Stephen Williams: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of the (a) Train to Gain, (b) 19+ FE and (c) 19+ work-based learning budget was spent on (i) first full Level 1, (ii) first full Level 2, (iii) first full Level 3 and (iv) spending outside these categories in the most recent year for which figures are available. [145426]
Phil Hope: We have increased public investment in further education by 48 per cent. in real terms between 1997-98 and 2005-06. Adult education funding will increase by 7 per cent. between 2005-06 and 2007-08, with funding for young people increasing by 13 per cent. over the same period. This means that overall in 2007-08, through the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) we will invest £11.2 billion, an increase of £716 million compared with 2006-07. This includes the significant investment in Train to Gain to ensure more employers are able to receive the training they need for employees. Train to Gain has yet to complete a first year. It started in April 2006, and reached full coverage across England in August 2006. Train to Gain full operational capacity will be reached at the end of 2007-08. The Train to Gain budget will grow by 62 per cent. to £460 million in 2007-08.
The Department does not hold information on publicly funded post-16 provision at levels requested. Mark Haysom, the Learning and Skills Councils chief
executive will reply to the hon. Member with the requested information and will place a copy of his reply in the House Library.
Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much (a) capital and (b) revenue funding was allocated to Warrington Collegiate in each year since 1997, broken down by funding stream category. [141158]
Bill Rammell:
This Government are fully committed to developing a world leading FE system. In 1996-97, Government expenditure for FE capital was nil. In 2007-08, the Government plan to spend just under
£500 million on FE capital. In a little over a decade, the total investment by this Government in the FE sectors buildings and facilities will be just over £2 billion.
We have increased revenue funding in further education by 48 per cent. in real terms between 1997-98 and 2005-06. In 2007-08, through the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), we will invest £11.2 billion, an increase of £716 million compared with 2006-07.
The LSC capital and revenue funding allocations to Warrington Collegiate for each year since 2001, when the LSC was established, are set out in Table 1. Information on allocations prior to 2001-02 is a matter for LSC and Mark Haysom, the LSC Chief Executive, will write to the hon. Member with this information and a copy of his reply will be placed in the House Library.

Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many fatalities there were of children aged (a) zero to four, (b) five to eight, (c) nine to 12 and (d) 13 to 16 years where the cause of death occurred in (i) the home, (ii) at school, (iii) in hospital, (iv) on a sports ground or similar space where sporting activities occur, (v) public parks and (vi) other places in each year since 1997. [144277]
John Healey: I have been asked to reply.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 25 June 2007:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your four recent questions about deaths of children listed here:
How many deaths there have been following recorded injuries of children aged (a) 0 to four, (b) five to eight, (c) nine to 12 and (d) 13 to 16 years which have taken place (i) in the home, (ii) at school, (iii) in hospital, (iv) on a sports ground or other place where sporting activities occur, (v) in public parks and (vi) in other places in each year since 1997; (144259)
how many deaths there have been following recorded injuries of children aged (a) 0 to four, (b) five to eight, (c) nine to 12 and (d) 13 to 16 years in each year since 1997; (144262)
how many fatalities there were of children aged (a) zero to four, (b) five to eight, (c) nine to 12 and (d) 13 to 16 years in each year since 1997; (144278)
how many fatalities there were of children aged (a) zero to four, (b) five to eight, (c) nine to 12 and (d) 13 to 16 years where the cause of death occurred in (i) the home, (ii) at school, (iii) in hospital, (iv) on a sports ground or similar space where sporting activities occur, (v) public parks and (vi) other places in each year since 1997. (144277)
Not all of the information you requested exists. The Office for National Statistics does not collect information on recorded injuries but does collect data on all registered deaths, including those with an underlying cause of injury, categorised by coroners verdictaccident, intentional self-harm, homicide, and injury of undetermined intent. Information on place of occurrence of death is collected at registration for all deaths.
However, information on place of occurrence of the cause of death (i.e. where the person was when they were injured or became ill) is only collected on coroner's certificates of cause of death after inquest for deaths from injury and poisoning with a verdict of accident (including misadventure). The coroner is asked to select one often pre-specified categories of place where the accident occurred.
The place of accident is then coded by ONS according to the revision of the International Classification of Diseases in use at the time (Ninth Revision ICD-9 from 1979 to 2000, and Tenth Revision ICD-10 since 2001). Home and place of sport or recreation, are specified categories in both revisions, but school and hospital are not. They are subsumed in much larger categories: both are in public building in ICD-10, but hospital was classified in resident institution in ICD-9. Place of occurrence of injury is not coded in the same way for deaths from transport accidents, but the vast majority of these are motor vehicle accidents, and for most the place of accident would be street or highway. We have shown transport accidents separately in attached tables.
The tables below show the number of deaths in children by age group for all deaths, and deaths with a coroners verdict of accident by place of occurrence of accident, between 1997 and 2005 in England and Wales.
