203W Written Answers 26 OCTOBER 2009 Written Answers 204W The downward trend in entrants to ITT courses specialising in Modern Foreign Languages reflects the target number of places set for recruitment and the low level of teacher vacancies in the subject. Travelling People: Schools Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether local authority performance targets on Traveller pupils are part of his Department’s national indicator set. [294898] Mr. Coaker: Currently local authorities have to set performance targets for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils at key stages 2 and 4 where there is a cohort of 30 or more pupils. Recent changes to the target setting regulations mean that from 2010, performance targets will need to be set where there is a cohort of three or more Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils. Vocational Guidance: Finance Mr. Hayes: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how much funding has been provided to each local authority to provide careers services in accordance with sections 68 and 69 of the Education and Skills Act 2008. [295587] Mr. Iain Wright: The Education and Skills Act 2008 transfers to local authorities the statutory responsibility for the delivery of Connexions services, including assessments for young people with learning difficulties. Sections 68 and 69 of the Act require local authorities to provide services, as directed by the Secretary of State, to encourage, enable or assist the effective participation of young people in education or training. Responsibility and funding for Connexions services, including information, advice and guidance and careers services, transferred to local authorities on 1 April 2008. The funding is paid via the area based grant arrangements and is not ring fenced. We do not collect information on what precisely the Connexions funding is spent on. Connexions grant funding is allocated using a national funding formula which is based on the 13-19 population, educational attainment, NEET figures and deprivation indicators. The funding formula is intended to share out the national Connexions budget between the 152 local authorities in a way that is fair, objective and transparent, so that they can deliver a high quality service to all young people. It is intended that the formula should broadly reflect the needs of an area and that it is then for local authorities to decide how best to use their funding to deliver Connexions services locally. We only have information on the funding provided for the provision of Connexions services as a whole which includes the provision of careers services. Some local authorities reflecting the needs of their area, may commission additional services from a number of other agencies. The amount of funding allocated to each local authority for the provision of Connexions services since 2008 is as follows: Connexions grant allocations 2008 to 2011 Local authority 2008-09 200-10 2010-11 Barking and 2,135,835 2,240,946 2,307,413 Dagenham Barnet 2,859,769 2,714,745 2,620,723 Barnsley 2,205,107 2,313,628 2,543,299 Bath and North East 1,403,928 1,370,345 1,363,043 Somerset Bedfordshire 1 3,505,688 — — Bedford Borough — 1,465,059 1,462,201 Central Bedfordshire — 1,965,163 1,976,288 Bexley 2,258,109 2,224,658 2,241,851 Birmingham 11,598,496 11,054,022 11,041,218 Blackburn with 1,897,017 1,944,424 1,942,646 Darwen Blackpool 1,847,217 1,837,938 1,827,692 Bolton 2,951,714 3,096,977 3,126,891 Bournemouth 1,322,610 1,387,700 1,417,809 Bracknell Forest 1,248,546 1,185,230 1,065,998 Bradford 4,999,312 5,231,922 5,261,420 Brent 2,601,070 2,483,963 2,469,858 Brighton and Hove 2,180,983 2,189,813 2,167,918 Bristol 3,576,383 3,484,002 3,447,371 Bromley 2,499,349 2,403,908 2,408,810 Buckinghamshire 3,784,634 3,592,708 3,455,960 Bury 1,656,126 1,737,629 1,887,805 Calderdale 2,073,434 2,046,741 2,057,580 Cambridgeshire 4,536,860 4,306,787 4,066,514 Camden 1,925,970 2,020,753 2,079,846 Cheshire 1 5,350,028 — — Cheshire East — 2,490,744 2,504,255 Cheshire West and — 2,738,198 2,739,897 Chester City of London 217,476 228,178 250,829 Cornwall 3,965,389 4,123,537 4,120,511 Coventry 3,342,950 3,173,422 3,158,928 Croydon 3,205,064 3,209,614 3,211,589 Cumbria 4,442,949 4,217,638 4,093,511 Darlington 995,950 1,044,964 1,148,696 Derby (City) 2,364,299 2,453,271 2,458,612 Derbyshire 6,058,264 5,906,203 5,955,901 Devon 5,387,090 5,220,313 5,227,787 Doncaster 3,134,965 3,289,247 3,347,957 Dorset 2,822,958 2,961,884 3,020,302 Dudley 3,031,490 3,029,173 3,023,431 Durham 4,956,762 4,999,034 5,003,606 Ealing 2,514,411 2,573,209 2,588,967 East Riding of 2,395,442 2,513,329 2,539,149 Yorks East Sussex 3,996,083 4,127,521 4,133,868 Enfield 3,048,524 2,942,302 2,946,685 Essex 10,837,768 10,731,707 10,788,610 Gateshead 1,910,170 2,004,175 2,118,030 Gloucestershire 4,846,892 4,601,097 4,288,908 Greenwich 2,868,202 3,009,355 3,168,221 Hackney 2,609,071 2,737,472 2,888,913 Halton 1,603,374 1,682,281 1,718,540 Hammersmith and 1,475,346 1,547,953 1,592,527 Fulham Hampshire 9,515,254 9,399,152 9,393,133 Haringey 2,476,065 2,593,898 2,588,100 Harrow 1,879,255 1,874,784 1,846,840 Hartlepool 1,113,733 1,168,543 1,284,543 Havering 2,255,523 2,141,141 2,087,035 Herefordshire 1,548,216 1,469,703 1,394,246 Hertfordshire 8,576,130 8,141,218 8,184,407 Hillingdon 2,863,097 2,717,904 2,588,297 Hounslow 2,295,067 2,289,625 2,275,528

Young People: Drugs Angela Watkinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department’s measures to tackle drug taking by young people. [295138] Dawn Primarolo: Reducing the number of young people misusing drugs or alcohol is one of the Government’s national priorities and progress is measured through National Indicator 115 and through delivery of the commitments set out in the National Drug Strategy (2008). Drug use among young people (11-15) has fallen significantly from 20 per cent. in 2001 to 15 per cent. in 2008. Drug use among 16 to 25-year-olds has also decreased significantly from 29.7 per cent. in 1996 to 22.6 per cent. in 2008/09. At the same time as these falls, there are a record number of treatment places available for those young people (under 18) who need them.
