Mrs. Brinton: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the wards in (a) Peterborough and (b) Cambridge ranked by average earnings. [109533] Miss Melanie Johnson: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Director of the Office for National Statistics. I have asked him to reply. Letter from John Kidgell to Mrs. Helen Brinton, dated 14 February 2000: The Director of the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has been asked to reply to your parliamentary question regarding the average earnings of the wards in Peterborough and Cambridge. I am replying in Dr Holt's absence. The New Earnings Survey (NES) can only provide ward level earnings data based on where people work, rather than where they live. Additionally we can only provide data where we have a sufficiently large sample of employees, and have an acceptable level of accuracy. I have provided the only available data in the table below. These are based on the 1999 NES, the latest survey for which data are available. New earnings survey, April 1999 (GB) _________________________________________________________________________________________________. All full-time employees Average (£) Cambridge -- Trumpington 407.8 Newnham 377.4 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Notes: Employees on adult rates, whose pay for the survey period was unaffected by absence. Gross weekly earnings (including overtime). The NES is based on a one per cent sample of employees in the PAYE system and is therefore likely to under-represent relatively low paid staff earning below the tax threshold and in particular those who work part-time.

Mrs. Brinton: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what percentage of school leavers went into (a) further education and (b) vocational training, and what percentage of each group went on to higher education in (i) Cambridge, (ii) Peterborough and (iii) Cambridgeshire in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available. [109537] Mr. Wicks: We are committed to a step change in participation and attainment rates for all 16 and 17-year-olds. The Learning and Skills Bill sets out reforms in post-16 education and training which we believe will make a significant impact. We have recently announced details of our new coherent and comprehensive advice, guidance, information and support service for all 13 to 19-year-olds, whatever their needs and circumstances--the Connexions Service. The table shows for those years for which data are available the proportion of 16-year-olds entering FE in Cambridgeshire LEA, and entering FE and Government Supported vocational training in Greater Peterborough TEC. Data on school leavers destinations for Cambridge and Peterborough, or on the proportion leaving FE or Government Supported vocational training for HE, are not available.
