Education Maintenance Allowance
Edward Miliband:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what percentage of the relevant cohort in Doncaster North is eligible for an education maintenance allowance, broken down by ward. [35599]
Maria Eagle:
It is not possible to accurately estimate what percentage of young people will be eligible for education maintenance allowance (EMA) at sub-national level. However, for the academic year 2005/06, we estimate that around 55 per cent. of young people in full-time education nationally will be eligible for EMA. Eligibility in Doncaster local education authority as a whole is likely to be higher than this.
Free School Meals
Mr. Burstow:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils there were on (a) primary, (b) secondary and (c) special schools rolls in (i) England, (ii) London and (iii) each London borough in each of the last five years; and how many (A)took and (B) were eligible for free school meals in each case. [35421]
Jacqui Smith:
The requested information has been placed in the House Libraries.
Edward Miliband:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many children in Doncaster North constituency receive free school meals; and what the figures were in each year since 1997. [35679]
