TVEI

Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland at 1990 -91 prices, what is the expenditure on technical and vocational education initiative per school pupil in every year from 1985-86 to 1991-92.

Mr. Allan Stewart : TVEI can extend to every 14 to 18-year-old undergoing full-time education ; it therefore includes students aged 16 to 18 attending colleges as well as school pupils in this age group. The education authorities have entered into and extended their participation in TVEI at varying rates over the years. Expenditure on a per school pupil basis would be available only at disproportionate cost. But spending is not necessarily geared to the number of students and any unit costs derived would not be meaningful. Total expenditure in Scotland on TVEI at 1990-91 prices is as follows :

Employment Training

Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of employment training trainees gained qualifications in Scotland in each year since employment training started.

Mr. Allan Stewart : The information is not available in the form requested. Information about leavers is obtained through a survey which started in July 1990. Returns from leavers are incomplete. Data provided by this survey about the percentage of employment training trainees gaining a qualification or a credit toward one is set out in the table :

Public Drunkenness

Mr. Dewar : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his policy in respect of the decriminalisation of public drunkenness.

Mr. Lang : The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980 gave the police power to take a drunken offender to a

designated place, as an alternative to arrest. The Government remain prepared to designate places as suitable for the care of drunken persons if the local statutory bodies so wish, and will in addition consider assisting with the capital costs of such projects. We have no proposals for further change to the criminal law in this regard.

Electoral Statistics

Mr. David Marshall : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland further to his answer of 25 February, Official Report, column 385, when he expects to be able to publish the total electorate for each parliamentary constituency in Scotland, as at 16 February 1991 ; and when he intends to write to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Shettleston.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton : The total electorate for each parliamentary constituency in Scotland, as at 16 February 1991, is as follows :

Alcohol-related Crime

Mr. Hood : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to include the specific statistical data of young persons under 18 years in each category of criminal convictions where alcohol was directly or indirectly involved in the crime.
