industry. [141696]
Mr. Wicks: [holding answer 11 December 2000]: On 30 June 2000 (the latest date for which figures have been published), there were
17,200 young people on Advanced Modern Apprenticeships in Engineering Manufacturing and Engineering Construction in England,
accounting for 13 per cent. of those in training on all Advanced Modern Apprenticeships. For Foundation Modern Apprenticeships,
there were 3,000 young people in Engineering Manufacturing in England, accounting for 4 per cent. of the total.

Sir Teddy Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the new ranges in Shoeburyness.
[138599]
Dr. Moonie: The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) is continuing to work with SERCO Ltd. to rationalise the new ranges
estate and to introduce new businesses which are able to co-exist with the continuing range activities. For example, the engineering
workshop has been leased to a company which has successfully attracted new engineering work and the main office block will have a
number of new tenants shortly including a catering training establishment. As mentioned in my answer on 20 March 2000, Official
Report, columns 716-17, other possible businesses include an innovative agricultural process for producing fruit and vegetables
which could lead to 1,000 new jobs. DERA and SERCO will continue to work closely with both Southend Borough and Rochford District
Councils on preparing the 10 year development plan for the introduction of new commercial activities on to the site. Public
consultation will be a key feature in taking forward any proposals.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what (a) steps he has taken and (b) funding has been
allocated to promote (i) science engineering and (ii) other science activities to (A) children and (B) the public in each year since
1994. [128277]
Ms Hewitt: There is a great deal of activity led by industrial interests and charities to which the Government's efforts are
complementary. The Government support a range of activities to promote science and engineering to children and the general public.
We also consider that it is important to do more than promote science and engineering, and takes steps to involve the public over
major scientific issues and to increase the opportunities for dialogue. Except for some very specific activities, it is not
practicable to provide accurate total costings of promotional activities or to provide a breakdown for the cost of activities aimed
at children.
My Department's largest investment is through the Science Budget grant-aided activities of the Research Councils, who all have
science promotion as one of their responsibilities. Estimates of expenditure by the Research Councils are given in answer to the
preceding question. The Royal Society also undertakes activities in this area some of which is grant-aided from the Science Budget
at about £1 million per annum, and supports among other things the activities of COPUS.
The Department also administers two main programmes. A general programme administered by the Office of Science and Technology (OST),
provides core funding to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and funds the BA's co-ordination of National
Science Week. It also provides additional support for the COPUS grants scheme, including its projects aimed specifically at
promoting SET for women and ethnic minorities, and funds innovative projects aimed at bringing science to a wider audience through,
for example, drama, art, and the Internet. In order to gain a better understanding of the public's attitudes to science, the OST
also funded last year's `Public Consultation on Developments in the Biosciences', and this year, in partnership with the Wellcome
Trust, has undertaken a survey looking at public attitudes to science in the UK. The OST's budget for these activities in 1994-95
was £1.0 million, and has since risen to an average of £1.25 million per annum.
The second main programme, supported from the Department's Innovation Budget specifically supports engineering and has had several
manifestations since 1994. They include: The Action for Engineering (AfE) Initiative ran from October 1994 to June 1996. AfE brought
together 125 people representing industry, education, the engineering profession and Government to take co-ordinated action to
increase substantially the influence, involvement and achievement of professional engineers for the benefit of British industry. A
total of £820,000 was spent under this programme over the period 1994 to 1999. One of the key outcomes of AfE was the establishment
of the Science Engineering Technology Mathematics Network (SETNET), which has the objective of bringing coherence and co-ordination
to the many schemes and resources aimed at fostering the teaching and learning of engineering related subjects (the sciences,
mathematics, design and technology) in schools. In the period 1996-99, SETNET received funding of half a million pounds. A further
£260,000 has been committed in this financial year to enable SETNET to plan for expansion of its network of SETpoints. The Year of
Engineering Success (YES), which followed AfE in January 1997, was an industry led initiative that received some £520,000 in
Government support. It was aimed at increasing the awareness of the vital contribution of engineering to the nation's success and
prosperity, through an ambitious public participation exercise during the calendar year 1997. The Campaign to Promote Engineering
(CPE) was formally launched in July 1998 following the conclusion of the YES. Funding of up to £425,000 per annum was approved in
February 1999 for an initial three years with an option for a further two years after review.
The various scientific advisory bodies, including those that fall within my Department's responsibilities all see engagement of the
general public as an important part of their activities, and the Chief Scientific Adviser's Guidelines on the use of scientific
advice in policy- making stress the importance of transparency.

Mr. Sarwar: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on the recent Engineering and
Marine Training Authority report entitled "Working in Engineering", with special reference to opportunities in engineering for young
people from ethnic minorities. [127721]
Mr. Wicks: I welcome the report by the Engineering Employers' Federation/Commission for Racial Equality. The recommendations
stemming from the project provide a realistic opportunity for engineering companies to engage the ethnic minority communities in a
more constructive way.
This will require greater commitment and positive action to build more effective links with schools and ethnic minority community
centres. I believe a vital factor in encouraging young people from the ethnic minority community to be engineers is to provide role
models from their own communities. The case studies which have been published should actively encourage entry into the industry.
My Department strongly supports the outcomes and follow-up initiatives from the project and will continue to work closely with all
appropriate parties to ensure that the engineering sector, together with the construction and manufacturing sectors--for
example--attract more young people from the ethnic minority community.
