HC Deb 11 July 2002 vol 388 c1178W
Norman Lamb

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many training places have been allocated in each county in England under the Graduate Teacher Programme in (a) this school year and (b) next school year. [68931]

Mr. Miliband

The information is not available in the form requested. The table shows total numbers of Graduate Teacher Programme places awarded in 2001-02 by Government office region and the numbers of places for 2002-03 that have been awarded to date. Figures for 2002-03 do not therefore include approximately 600 places that have still to be allocated.

Number of places
Government office region 2001–02 2002–03
London 552 551
South East 555 531
South West 174 212
North West 314 236
North East 99 65
Eastern 745 549
Yorkshire and Humberside 161 131
West Midlands 327 267
East Midlands 289 245
Total 3,216 2,787
