Sir Sydney Chapman: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what criteria were used to allocate funding to the London boroughs for
initiatives to tackle homelessness in 2005-06. [215495]
Yvette Cooper: The 2005-06 homelessness grant allocations to London boroughs were based on a review of the 2003-04 and 2004-05
grants. The 2004-05 grants were composed of two elements. The first element allocated to all authorities was formula based
reflecting historical levels of homelessness. The second element was awarded following a competitive bidding process open to all
authorities.
The evaluation criteria to decide the 2005-06 allocations were: historical levels of homelessness; how well they performed using
homelessness grant in 2003-04 particularly in delivering on the rough sleeping and bed and breakfast targets; their delivery of the
outcomes required as part of the 2004-05 grant through the implementation of their homelessness strategy and the value for money
achieved; and their ongoing adherence to other conditions of grant set out in the grant determination regarding submission of
quarterly performance monitoring reports and PIE returns.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister will also be making some capital grant allocations to some London boroughs as part of a
hostels capital improvement project. These grants have been targeted on areas that have succeeded in reducing rough sleeping, but
still have a high level of single homelessness in hostels that are often no longer fit for purpose.

Keith Hill: Data on the number of dwellings within planning permissions granted by local authorities are not held centrally and
could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Housing delivery is, however, monitored by returns on housing completions from
local authorities to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and to the Regional Planning Bodies.

Sir Sydney Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many local transport authorities in the Thames Gateway outside
Greater London have reported on the six core accessibility indicators as part of their local transport plan. [214654]
Charlotte Atkins: Guidance issued to local transport authorities in December 2004 on the next round of local transport plans (LTPs)
includes the requirement that authorities set at least one target relating to accessibility, based on one of the six core
indicators, a local accessibility indicator or both. This is a new requirement following the recent development of accessibility
planning guidance.
Provisional LTPs including this requirement are not due to be submitted until July 2005, with the final LTPS to be completed by
March 2006.

between schools and colleges in the London borough of Barnet. [203994]
Dr. Howells :[holding answer 13 December 2004]: For the academic year 2003/04, base funding rates per qualification increased
by 3 per cent. for school sixth forms and by 4.5 per cent. for further education colleges on a broadly comparable
basis. In 2004/05, funding rates for colleges meeting their targets increased by 5 per cent., while those for school sixth
forms rose by 4 per cent. We expect to see this trend continue in the 2005/06 academic year.

Mr. Ivan Lewis: Since the start of the academic year, as of 30 November 2004, 751 young people in the Barnet local authority
area have received payments under the national EMA scheme. The number is increasing at a steady rate and we expect it to continue to
do so. In 2004/05 across England we expect the number of 16 to 18 year olds participating in education to increase by 35,000 (3.8
percentage points) as a direct result of EMA. By 2006/07, when EMA is available to all eligible 16 to 18 year olds, an additional
72,000 young people will be in further education.

Mr. Ivan Lewis: This is a matter for the Learning and Skills Council. Mark Haysom, the Council's Chief Executive, will write to my
hon. Friend with this information and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Library. The Government's Skills Strategy, 21st
Century Skills: Realising Our Potential (July 2003), set out its plans for increasing opportunities for adults to develop their
skills. In addition, the Chancellor's Pre-Budget Report last week announced the extension of our Employer Training Pilots to all
areas from 2006/07 and a New Deal for Skills to help the unemployed secure the training they need for sustainable employment.

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The Department has not commissioned any research specifically to investigate the willingness of employers to pay for
training. However, the Learning and Training At Work Survey in 2000 researched how much employers do pay for training and the 2002
report "The Nature of Training and Motivation to Train in Small Firms" by John Kitching and Robert Blackburn contains a section on
the barriers to training (including financial barriers). Both reports are in the House of Commons Library.
