Every year we honour the memory of the Roma and Sinti population murdered by the Nazi's at the annual Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations on 27 January. The 2nd of August marks the liquidation of the Gypsy Family camp' at Auschwitz-Birkenau and this year due to the restrictions on gatherings brought about by the Covid -19 pandemic we will be honouring the memory of the Roma and Sinti men, women and children murdered by the Nazi's on social media.<\/p>

Reforms to HMRC\u2019s preferential creditor status will not<\/em> restore Crown Preference. The Government has taken a proportionate approach, applying changes only to taxes paid in good faith by employees and customers, but held temporarily by the business, including Pay as You Earn (PAYE) Income Tax and VAT. Since reforms were announced at Budget 2018, officials and interested parties have maintained productive and fruitful discussion. The Government held a formal consultation between February and May 2019, seeking views from businesses, lenders and insolvency practitioners. Having balanced the interests of taxpayers, the Exchequer and other creditors, the Government believes these reforms take a fair and proportionate approach. This measure was legislated for in Finance Act 2020, to take effect from 1 December.<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>"}

I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.<\/p> Dear Lord Kennedy,<\/p> As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people have died from inhaling nitrous oxide (HL7033)<\/strong>.<\/p> In March 2018 we published a report providing the number of deaths related to volatile substance abuse and helium in England, Wales and Scotland[1]. This report describes trends in deaths involving volatile substances registered between 2001 and 2016 in Great Britain. Please see table 1 below for data where types of volatile substance are mentioned on the death certificate from the March 2018 publication. We would recommend referring to the report, where possible, due to the complexity of the methodology surrounding the use of coroner\u2019s text to identify relevant deaths.<\/p> Following the March 2018 publication, we published ad-hoc requests from members of the public, which include: the number of deaths in England and Wales involving nitrogen and nitrous oxide 2001-2016[2]; and deaths where nitrous oxide was mentioned on the death certificate 1993-2017[3]. Please note, published figures differ across these datasets due to the methodology used and the differing definitions of nitrous oxide deaths.<\/p> We intend to publish an update of the volatile substance report and accompanying datasets later this year. This is dependent on resource due to the current pandemic.<\/p> Yours sincerely<\/p> Professor Sir Ian Diamond<\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Table 1: Number of deaths related to volatile substance abuse, where types of volatile substance mentioned on the death certificate, England and Wales, deaths registered in 2001 to 2016[4]<\/strong>[5]<\/strong>[6]<\/strong>[7]<\/strong>[8]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p> Registration Year<\/p><\/td> Nitrogen related deaths<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2001<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2002<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2003<\/p><\/td> 0<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2004<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2005<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2006<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2007<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2008<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2009<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2010<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2011<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2012<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2013<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2014<\/p><\/td> 9<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015<\/p><\/td> 16<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016<\/p><\/td> 23<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> |
