Tuition Fees

Paul Holmes: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when the independent commission on tuition fees is expected to be appointed; when the review is planned to take place; when the commission is expected to report back to Parliament; and if he will make a statement. [84181]

Bill Rammell: We have nothing to add at this stage to the commitments we gave during the passage of the Higher Education Act 2004. Our intention is that the commission will report to Parliament by the end of 2009. The commission’s terms of reference are already in the public domain.

It is important that there is public confidence in the commission’s work, and the Government will keep Parliament informed as practical arrangements are decided.

Young Offenders (Education)

Mr. Hayes: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many people of school age are in custody; and what education they receive. [84276]

Mr. Dhanda: Youth Justice Board figures show that as at 7 July 2006 there were 1,356 children aged 16 and under held within custody. The specification set by the Youth Justice Board requires that all young people in custody are provided with a 25-hour a week programme, and this rises to 30 hours in secure children’s homes and secure training centres, with a broad and balanced curriculum, reflecting the requirements of the national curriculum for those of school age. All young people are assessed upon entry to custody to ascertain their literacy and numeracy levels and whether they have special needs. There is specific provision for those with special needs determined by the requirements of their individual learning plan.

Youth Sport Trust

Kate Hoey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what grants his Department has made to the Youth Sport Trust in each of the past five years. [82799]

Jim Knight: Over the past five years, the Department for Education and Skills has funded the Youth Sport Trust for work in connection with a range of programmes, as follows:
