John Battle:
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what funding his Department has made available to (a) all
unemployed persons and (b) unemployed persons under the age of 21 in Leeds, West constituency to learn new skills to retrain in the latest period for which information is available; and if he will make a statement. [294021]
Kevin Brennan: The information is not available at constituency level. I have asked the acting chief executive of the Learning and Skills Council to write to my right hon. Friend with information about funding for training for unemployed people available in his region.
A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library.
Young People: Employment
Miss McIntosh: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what his most recent estimate is of the number of young people under the age of 24 years who are in (a) training, (b) employment and (c) education in (i) Vale of York constituency, (ii) North Yorkshire and (iii) England. [294583]
Kevin Brennan: Table 1 shows the number and percentage of 16-24-year-olds in employment, education and training for England and the local education authorities (LEAs) of North Yorkshire and the City of York in 2008. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
These estimates are from the Annual Population Survey (2008).

| Number | Percentage (of total l6-24 population) | |||||
| England | North Yorkshire | City of York | England | North Yorkshire | City of York | |
| (1) Age used is the respondents' academic age, which is their age at the preceding 31 August | ||||||
There are overlaps between these groups as some people will be both working and in education or training.
Due to small sample sizes, estimates cannot be provided for areas smaller than LEAs. Please note that these estimates are subject to sampling variability and should be viewed in conjunction with their Confidence Intervals (CIs), which indicate how accurate an estimate is. For example, a CI of +/-0.6pp means that the sampling variability ranges from 0.6pp above the estimate and 0.6pp below the estimate. Confidence Intervals for table 1 have been provided in Table 2.
