Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) how many teachers commenced the National Qualifications for Headteachers course in (a) April 2000 and (b) January 2001, broken down by (i) Government Office region, (ii) gender and (iii) ethnic background in each recruitment cycle, from (A) primary, (B) secondary, including middle schools where appropriate, and (C) special schools; and how many in each of (a) and (b) (1) have completed the course, (2) are continuing with the qualification and (3) have withdrawn; [159916] (2) if he will make a statement on the collection and collation of data on the ethnic background of those teachers who start the National Qualification for Headteachers course. [159917] Ms Estelle Morris: The table sets out the number of candidates on the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) who were recruited during the last two application rounds and began their training in the spring term of 2000 (cohort 7, old model NPQH) and the spring term of 2001 (cohort 1, new model NPQH). The figures are broken down into the categories requested by NPQH region. The NPQH regions are similar to but do not precisely mirror Government Office boundaries. The Government collect data on the ethnic background of NPQH applicants through the NPQH application form. Applicants are not bound to provide these data and, as a result, current analysis is not statistically meaningful. The Government are concerned to ensure that all groups have an equal opportunity to prepare for headship and have improved the way that data are collected. They have asked the National College for School Leadership to develop strategies to ensure that currently under- represented groups increasingly apply for and progress through the NPQH.

Mr. Webb: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate the number of men aged 60-64 that made an (a) successful and (b) unsuccessful claim for the (i) 1997-98, (ii) 1998-99 and (iii) 1999- 2000 Winter Fuel Payment. [157053] Mr. Rooker: The administration of benefits is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency, Alexis Cleveland. She will write to the hon. Member. Letter from Alexis Cleveland to Mr. Steve Webb, dated 9 April 2001: The Secretary of State for Social Security has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking if he will estimate the number of men aged 60-64 that made an (a) successful and (b) unsuccessful claim for the 1997/98, 1998/99, 1999/00 winter fuel payment. As of 3 April 2001, 1,046,020 claims for Winter Fuel Payments in respect of retrospective year's 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000 had been processed for males. Information relating solely to men aged 60-64 cannot be provided. The decisions made following the ruling by the European Court of Justice meant that the majority of people newly eligible would be men aged 60-64. However, people over state pension age but who had not received a Winter Fuel Payment before because they were not getting a qualifying benefit were also brought into the scheme. Current records show that we have received over 1 million claims in respect of past winters from men of which around 85,000 were unsuccessful, in the first instance. If a customer feels that the decision on their claim is incorrect they can ask for it to be looked at again. We do not hold statistics on successful claims following such reconsiderations. I hope this is helpful.
