Learning Difficulties

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) how many people with severe learning difficulties are in work (a) in total and (b) as a percentage of the total number of people with severe learning difficulties; [158102]

1 May 2001 : Column: 554W

Ms Hodge: The latest labour force statistics indicate that there are 47,000 people in Great Britain with severe or specific learning difficulties in employment; this accounts for 29 per cent. of the total number of people with severe or specific learning difficulties. The same

1 May 2001 : Column: 555W

source indicates that in Great Britain 12,000 people with severe or specific learning difficulties are unemployed; this represents 7 per cent. of the total number. The remaining 64 per cent. of those with severe or specific learning difficulties are classed as economically inactive.

The White Paper "Valuing People--A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century" which was published in March 2001 sets out the Government's commitment to improving the life changes of people with learning difficulties. It states our aim to increase the number of people with learning disabilities in employment and to work towards their achieving parity with other disabled people in the work force.

Beacon Colleges

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on the criteria used for the award of Beacon College status. [159000]

Mr. Wicks [holding answer 26 April 2001]: Taking into account the advice of Inspectorates, Ministers have awarded beacon status to colleges that are considered to

1 May 2001 : Column: 556W

be truly outstanding. Potential candidates were drawn from those colleges that have achieved excellent inspection reports, taking particular account of those serving areas of social deprivation.

The future of Beacon Colleges and the criteria used to assess them will be reviewed in light of recent changes in the post-16 sector, including the new inspection framework.

Excellence Challenge

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list those areas which are currently participating in the Excellence Challenge; and what percentage of undergraduate entrants from those areas are from social categories III, IV and V. [159001]

Mr. Wicks [holding answer 26 April 2001]: The percentage of young accepted undergraduate applicants from social categories III, IV and V from each of the areas participating in the Excellence Challenge is shown in the following table.
