Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of people aged (a) 16, (b) 17 and (c) 18 years living in (i) York and (ii) Yorkshire and the Humber were in (A) full-time education and (B) full-time education, employment or training in 2008-09 and in each year since.
Answered by Matt Hancock
Estimates of the proportion of 16- and 17-year-olds participating in education and work-based learning are published in the “Participation in education, training and employment, age 16 to 18” statistical first release (SFR). This provides estimates at local authority level for full-time education, and the wider measure of education and work-based learning, but information on employment is not available at local level. The local estimates are only available for academic age 16- and 17-year-olds.
The SFR is published online here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/participation-in-education-training-and-employment-age-16-to-18

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what capital funding was allocated by his Department to schools in the City of York in 1995-96 and in each year since.
Answered by David Laws
As York only became a local authority in 1996-97 as a result of local government reorganisation, comparable funding data are available only from this date.
The following table shows capital funding for the financial years that are available.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many nursery places were available in City of York constituency in 1995-96 and in each year since.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
I have asked Ofsted to respond using the data they hold on registered nursery places. The Ofsted Director for the Early Years, and North-East, Yorkshire and the Humber, Nick Hudson, will write to the Hon. Gentleman, and a copy of his response will be placed in the House Libraries. Some providers such as schools with nursery provision for children aged three or over are exempt from registration. The number of places therefore may not include the full range of early years provision available in the area.
The Department for Education's Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on all registered childcare places, including those in maintained schools and nurseries. These figures are therefore more comprehensive than the Ofsted figures; however data is only available at a national and regional level, and in this case only for the North East, Yorkshire and Humberside combined.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the revenue spending was for each (a) primary and (b) secondary pupil in York Unitary Authority area in each year since 2008-09 and in each year since.
Answered by David Laws
The available information on expenditure in maintained primary and secondary schools in York local authority is shown in the table below. Local authority maintained schools receive their funding from their local authority, who control how this is apportioned. To provide data for further years would incur disproportionate cost.

2. School expenditure data is provided by local authority maintained schools only. It does not contain data on academies. Therefore the income and expenditure figures are affected by the numbers of schools converting to academy status. In particular this affects the figures for secondary schools and makes year on year comparisons difficult. | ||||||||
3. Cash terms figures as reported by schools. | ||||||||
4. Per pupil figures are based on pupils and income and expenditure in schools that were open for the full financial year. | ||||||||
5. Total expenditure is the sum of the following four categories; teaching staff, education support staff, other employee costs and running expenses (E01 to E32 excluding code E30). | ||||||||
6. Income generated by schools (rather than the funding received through central Government and local authorities) covers CFR codes I07 to I13 plus I17 which includes, for example, income generated from facilities, services, catering, parental contributions towards school visits and donations. It also includes receipts from insurance claims. | ||||||||
