EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT
National Training Organisations
Mr. Robert Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment pursuant to his answer of 3 April 2001, Official Report, column 125W, for what reason the list of 1,140 organisations and 570 postcodes placed in the Library differs from the total of 2,330 organisations to which the consultation paper was sent; and if he will place the full list of the 2,330 organisations in the Library. [160060]
Mr. Wicks: The discrepancies in the list placed in the Library on 3 April were due to a clerical error. I apologise for the inconvenience caused by this. A full list has now been placed in the Library. I have asked officials to ensure that a full list is also sent to the hon. Member.

Departmental Advertising
Mr. Ian Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what major advertising campaigns his Department is carrying out; and what the cost and duration of each is. [154263]
Mr. Wills [holding answer 19 March 2001]: No advertising campaigns are currently being run by the Department. The Teacher Training Agency is continuing its campaign to recruit teachers.
Medical Students
Dr. Gibson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) what changes in recruitment policy to medical schools there have been in the last five years, with particular reference to (a) gender, (b) ethnicity and (c) social class; [158442]
- (2) what his policy is for medical student recruitment in the new medical schools in relation to (a) gender, (b) ethnicity and (c) social class. [158443]
Mr. Wicks [holding answer 23 April 2001]: The number of places at medical schools is set by the Government. However, higher education institutions are responsible for their own recruitment and admissions procedures, which should be transparent and based on published criteria so that selection is on the basis of an applicant's ability and potential.
The number of medical school places was increased by 1,100 in 2000 and by a further 1,000 earlier this year. In both cases, when medical schools bid for extra places they were asked to demonstrate an active commitment to the recruitment of students from a broad range of social and ethnic backgrounds, to reflect the patterns of the population that they serve.
Curriculum 2000
Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many extra full-time equivalent teachers are required to deliver Curriculum 2000. [158876]
Mr. Wicks: There is no evidence at this stage to suggest we need more teachers to deliver Curriculum 2000.
