were detained, (3) refused leave to enter and granted temporary admission and (4) granted temporary admission pending a decision ; (3) what information on persons seeking asylum in the United Kingdom is made available to Governments and agencies of (a) countries within the European Economic Community and (b) other countries ; and if he will make a statement ;(4) what information on persons or groups of persons seeking (a) leave to enter the United Kingdom and (b) asylum in the United Kingdom is made available to Governments within the Trevi group ; and if he will make a statement ;
(5) what information is held on immediate action taken on persons seeking asylum within the United Kingdom ; and to whom it is made available.
Column 19
Mr. Renton : Some information on applications for asylum is collected at Heathrow, Gatwick and Dover for inclusion in a weekly return providing management information for internal use. I will write to the hon. Member giving the numbers and nationalities of persons arriving at these ports and claiming asylum in each week in 1988.
The limited information on outcomes of cases contained in the weekly returns is accurate only for the time at which the returns are compiled. It is not updated to take account of subsequent action and is not aggregated, since it would not give a meaningful picture. Information from the weekly returns is not made available systematically to any other Government or agency.
Comprehensive published statistics on asylum applications and on outcomes are derived from the refugee index computer which is maintained centrally and includes details of all asylum applications made at ports, from within the United Kingdom and from abroad ; however, full details of detention, temporary admission and removals are held only on individual files.
In advance of the published statistics, provisional information on applications received and decisions taken is made available quarterly to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. These returns are produced from the refugee index. Copies are placed in the Library. Similar information is given quarterly to the European Community working group on immigration. Information is not sent to Governments within the Trevi group as such or to other countries or agencies.
Mr. Darling : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list for each week in 1988 the number of passengers and of which country they were nationals arriving and claiming United Kingdom citizenship and who were refused entry or who were requested to submit to further examination at (a) Heathrow, (b) Gatwick and (c) Dover, in each case showing the action taken in respect of the passengers.
Mr. Renton : Information in the form requested has not been collected centrally since September 1988. Between 1 January and 3 September 1988, a total of 129 passengers claiming British citizenship on arrival were either refused entry or were required to submit to further examination.
Catholic Marriage Advisory Council
Mrs. Ann Winterton : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what Government funds are currently allocated to the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council ; and upon what conditions those funds are made available.
Mr. John Patten : Home Office grant in aid to the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council in 1988-89 is £121,910. One condition of the grant in aid is that it be used in support of the headquarters unit of the organisation in order to encourage voluntary work. The other conditions are standard for Government grants and seek to ensure probity and the effective, efficient and economic use of resources.
Marion Gaima
Mr. Wallace : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he received with regard to the case of Marion Gaima ; and how many replies or acknowledgements were sent.
Column 20
Mr. Renton : Just over 1,000 letters, plus a small number of petitions, have been received about this case. Replies have been sent to 85 Members of Parliament, Members of the House of Lords, and Members of the European Parliament ; two letters from Members of Parliament, which were received recently, have not yet received replies. Some of the correspondence from members of the public registering support for Miss Gaima did not call for a specific reply. One hundred and fifty-three acknowledgements and 131 replies to other official correspondence have been sent so far. We hope to reach a decision on the case shortly, and at that stage replies will be sent to the remaining letters as necessary.
Broadcasting (Deaf and Hard of Hearing People)
Mr. Wallace : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether he has received any representations on the White Paper, "Broadcasting in the '90s", regarding the provision of broadcasting services to Scottish viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) what discussions have taken place between Her Majesty's Government and representatives of deaf and hard of hearing people with regard to the White Paper, "Broadcasting in the '90s" ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Renton : We have received a number of representations in connection with our broadcasting proposals from hon. Members on behalf of constituents who are deaf or hard of hearing. Careful account will be taken of these comments and we would welcome any further comments during the consultation period which ends on 28 February.
London Fire Brigade
Mr. Evennett : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has regarding the steps taken by the London fire brigade to implement recommendations 30 and 31 of the Fennell report.
Mr. John Patten : I am informed by London fire brigade that it has reviewed and strengthened its instructions and training arrangements for command and control on the fireground at both junior and senior officer level. The brigade has also completed its review of protective clothing. As a result, a new fire tunic is currently being introduced ; provision of the new tunic should be completed by the end of June. In addition, new improved gloves are being purchased, the delivery of which is expected before the end of March.
Mr. Abdullah Hassan Yousef
Mr. Parry : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he proposes to take in the case of Mr. Abdullah Hassan Yousef following the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Mr. Berrehab.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY
International Organisations
Mr. Galbraith : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list those international organisations on which his Department is represented and the total cost of these commitments.
Mr. Alan Clark : The Department is represented on a large number of international organisations and associated committees, and no central register of such bodies is maintained. Some of these give rise to identifiable membership costs, and the forecast total for these membership costs for 1988-89 is some £9 million. Nearly half of this total arises from membership of two organisations : these are the International Telecommunications Union and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
Column 23
Freight Forwarders
Mr. Ashby : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many foreign-controlled freight forwarders were being used in 1988 by all Government Departments ; and how many British ones were used.
Mr. Atkins : This information is not held centrally. My Department does not have co-ordinated arrangements for employing freight forwarders and is not a substantial user of their services.
Post Offices
Mr. Kirkwood : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list in the Official Report (a) the main post offices and (b) the sub- post offices in the Hambleton and Richmondshire areas, and in North Yorkshire as a whole in the latest year for which figures are available ; and which have opened or closed since 1979.
Mr. Forth : I have consulted the Post Office, which has supplied the following information. There are currently 18 main and sub-post offices in the Hambleton and Richmondshire areas, and 527 in North Yorkshire as a whole. There has been no change in the provision of main post offices in these areas since 1979. During the same period, two sub-offices have opened in North Yorkshire and 38 have closed. These sub-offices are as follows :
