collection and publication of small area statistics. They have been designed to provide an improved basis for comparison across the

Dr. Howells: The Roberts' Review, SET for Success (2002) investigated in detail the supply of people with science, technology,
engineering and mathematics skills including researchers. The Government are implementing the recommendations of this review, which
includes: funding transferable skills training for Research Council-supported PhD students and postdoctoral researchers; increasing
the minimum PhD stipend to £12,000 by 2005-06; raising the average for postdoctoral salaries by £4,000 between 2002 and 2005; and
the development of the academic fellowship scheme, which guarantees permanent employment on successful completion. The recently
formed Research Careers Committee, chaired by Sir Gareth Roberts will monitor trends, share and promote good practice and review the
Concordat for research staff, originally signed in 1996.

Dr. Iddon: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will make a statement on the changes in the numbers of
students taking up science courses at (a) university and (b) A level in the last 10 years; and what steps the
Government are taking to increase the number of students studying science. [198931]
Dr. Howells: The Government's "Science and Innovation Investment Framework 2004-2014", published in July sets out very clearly the
challenge we face in securing an increase in the number of students taking A levels and enrolling on undergraduate science courses.
The Framework builds on and takes forward progress made in response to earlier reviews of this subject, most notably the review
carried out by Sir Gareth Roberts in 2002 and published as "SET for Success". Compared with 10 years ago, the proportion of A level
and undergraduate students taking science courses has decreased (5.8 per cent. between 1994 and 2004 for A level entries in
England; 6.7 per cent. between 1992 and 2002 for undergraduates enrolled in higher education institutions in Great Britain).
The Framework sets out a raft of measures to ensure that every stage of the education system, from primary schools to universities,
can play its part in producing the excellent supply of highly skilled scientists and engineers which we need for the economy.
