§ Mr. BoswellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list for each local education authority(a) the amounts spent and (b) the 33W full-time equivalent numbers directly employed in the Youth Service in each of the last three years, together with a projection of the proportion of that (i) expenditure and (ii) staff to be transferred to the Connexions Service. [137032]
§ Mr. Wicks[holding answer 7 November 2000]: The table gives the information requested in respect of the amounts spent for each local education authority in the Youth Service for the last three years. The figures are drawn from the local authority returns (R01) for 1996–97, 1997–98 and 1998–99, which is the latest year available. The three years prior to 1996–97 are included to indicate how spending is recovering from cuts in services in 1995–96.
My Department does not collate the numbers employed by local authorities within their Youth Services. The 1998 audit of England's Local Authority Youth Services,

Details of the Youth Service resources that will contribute to the delivery of the Connexions Service are not yet available. We have asked the Connexions Partnerships introducing the service in 2001–02 to identify the Youth Service resources that local authorities in their areas propose to bring within the Connexions Service framework. This information will be set out in the business and delivery plans that Partnerships will be submitting at the beginning of 2001. The Connexions Service Business Planning Guidance indicates our expectation that local authorities will wish to contribute a significant proportion of their Youth Service provision to the delivery of the Connexions Service. This may include, for example, incorporating youth workers within the multi-disciplinary teams of personal advisers created at local level.
