[132208] Mr. Bradshaw: We do not hold milk price information for specific areas of the UK.

Notes: Average prices estimates include prices of delivered milk and shop bought milk. However, 80 per cent. price range includes only shop bought milk.

However, the 80 per cent. price range (which is the range of prices with the top 10 per cent. and the bottom 10 per cent. excluded) only includes shop bought milk. Source: National Statistics

This information is at health authority level between 1998 and 2002 and primary care trust (PCT) level for 2002 and 2003.

[119389] Mr. Stephen Twigg: The Department only holds participation rates broken down by social class at national level. The available information relates to the Age Participation Index (API) by social class. The API calculates the proportion of UK domiciled students who enter full-time HE by the age of 20 and is expressed as a percentage of the averaged 18-19 year old population. The most recent information, for 2001/02 is in the table.
