To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils have been excluded by(a) constituency and (b) local education authority in each year since 1991. [16966]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

[holding answer 22 November 2001]: The available information on permanent exclusions by local education authority area has been placed in the House of Commons Library.

Information on permanent exclusions at Parliamentary Constituency level could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The latest permanent exclusions data were published in a Statistical Bulletin "Permanent Exclusions from Maintained Schools, England 1999/2000" on 16 November, copies of which are available from the Library, or alternatively can be accessed from the Department for Education and Skills statistical website www.dfes.gsi.gov.uk/statistics

1 Unit funding is based on HEFCE/TTA recurrent grant and plus tuition fees, divided by the number of full time equivalent students. It excludes capital, funding for widening access and all student support.
2 This includes capital to 1997 which was included in the unit funding calculation, and earmarked capital from 1999–2000 which is excluded from the unit cost calculation. It includes funding via HEFCE for research infrastructure, but excludes the funding for research amounting to around over £1 billion from JIF/SRIF.
3 Resource costs of student loans including hardship loans.
4 Also includes British Academy and DFES HE Innovations Fund. Outturn figures drop after 1997–98 due to the change from the "old" grant based system of student support to the current loan based system.
5 Figures are rounded to nearest £10.
