Mr. Clappison

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many teachers have received computers as a result of his Computers for Teachers initiative. [121252]

Mr. Wills

The deadline for teachers' purchase of computers under this scheme was 30 April 2000. To date, some 15,000 applications for subsidy have been received following purchase of computers by teachers. These are being processed, and more are expected. A final figure will be published later this year.
