To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what his most recent estimate is of the number of young people under the age of 24 years who are not in employment, education or training in (a) Vale of York constituency, (b) North Yorkshire and (c) England. (294568)

Table 1 shows the number and percentage of people aged 16 to 24 not in education, employment or training in England and the local education area (LEA) of North Yorkshire and City of York in 2008. These estimates are from the Annual Population Survey (2008).

Due to small sample sizes, estimates cannot be provided for areas smaller than LEAs. Please note that these estimates are subject to sampling variability and should be viewed in conjunction with their confidence intervals (CIs), which indicate how accurate an estimate is. Confidence intervals have been provided in table 1.

Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
