Teachers
Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many qualified entrants to full-time or part-time service there were in the maintained nursery/primary and secondary sector in England in each year since 1997, broken down by (a) newly qualified entrants, (b) deferred entrants, (c) re-entrants and (d) subject in the case of secondary school teachers. [118117]
Mr. Miliband: The tables show qualified entrants to full-time or part-time regular service in the maintained nursery/primary or secondary sector in England.
The tables showing entrants to the secondary phase show the main subjects of teacher training. A teacher can appear under two different subject rows, reflecting the fact that some teachers qualify in more than one subject. The figures shown in the first table are not based on subject and therefore exclude any double counting. Teachers with 'other' subjects or 'subjects not known' are included in the secondary totals but not shown separately.
Around 10 per cent. to 20 per cent. of part-timers may not be included.

FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH AFFAIRS
Burma
Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with (a) the international community and (b) the Burmese military regime about (i) implementing the 1992 democratic election result and (ii) achieving good governance. [117993]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: We regularly take the opportunity of our bilateral and multilateral contacts with the international community to discuss democracy and good governance in Burma. We, and other UN partners co-sponsored the recent UNCHR resolution on Burma on 16 April 2003. We also remain in close contact with the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy to Burma, Razali Ismail. We welcome that he was able to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi on his recent visit to Burma and that she was unharmed. However, we still remain deeply concerned over the situation in Burma and call for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi and members of the NLD.
13 Jun 2003 : Column 1148W
The UK has made numerous representations to the Burmese Authorities. Most recently, on 2 June 2003, my hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Bill Rammell) called in the Burmese Ambassador to express the British Government's deep concern over recent events in Burma. On 6 June 2003, I spoke to the Burmese Deputy Foreign Minister to reiterate our concern and to call for substantive and meaningful dialogue with the democratic movement.
We and our EU colleagues agreed to strengthen and update the EU Common Position on Burma on 14 April 2003. The Common Position contains a range of measures designed to bring pressure to bear on the military regime to move towards national reconciliation, respect for human rights and democracy in Burma.
Julie Morgan: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he will make to the Burmese Government on the crackdown on democracy in Burma and the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi. [118060]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: We welcome that the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy to Burma, Razali Ismail, was able to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi on his recent visit to Burma and that she was unharmed. However, we remain deeply concerned about the latest developments in Burma and have firmly called on the Burmese to release immediately Aung San Suu Kyi (ASSK) and National League for Democracy (NLD) colleagues, and to reopen NLD offices and universities in Burma. Our embassy in Rangoon has repeatedly called on the Burmese authorities and criticised them over their actions. On 2 June 2003, my hon. Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Bill Rammell) called in the Burmese Ambassador to express the British Government's deep concern over recent events in Burma. On 6 June 2003, I spoke to the Burmese Deputy Foreign Minister to reiterate our concern and to call for substantive and meaningful dialogue with the democratic movement.
We are now in discussion with our EU and other international partners about what further steps we will take against the Burmese Government if they do not provide immediate satisfactory responses.
Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on the development of democratic representative government in Burma. [118460]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: With EU colleagues, we decided to strengthen and update the EU Common Position on Burma in April 2003. The Common Position contains a range of measures designed to bring pressure to bear on the military regime to move towards national reconciliation, respect for human rights and democracy in Burma. We are in regular contact with EU partners and are in discussion on what further steps we will take if the regime does not provide immediate satisfactory responses.
Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking to prevent trade in contravention of UN sanctions between the Burmese military regime and other countries. [118548]
13 Jun 2003 : Column 1149W
Mr. Mike O'Brien: At the present time there are no UN sanctions on trade with Burma. There is, however, an EU Common Position on Burma. EU companies wishing to trade with Burma have their export licence applications rigorously assessed against the consolidated EU export and national arms licensing criteria.
