Mrs. Virginia Bottomley: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what information he has collated about the academic achievements and funding per student at (a) Farnham College and (b) Godalming College in the last year for which figures are available; and what the corresponding average figures are for (i) Surrey, (ii) England and (iii) the UK. [150301] Mr. Wicks: The achievement rates for further education colleges in England are contained in the table: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Achievement rate 1998-99 (percentage) Farnham College 93 Godalming College 93 All sixth form colleges in England{1} 86 All colleges in Surrey 66 All colleges in England 76 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} Farnham and Godalming Colleges are both sixth form colleges, therefore this achievement figure offers a more valid comparison The level of funding of students by Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) is determined by a tariff system which provides a number of "units" of funding for various aspects of the course and student. Most "units" are for the length and type of course; others cover achievement, entry and additional support, for example. The average level of funding (or ALF) per unit varies between colleges, mostly for historical reasons but is converging by deliberate council policy. The ALF (1998-99) for Godalming College is £16.91 and for Farnham College is £17.75. This methodology will continue for the first year following the inception of the LSC. Following that, a revised system will be introduced which will simplify the FEFC system but maintain separate elements for course length and type and for achievement. Under the current methodology, funding per full time equivalent (FTE) student will depend on type of courses, level of achievement, mode of attendance and other factors. The following figures on funding per FTE are affected by the factors as well as average level of funding per unit. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Student numbers (1998-99) Funding (1998-99) Council funded Non-council funded Council funded full Total FEFC funding Funding per FTE (£) time equivalents (£ million) (FTE){ 1} Farnham College 921 -- 575 1.8 3,200 Godalming College 1,962 77 1,695 3.9 2,323 All FE institutions in 44,224 8,055 18,561 55.3 2,979 Surrey (excluding HEI) All FE institutions in 3,318,100 765,500 957,102 2,932.5 3,064 England (excluded HEI) _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} Full time equivalents (FTEs)--for the purpose of this exercise, a full time student is defined as one who studies at the college for 655 hours. College FTEs are calculated by dividing total student hours by 655. This allows for a more standardised comparison in terms of funding per FTE student.

Mr. Peter Ainsworth: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) what steps he is taking to ensure cooperation between the public and private sectors in reacting to flood damage to major roads; [144842] (2) what his powers are in relation to the combating of prolonged flooding of major roads; [144841] (3) what role has been played by the Environment Agency in connection with the recent flooding of the A22 in Whyteleafe; [144843] (4) what action he has taken over the recent flooding of the A22 at Whyteleafe; and if he will make a statement. [144844] Mr. Hill: [holding answer 11 January 2001]: The A22 at Whyteleafe is a local road for which Surrey county council is the highway authority. As the highway authority, the county council are responsible for the maintenance of the road, including dealing with any flooding problem. The Secretary of State does not have powers under the Highways Act 1980 to direct a local highway authority in the discharge of its maintenance duties under the Act. The flooding of the A22 at Whyteleafe was caused by a periodic flow of the Bourne due to the rising groundwater levels in the chalk aquifer as a result of the heavy autumn rainfall. The Bourne is normally a dry watercourse and records show it has flowed on only three occasions in the past 20 years. On this occasion the water was prevented from draining away as a result of blockages downstream of the A22. The water backed up to form a lake that covered the road which was closed for safety reasons on police advice. Alternative diversion routes were set up by Surrey county council and the London borough of Croydon. To deal with the A22 flooding the Surrey county council and Tandridge district council set up a pumping arrangement to bypass the blockages and take away the excess Bourne water. This was not a straightforward operation and factors such as the need to protect the Kenley water works had to be considered. The pumping operation was successful and the road re-opened to traffic on 8 January. A hydrogeologist from the Environment Agency visited the site of the flooding on 20 December and has liaised with officials of Tandridge district council. The Bourne watercourse is not a "Main River" and is therefore the responsibility of the riparian landowners. Tandridge district council and Surrey county council staff have been working to remove the blockages from the course of the Bourne and Tandridge district council have taken the lead in bringing together key organisations to minimise the risk of a repetition of the local flooding. The Environment Agency have provided advice to some individuals who contacted them about the flooding of their properties. In response to the countrywide flooding problems experienced as a result of the heavy autumn rainfall the Government have established a Floods Task Force, chaired by the MAFF Minister for Fisheries and the Countryside, which draws together all relevant departments and aims to ensure effective co-ordination of central Government's support for communities recovering from the effects of flooding. The Task Force will share examples of good practice.

[142992] Mr. Denham: The information requested is given in the table. Percentage _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Source: QF01 quarterly waiting times return/monthly waiting times return We are committed to reducing waiting times for outpatient appointments and inpatient treatment. We addressed this in the National Health Service Plan announced in July where we pledged that, by the end of 2005, the maximum inpatient waiting time will be cut from 18 months now to six months and the maximum outpatient waiting time will be cut from over six months now to three months. Provided we can recruit the extra staff, and the NHS makes the necessary reforms, our eventual objective is to reduce the maximum wait for any stage of treatment to three months by the end of 2008.
