Volume 463: debated on Monday 3 September 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what his Department's targets are; what the performance was against each target at the most recent date; which targets have been (a) dropped and (b) amended in the last 24 months; and if he will make a statement. (152278)

With regard to the Spending Review 2004 PSA targets which my Department is responsible for, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 19 July 2007, Official Report, columns 531-32W. Performance against these PSA targets is set out in the former Department for Education and Skills’ 2007 departmental report (CM 7092), Two of my Department's PSA targets have been amended since the 2004 Spending Review: PSA target 1 (children's communication and social and emotional development); and PSA target 2 (the use of formal child care by lower-income families).
