Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many applications there were for each place at medical schools in the last year for which statistics are available; and what the average A level points score was of the successful candidates. [124170] Mr. Stephen Twigg: Figures available are from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and cover applications and acceptances for full-time entrants to first degree courses at UK institutions. Information covering entry in autumn 2002 is in the table. Applicants1 and acceptances to medical schools through UCAS by domicile, 2002 entry _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Applicants Acceptances Home 9,498 6,287 EU 666 142 Other overseas 1,771 530 All domiciles 11,935 6,959 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 In 2002, each applicant could make up to 6 applications of which up to four could be to medical schools. The figures show that there were 1.7 applicants for each medical school place. The UCAS tariff was introduced for 2002 entry and replaced the `A' level points score. The tariff establishes agreed equivalences between different types of qualifications and reports achievement for entry to Higher Education in a numerical format. This allows comparisons between applicants with different types and volumes of achievement. In 2002 the average tariff score relating to solely A level qualifications, for UK domiciled accepted applicants with 2 or more A levels was 405.6 (where an A grade at `A' level is equivalent to 120 points and lower points scores relate to other grades).

[95569] Beverley Hughes: The average time between application and initial decision was seven months for initial decisions made between October 2001 and September 2002. This has been calculated using all cases for which data are available, including older cases decided as part of the reduction of the backlog, as well as new cases.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for asylum were refused in an initial decision in each year since 1997; and how many of these were subsequently allowed on appeal. [93325] Beverley Hughes: The tables show the number of asylum applicants refused in an initial decision in each year from 1997 to 2001 and the number of appeals allowed in each of those years.

Not all initial decisions to refuse an application result in an appeal. It is estimated that around 77 per cent. of refusals of applications made in 2001 resulted in an appeal, and that around a fifth of those appeals were allowed. The appeals allowed figures given in the following table do not necessarily relate to the refusals in the same year.
