Table 3 contains data on the amount of funding awarded to hosts of Competition Managers for the roles of Senior Competition Managers and Competition Managers during the last four years of the programme.

Award funding issued for Competition Manager and Senior Competition Manager posts	750,000	1,597,750	2,960,500	8,340,183

We have been advised that it is not possible to provide the average salary of a competition manager as a number of these posts receive funding from other sources.

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much funding has been provided to UK School Games from (a) the public purse and (b) the National Lottery in each of the last three years; and what estimate he has made of the amounts to be so provided in each of the next three years. [254357]

Mr. Sutcliffe: The Youth Sports Trust has advised that the following funding has been provided to the UK School Games:

(a) No funding was provided in 2006 or 2007 from the public purse. In 2008 a total of £2.8 million was provided from the public purse. £2.3 million came from the Legacy Trust and £500,000 from the Department for Children, Schools and Families.

10 Feb 2009 : Column 1892W

(b) In 2006 the National Lottery provided £1.486 million in funding via the Millennium Commission and in 2007, £2.3 million through the Big Lottery. There was no funding given in 2008.

For the next three years from 2009, funding will be provided as follows:

(a) The public purse will provide a total of £3.7 million from the Legacy Trust. There will be no further National Lottery funding during this period.

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what the cost of staging each UK School Games has been since it was established. [254358]

Mr. Sutcliffe: The Youth Sports Trust has advised that the cost of staging the UK school games since it was established has been £8,886,000 in total.

For 2006 the cost was £2,036,000; for 2007, £3,150,000; and for 2008, £3,700,000. This includes the legacy support provided by non governmental bodies.

Music: Teachers

Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many applications to the fund established to support the professional development of music teachers were received in each of the last three years; how many applicants were granted funding; and how many have subsequently completed programmes so funded. [254393]

Sarah McCarthy-Fry: I have been asked to reply.

In the pilot programme from 2007 to 2008, 733 teachers had completed some modules and 304 of these had completed portfolios by the end of 2008. Under the programme from September 2008, 930 teachers have begun work.

The aim of the Key Stage 2 Music continuing professional development programme is to establish a growing body of music practitioners who have considered at a deep level the issues surrounding teaching and learning in the context of whole class instrumental and vocal activity. Participants complete up to 14 modules through workshops and online learning, as well as benefiting from one-to-one mentoring. As with all professional development this is an ongoing process. The completion of a portfolio indicates a key milestone but does not indicate that a teacher's professional development is complete, or necessarily that the professional development of other teachers is somehow deficient. Teachers who have engaged with the programme have expressed high levels of satisfaction and even at this early stage we have every reason to believe that children's experience of music making is benefiting as a result. The first report on the effectiveness of the programme will be published in March.

Innovation, Universities and Skills

Apprentices

Phil Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills what his most recent estimate of the number of apprenticeship places in each local authority area is. [253481]

10 Feb 2009 : Column 1893W

Mr. Simon: Since 1997 we have witnessed a renaissance in apprenticeships from a low point of 64,000 with only 27 per cent. completions to last year's record high of 225,000 with 64 per cent. completions, a remarkable achievement.

Table 1 shows the number of apprenticeship starts by age in 2007/08, broken down by local authority. A copy of this table has been provided and the relevant data will be placed in the Library.

This information is also available on the Data Service website, and was released alongside the post-16 education statistical first release, which was published on 18 December 2008:

Notes: 1. Volumes are rounded to the nearest hundred. 2. These figures include WBL (apprenticeships only). 3. The following data sources have been used; WBL 2007/08. 4. This table uses programme starts as a measure for comparative purposes. Full-year numbers are a count of the number of starts at any point during the year. Learners starting more than one course will appear more than once. 5. Programme-Led Apprenticeships recorded in WBL ILR returns are included in the above figures. 6. Government Office Region and Local Authority are based upon the home postcode of the learner. Where the postcode is outside of England, learners are included in the ‘Other' category. Where postcode is not known this is also included in the ‘Other' category. 7. ‘—’ indicates a base value of less than 50.
