Mr. Rob Wilson:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of the 18 to 24-year-old population of Reading East constituency was not in education, training or employment in each quarter since the second quarter of 2001; and if he will make a statement. [159528]
Angela Eagle:
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Mike Hughes, dated 22 October 2007 :
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question about young people not in education, training or employment. I am replying in her absence. (159528)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles statistics for local areas from the annual local area Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Annual Population Survey (APS) following International Labour Organisation (ILO) definitions. Quarterly data are not available for parliamentary constituencies.
The table attached, shows the numbers of 18 to 24 year olds not in full-time education, employment or training, resident in Reading East constituency for the 12 month periods ending in February for 2002 to 2004 from the local area LFS and for the 12 month periods ending in March for 2005 to 2007, from the APS. The table also shows these numbers as the percentage of all 18 to 24 year olds in the area for each year.
Estimates for a subset of the population in a small geographical area, are based on very small sample sizes, and are therefore subject to large margins of uncertainty.
