A copy has been placed in the House of Lords Library.<\/p>

<\/p>

Yours sincerely,<\/p>

<\/p>

John Pullinger <\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

We have interpreted your question to refer to the death, for any reason, of receiving or paying parent who is named on a case managed by the Child Support Agency (CSA) or the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).<\/p>

<\/p>

Data is only available for the 2003 CSA scheme, and for the CMS since December 2015. IIt<\/del> It <\/ins>is standard practice for the Department to be informed of a death and for this to be recorded on departmental systems. It is only possible to identify a death of a case participant where the Department has a National Insurance number for the parent involved and has been informed of the death. Where the Department is informed of a death only the date is recorded as standard practice and as such any link beyond involvement in a case cannot be established.<\/p>

<\/p>

For 2003 scheme cases managed by the CSA there were 71,200 deaths informed to DWP between 2003 and 31st December 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

For cases managed by the CMS there were 3,500 deaths informed to DWP between 1st December 2015 and 31st December 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

Numbers have been rounded to the nearest one hundred.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3349", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Buscombe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Buscombe"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-06-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/923153/answer/previousversion/65349", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3349", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Buscombe"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Buscombe"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-06-25T13:44:36.35Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2018-07-17T15:04:25.317Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-06-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Maintenance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government how many deaths since 2000 have been linked to Child Support Agency cases or cases managed by the Child Maintenance Service.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3153", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Pearson of Rannoch"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Pearson of Rannoch"} ], "uin" : "HL8617"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 4, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
