Mr. Timms [holding answer 28 February 2002]: The data requested are not yet available.

Security

Mr. Nigel Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent steps she has taken to improve security in (a) primary schools, (b) secondary schools, (c) colleges and (d) universities; and if she will make a statement. [40277]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: From 1997–98 to date, we have supported spending totalling £110 million through local education authorities to provide security improvements at maintained primary and secondary schools in England. In 1997 the Department issued joint guidance with the Home Office on "School Security-Dealing with Troublemakers", and in March 2001 the Department produced a video "Can You See What They See?" and set up a website "www.dfes.gov.uk/schoolsecurity/". Further education colleges and universities, as autonomous bodies, are responsible for their own security arrangements within the resources available to them.

Apprenticeships

Mark Tami: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans she has to promote the level of apprenticeships in the UK. [39897]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: Last November, at the launch of the new generation of Modern Apprenticeships, the Secretary of State announced a £16 million marketing campaign, to be run over three years in England, to promote apprenticeships and boost participation. That campaign, led jointly by the Department and the Learning and Skills Council, starts on 4 March with a new television advertisement, aimed at young people, which will run until the end of the month.

From the spring, a range of marketing measures will be introduced to reach not only young people, but also key influencers and employers. At the local level, Learning and Skills Councils, Connexions Partnerships, careers services and other partners will work together to raise awareness of, and foster support for, Modern Apprenticeships; and to provide young people with essential information and advice on the opportunities available in their communities. It is a key role of National Training Organisations and their successors the Sector Skills Councils in partnership with the LSC to ensure that employers continue to support MA and that they provide sufficient places to meet the demand from young people.

Marketing and promotion of MAs in the rest of the country is for the devolved Administrations.

Cambridge Education Associates

Dr. Vis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what restrictions she has placed on the information which Cambridge Education Associates can publish. [39952]

Supply Teachers

Mr. Brady: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate she has made of the number of supply teachers working in maintained schools for periods over one week but less than one month in each of the last five years, broken down by local authority area. [39554]

Mr. Timms [holding answer 1 March 2002]: Information is not collected centrally in the form requested. The numbers of occasional teachers with contracts of less than one month, working for the whole day on the survey date, in the maintained schools sector, in January of each year, 1997 to 2001, by local education authority 1 , 2 , were as follows.
