§ Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the rates of(a) truancy and (b) school exclusions were in each of the Youth Inclusion Programme areas in (i) 1999, (ii) 2000, (iii) 2001, and (iv) 2002. [102471]
§ Mr. Ivan LewisAggregated data on exclusions and truancy are collected at school and LEA level. Youth Inclusion Programmes involve specific individuals and not whole schools or areas. Limited data have been kept on the individuals involved, which will be published in the programme's evaluation report covering the first three years of operation and will be available on the Youth Justice Board's website from 28 March.
