Mr. Butler : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received about the provision of special education in Cheshire.
Mr. Butcher : My right hon. Friend has seen the petition which my hon. Friend submitted to him earlier this month concerning special education provision in Cheshire and in particular the LEA's arrangements for individual tuition.
The Department is currently making inquiries of the Cheshire LEA and I shall send a full reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
Mr. McFall : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of mathematics and science teachers in (a) Surrey and (b) England are not trained in the subjects they teach.
Mr. Butcher : Estimates of the numbers of teachers of mathematics and science without a qualification in these subjects, and of the amount of tuition they provide, can be derived from the 1988 secondary school staffing survey of maintained schools in England. The figures are as follows :
|Percentage of teachers |Percentage of all tuition |teaching the subject who |in the subject provided |do not have a post |by teachers without a |A-level qualification in |post A-level |it |qualification in it |Per cent. |Per cent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mathematics |27 |13 Biology |18 |9 Chemistry |20 |10 Physics |31 |19 General science<1> |17 (71) |11 (67) Other sciences<1> |23 (69) |16 (55) <1> Figures exclude teachers (and tuition by teachers) with a post A-level qualification specifically in biology, chemistry or physics as well as those with general or other science qualifications. The bracketed figures show the result if this exclusion is not made.
No information is available in respect of Surrey--the survey sample is too small to permit reliable estimates for individual education authorities.
Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many city technology colleges are presently operating within the United Kingdom ; and which are clearly scheduled to open in September 1989 and September 1990.
Mr. Butcher : Kingshurst CTC opened in September 1988, Nottingham and Teesside will open this September,
Column 606
and Dartford, Bradford, Gateshead and the London school for performing arts and technology will open in September 1990.Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much capital money has been identified for development of city technology colleges between their inception and the year 2000.
Mr. Butcher : A total of £13.3 million has been incurred on city technology college capital expenditure between the inception of the programme and the end of the 1988-89 financial year.
Planned public expenditure to 1991-92, as published in Cmnd. 612, is £106.6 million. The balance of expenditure between capital and recurrent costs will depend on a number of factors, including the nature and condition of premises acquired and the speed at which sponsors' plans are implemented.
Plans for future years have yet to be considered.
Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much capital money has been provided by the Government to those city technology colleges in existence or scheduled to open shortly.
Mr. Butcher : Capital grants made to city technology colleges open or scheduled to open are as follows :
|£ million ------------------------------- Kingshurst |3.53 Nottingham |5.94 Teesside |3.34 Gateshead |0.30 Bradford |0.63 Dartford |0.24
Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) how the running costs of city technology colleges will be met ; and what the anticipated source or sources of the revenue funding will be ;
(2) whether the running costs of a city technology college will be broadly comparable with similar costs associated with maintained schools.
Mr. Butcher : All normal running costs will be met through our recurrent grant to city technology colleges. The basis of this grant will be expenditure by local education authorities on maintained schools in similar areas. It will be open to city technology colleges, as it is to all schools, to raise additional funds from other sources.
Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how the travel expenses of children who live over 3 miles away from a city technology college will be met ; and how the costs of uniform grants and other similar benefits will be met.
Mr. Butcher : Our recurrent grant to city technology colleges will be comparable to expenditure by local education authorities on schools in similar areas, including expenditure on home to school transport and on pupil support generally. It will be for the city technology college to decide how to meet these costs in specific cases.
Ms. Harman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what firms or other commercial interests have so far agreed to sponsor an entire city technology college and what are the names of these firms or other commercial interests.
Column 607
Mr. Butcher : None has been asked to do so. The capital costs of all CTCs will be shared between the Government and private sector sponsors and thereafter normal running costs will be met by annual grant from my right hon. Friend. Sponsors have already pledged £36 million towards the establishment of CTCs across the country--an unprecedented response to an education initiative.
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how long the period of consultations with parents and governors prior to the decision by the governing body to submit an application to become a city technology college was at (a) Sylvan high school, (b) Haberdashers Aske's schools, Hatcham and (c) Riverside school.
Mr. Butcher : Consultations on the future of the Sylvan high school, which is a county school, were undertaken by Croydon education authority ; and the authority subsequently published proposals under section 12 of the Education Act 1980 to cease to maintain the school, so that a CTC might be established in its place. In the case of Riverside, also a county school, consultations were held on its future, but Bexley education authority subsequently decided against publishing section 12 proposals. The period for consultation was approximately three months and two months respectively. Our expectations on what public consultations should take place in these circumstances were set out in circular 3/87.
The Haberdashers' Aske's are voluntary schools and I understand that the governors are considering seeking our leave to give notice of their discontinuation under the provisions of section 14 of the Education Act 1944. That section carries no requirement for public consultations to take place. Nevertheless, we have made clear in my right hon. Friend's statements on 28 July 1988 and 23 January this year that in considering any application for leave under section 14, where the intention is to establish a CTC, we expect that there shall have been prior public consultations.
Mr. Stern : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many representations he has received on the subject of charges for school trips.
Mr. Butcher : My right hon. Friend has received 540 letters on the subject of charges for school trips since the issue of the Department's draft circular of guidance in October 1988.
Ms. Richardson : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what steps he has taken to establish a working group to develop serious incidents reporting systems in response to recommendation 132.1 of the Elton report of the committee of inquiry into discipline in schools ;
(2) what steps he intends to take to clarify the legal basis of a teacher's authority over pupils in response to paragraph 73 of the Elton report on discipline in schools.
Mr. Butcher : My right hon. Friend announced on 13 March immediate Government action to follow up recommendations in the report of the committee of inquiry into discipline in schools. He is considering the
Column 608
recommendation on the legal basis of a teacher's authority and the recommendation, which was also directed to local education authorities, that a working group on serious incidents reporting systems be established.Dr. Hampson : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the average unit of funding for a university student assumed to be in the 1988-89 University Grants Committee settlement ; by what percentage this assumed average unit was increased in real terms in the 1989-90 UFC settlement ; and what assumptions were made for inflation in this increase.
Mr. Jackson : The public funding of universities is not determined on the basis of unit costs. The forecast level of inflation at the time of last year's Autumn Statement was five per cent. Including the additional funding for 1989 pay settlements, overall funding will increase by eight per cent. between 1988-89 and 1989-90. Student numbers are expected to increase by three per cent.
Mr. Andrew Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the official engagements undertaken by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State with responsibility for higher education since the beginning of May.

Dr. Twinn : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether there are any changes to the cash limits for his Department's votes.
Mr. Kenneth Baker : Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limits for the following votes will be revised as follows :
Column 609
Vote |Current cash limit|Change |Revised Cash limit |£ |£ |£ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class XII Vote 1 |493,133,000 |+1,003,000 |494,136,000 Class XII Vote 2 |3,101,271,000 |+22,490,000 |3,123,761,000 Class XII Vote 5 |824,368,000 |-8,493,000 |815,875,000 Additional provision is sought as follows: (a) £25 million to make annual maintenance grants for expenditure on staff salaries and other running costs for schools which I have approved as grant maintained from September 1989 and from January 1990. This increase will be fully offset by recoupment, under section 81 of the Education Reform Act 1988, from the local authorities formerly maintaining the schools. (b) £1,003,000 for the professional, industrial and commercial updating programme to enable the selective funding of PICKUP activities in local authority colleges to proceed. (c) £23,493,000 towards the increased cost to universities, the Open university, the Royal college of art and the Cranfield institute of technology of employing non-clinical academic staff.
Provision for grant-in-aid to the Natural Environment Research Council is reduced by £8,493,000 because expenditure on the construction of a new research vessel for the British Antarctic Survey has been deferred to 1990- 91.
The net increase of £15,000,000 will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
Mr. Baldry : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report a list of those people appointed by him to be independent members of the boards of governors of higher education corporations.
Mr. Kenneth Baker : I have today published in the Official Report a list of the people I appointed as independent members of the boards of governors of the higher education corporations.
I was impressed by the high calibre of many of the candidates who were willing to put themselves forward for appointment as governors. It is heartening to see that so many able people from a wide variety of fields want to be associated with these higher education institutions. Governors have been drawn from across the spectrum of industry and commerce, from major companies to individual entrepreneurs and from all the professions. This will help to give the new sector the best possible start.

Mr. Sillars : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures showing for each of the past 15 years United Kingdom growth rates, the growth rate of each of the United Kingdom's partners in the European Commission, and world growth rates, respectively.
Mr. Lilley : Figures for United Kingdom GDP can be found in the United Kingdom National Accounts Blue Book and in the Financial Statement and Budget Report. For EC countries growth rates for the years 1974 to 1987 can be found in the latest OECD Economic Outlook. Provisional figures for 1988 are given in OECD Main Economic Indicators, published monthly. Figures for world growth are given in the International Financial Statistics Yearbook and in the latest World Economic Outlook, both published by the IMF. All these publications can be obtained from the Library of the House.
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress he has made on the introduction of a fast lane clearance system for European Economic Community goods.
Mr. Lilley : Customs and Excise is developing two fast lane schemes as interim measures to speed up the clearance of freight in the period leading to completion of the single market. They depend on the use of computer systems to facilitate rapid clearance and to simplify requirements for most kinds of goods imported from the Community. The first scheme is planned to start nationally on 1 August 1989, from which date the Customs computer will be able to grant immediate clearance to the majority of Community goods upon arrival. The necessary paper documentation will be processed after clearance of the goods. The fast lane facility will not, however, remove the need for essential preventive checks in the case of drugs and other prohibited or restricted goods.
The second scheme will also allow immediate clearance for the same kinds of goods but the detailed information will be provided by importers later in the form of schedules transmitted to Customs electronically. This system will
Column 629
make use of recent developments in technology and will be used this winter on a trial basis before becoming generally available next year.In consultation with the trading community Customs and Excise is also reviewing export procedures to see whether there is further scope for simplification in order to speed exports to other member states in the Community.
Mr. Jack : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what rate of premium savings bond sales in January were in denominations of less than £100.
Mr. Lilley : The number of premium bonds sold in January 1989 in denominations of less than £100 was 172,000. These bonds accounted for only about 12 per cent. of the total value.
Mr. Hind : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has any plans to change the 1989-90 cash limit and running costs limit for the Government Actuary's Department.
Mr. Lilley : Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate the cash limit for class XIX, vote 4 will be increased by £25,000 from £548,000 to £573,000, and the running costs limit by £178,000 from £2,510,000 to £2,688,000, to provide for recently implemented pay increases for actuarial staff, and the completion of the conversion of a major pension programme to in-house microcomputers. The increase in the cash limit will be charged to the Reserve and will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure.
Mr. David Davis : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received about the provisions in the Finance Bill concerning close investment-holding companies.
Mr. Norman Lamont : We have received a number of representations. The purpose of the provisions concerning close investment-holding companies is to enable the highly complex and lengthy legislation about close company apportionment to be abolished while preventing the avoidance of tax on investment income and capital gains by an individual placing personal investments in a closely controlled investment company. There is general agreement on these objectives. The approach of the provisions in the Finance Bill is to tax CICs like individuals, so far as possible. However, although there have been some misunderstandings of the effect of the provisions, we are persuaded that this approach has its own difficulties and could place some close companies at a competitive disadvantage in comparison with non-close competitors. This was not the intention. We therefore propose to bring forward amendments.
We have no doubt that the right approach remains to abolish apportionment and replace it by an appropriate tax charge on the company. We now propose that CICs will continue to be taxed like other companies, with the normal reliefs for interest and expenses. But, whatever the
Column 630
level of their profits, they will no longer receive the benefit of the small companies rate and so will be taxed at 35 per cent. This approach will result in rules that are simpler than both the old apportionment provisions and the provisions in the Bill. And it will protect the Exchequer since under existing law there is a further tax charge if an investor withdraws accumulated profits from a company or sells his or her shares.We also propose to amend the definition of a CIC. No trading company (including a dealing company) will be a CIC. The existing apportionment provisions recognise that property investment companies may need to retain income for the purposes of the business and in practice these companies are little affected by apportionment--so these too will not be CICs. These changes will give a more simpler regime for taxing CICs, while guarding against tax avoidance. An Inland Revenue press release is being issued today giving further details of the proposals. The necessary amendments for the Committee stage of the Finance Bill will be put down as soon as possible.
Mr. Patrick Thompson : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the financial provision will be in 1989-90 for the enlarged Central Statistical Office.
Mr. Lawson : A new Estimate (class XIX, vote 18) will be presented to Parliament, in the summer Supplementary Estimate round, to provide for expenditure by the new department from 31 July 1989. The provision sought will be offset by corresponding reductions shown in Revised Estimates for the Cabinet Office (class XX, vote 2), of £2, 764,000, the Department of Trade and Industry (class V, vote 3), of £8,533,000, and the Department of Employment (class VII, vote 2), of £2,430,000 (which is part of the overall reduction on that vote), which will be presented to Parliament on the same day. It will not therefore add to the planned total of public expenditure. The cash limit for the new Central Statistical Office vote is £13,727,000 and the running costs limit is £10,804,000.
