4 Jun 2008 : Column 956W—continued


The latest figures on early education places for three and four year olds in England were published in Statistical First Release (SFR) 12/2008 "Provision for children under five years of age in England: January 2008, available on my Department's website

The Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) was only introduced in 2006-07. We do not separately identify the amount of funding in the DSG for early years. It is up to the local authorities to decide how to distribute their overall allocation.

In 2004-05 and 2005-06 LAs received funding to provide free nursery education for three and four year-olds through the under-fives sub-block of their Education Formula Spending Share (EPS). In 2004-05 £3,208 million was funded through the under-fives block of the Education Formula Spending (EFS) and in 2005-06 £3,456 million was funded. EFS was not ringfenced, so funding for education—including the notional under 5's funding—could be spent on other sectors and vice versa.

Pre-School Education: Per Capita Costs

Susan Kramer: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what per pupil funding was awarded for three to five year-olds taking up the 12.5 hours a week early years entitlement in each year since 2001; and if he will make a statement. [206146]

Beverley Hughes: Since 2006, funding for the free early education entitlement has been part of thededicated schools grant which funds schools and early years providers for all three to 15 year-olds. Funding for three to five year-olds is not separately identified and each local authority determines distribution to providers, including per pupil amounts.

The underlying changes to the funding of children under five since 2001 make any figures on per pupil funding since that date incomparable.

Primary Education: School Meals

Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what foods are (a) prohibited and (b) discouraged in primary schools with Healthy Schools status. [208055]

Kevin Brennan: All primary schools, with or without Healthy Schools status, have to meet the food-based nutritional standards introduced in September 2006 for school lunches and from September 2007 for other school food. They will also have to meet the nutrient-based standards which will be introduced for primary school lunches in September 2008.

Primary schools that have achieved national Healthy Schools status would have satisfied 41 criteria under four core themes which include a Healthy Eating theme. Under this theme, a Healthy School would have developed a food policy which ensures that lunches, breakfast club, tuck shop, vending machine and after-school food service (where available in school) meets or exceeds current DCSF school food standards.

Reoffenders

Mr. Burrowes: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how many and what proportion of breaches of a (a) community rehabilitation order, (b) supervision order, (c)
4 Jun 2008 : Column 957W
community punishment order, (d) attendance centre order, (e) curfew order, (f) reparation order, (g) action plan order and (h) referral order led to a court appearance in each of the last five years; [207094]

(2) what the (a) breach rates and (b) completion rates were for young offenders sentenced to a (i) community rehabilitation order, (ii) supervision order, (iii) community punishment order, (iv) attendance centre order, (v) curfew order, (vi) reparation order, (vii) action plan order and (viii) referral order in each of the last five years. [207095]


4 Jun 2008 : Column 958W

Beverley Hughes [holding answer 22 May]: Data on breaches broken down by individual order is collated centrally only for the community punishment order, community rehabilitation order and community punishment and rehabilitation order. The percentage of offenders fully completing these orders, alongside percentages of offenders whose orders are terminated together with reason and sex is given in the following table. This information is contained in the offender management caseload statistics 2006.
