Mr. Luff: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many people (a) entered into and (b) completed
engineering apprenticeships in the West Midlands region in each year since 1997. [218985]
Mr. Ivan Lewis: This is a matter for the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Mark Haysom, the Council's Chief Executive, has written
to the hon. Gentleman with the information requested and a copy of his reply has been placed in the Library.
Letter from Mark Haysom to Mr. Peter Luff, dated 18 March 2005:
I am writing in response to your parliamentary question, relating to engineering apprenticeships in the West Midlands region.
I enclose a table setting out the number of starts and achievements on engineering apprenticeships in the region from 1997-98 to
2003/04. Note that information for the period before the creation of the LSC has been provided by DfES, and may not be completely
consistent with more recent figures.
If you have any queries, please contact Stephen Lilley, Regional Skills Director for the West Midlands, on 0121 345 4644.

Notes on methodology: 1. Learner numbers pre-2001 are taken by DfES from TEC management information. TEC Ml is aggregagated data and
does not contain information on sector. Individual learner data held on the trainee database contains information on sector, but we
know the database did not accurately record the total number of learners. For each year, the percentage of learners studying
engineering apprenticeships in the West Midlands from the trainee database has been applied to the total number of learners in the
West Midlands from the TEC Ml to estimate the volume of learners studying engineering apprenticeships in the West Midlands. The
number of achievements was not collected prior to 2001. 2. Learner numbers and achievements from 2001 onwards are taken from the
individualised learned record (ILR) collected by the LSC. Figures include all apprenticeships in the engineering area of learning.
3. Definitions of `engineering' pre- and post-2001 may not be directly comparable.

Helen Southworth: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps she is taking to increase the number of women
students undertaking (a) further education and (b) higher education in engineering. [223227]
Dr. Howells: The details of our plans to increase women's participation in science and engineering across the education sector are
set out in the Government's `Science and Innovation Investment Framework 2004-2014', published jointly last July by my Department,
DTI and HM Treasury.
The Government's overall ambitions are to achieve a step change in: the quality of science teachers and lecturers in every school,
college and university; the results for students studying science at GCSE level; the numbers choosing SET subjects in post-16
education and in higher education; and the proportion of better qualified students pursuing R and D careers.
