Ofsted Inspectors

Mr. Chris Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many complaints about individual inspectors have been received by Ofsted since 2000; and how many inspectors have been deregistered as a result of investigations into those complaints. [117349]

Mr. Miliband: This is a matter for the Ofsted and David Bell, the HM Chief Inspector will write to my hon. Friend and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Library.

School Funding

Paddy Tipping: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what estimate he has made of the level of funds held in school balances; and if he will list this, broken down by local education authority. [118614]

Mr. Miliband [holding answer 12 June 2003]: The following table indicates, for each local education authority, the balances carried forward by maintained schools in England at the end of the financial year 2001–02. The figures are taken from the outturn statements for that year produced by local education authorities under section 52 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. These figures should not, therefore, be taken as necessarily being representative either of the amounts being carried over at the end of 2002–03 or of the current position. Information on balances carried forward at the end of 2002–03 is not yet available because the deadline for the production of

13 Jun 2003 : Column 1140W

LEAs' outturn statements for that financial year is not until 10 October 2003, and it would be premature at this stage to attempt an estimate.

The figures, which represent surpluses net of deficits, are taken from Table 2 of the outturn statements for 2001–02 produced by local education authorities under section 52 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998.

Teacher Training

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many applicants there were for (a) undergraduate and (b) postgraduate secondary teacher training courses, (i) in total and (ii) broken down by subject, in each year since 1991. [118188]

Mr. Miliband: The tables show, the number of applications to undergraduate and postgraduate secondary teacher training courses in England and Wales that were processed by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service and the Graduate Teacher Training Registry respectively. Some applications are made independently of these bodies. Since 2001/02 it has also been possible to report the number of applications for England only as shown in the tables.

The number of postgraduate applications reflects the number of applicants to courses. Undergraduate applicants are allowed to make up to six applications per person. Data on applications for undergraduate teacher training courses for years before 1996/97 are not available.
