20 May 1996 : Column: 14

One school, Hackney Downs, Hackney, was transferred on 1 September 1995 to the conduct of an education association, and subsequently closed. On 9 May 1966 the Secretary of State announced that she was minded to transfer Langham school, Haringey, to the conduct of an education association, subject to responses to consultation.

Engineers and Scientists

Mr. Ingram: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to her answer of 11 March Official Report, column 431, how many professional engineers and technology officers of each category were employed at each grade in each of the Department of Education and Employment agencies in each year since 1991. [29826]

20 May 1996 : Column: 15

Mr. Robin Squire: The DFEE agencies employed one higher professional technology officer in the Employment Service in each year from 1 January 1991 to 1 January 1995. There are no practising professional engineers.

There may be professionally qualified engineers and technology officers working in mainstream grades. However, this information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Company Grants

Mr. Jamieson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what grants were given by her Department to company V, whose identity has been supplied to her, between 1989 and 1991; and which grants covered training in welding and lamination. [30035]

Mr. Robin Squire: My Department has paid no grants directly to company V between 1989 and 1991.

Departmental Employees (Unfair Treatment)

Mrs. Helen Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many cases of unfair treatment have been taken to industrial tribunals by employees of the Department of Employment in each year since 1988; and in how many of these the industrial tribunal found in favour of the employee. [28661]

Mr. Robin Squire [holding answer 13 May 1996]: Prior to its break-up on 5 July 1995, the Department of Employment Group held no central records of the number of cases of alleged unfair treatment taken to industrial tribunals by employees. The best information available is as follows:

Year	Number of cases taken	Number of cases found in employee's favour
1988	4	1
1989	3	1
1990	5	2
1991	3	0
1992	8	0
1993	35	2
1994	53	0
1995	40	5
