The following table details the latest information on the number of new applications received by the awarding authorities. The information has been supplied to my Department by the local authorities and the Vocational Education Committees.

Information in relation to the number of new applications processed, awarded and paid is not yet available. This information has been requested from the awarding authorities and will be forwarded to the Deputies when it has been received.
