Primary Schools
Mr. McGrady : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) what discussions have taken place about the proposed rationalisation of the primary school sector within the Southern education and library board ;
(2) what consultations have been held with the school principals within the primary school sector in the controlled section about the proposals for rationalisation in the Southern education and library board.
Dr. Mawhinney : The proposed rationalisation of schools is a matter in the first instance for either the education and library board in the case of controlled schools or the school authority in the case of voluntary schools. I am not aware of any discussions within the Southern board or between the board and primary school principals on proposed rationalisation, but I understand that the board has established a sub- committee to examine current school places.
Mr. McGrady : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what representations he has received about the proposed rationalisation of the primary school sector within the Southern education and library board.
Dr. Mawhinney : I have received one letter from the hon. Gentleman.
Fencing
Mr. McGrady : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions have taken place about the introduction of financial assistance in respect of the provisions of fencing at agricultural holdings in Northern Ireland.
Mr. Peter Bottomley : Grants are available for fencing on agricultural holdings under both the United Kingdom farm and conservation grant scheme and the Northern Ireland agricultural development programme.
Sheep and Lamb
Mr. McGrady : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what further action will be taken to promote the Northern Ireland sheep industry and the sale of Northern Irish lamb.
Mr. Peter Bottomley : The Livestock Marketing Commission for Northern Ireland is mainly responsible for market promotion and is intensifying its efforts, particularly in relation to export markets.
The Department of Agriculture is supporting the development of a high- quality product through its promotional programmes and various schemes including breeding schemes and its education and advisory services.
Union Flag
Mr. John D. Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many members there are on the Southern health and social services board ; how many of these members selected by him are non-elected members ; what arrangements he makes for flying the union flag at its various premises ; and why it was not flown at Tower Hill hospital, Armagh, on 2 June.
Mr. Needham : There are currently 25 places on the Southern health and social services board, one of which is vacant.
Column 285
Nine of the places on the board are filled after consultation with professional, academic and trade union interests. Nine people are appointed because of the individual contribution they can make to the conduct of the board affairs. Seven places are filled by district councillors.The requirements to fly the union flag on those prescribed dates relevant to Northern Ireland applies only to central Government offices. There is no requirement therefore for it to be flown on Tower Hill hospital, Armagh.
Energy Consumption
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give the number of dedicated energy managers in his Department and the number of person-years devoted to energy management in the latest year.
Mr. Cope [holding answer 5 June 1990] : There is one dedicated energy manager in the Northern Ireland energy conservation unit for the Northern Ireland Government office estate. Three person-years were devoted to energy management in this estate by the unit in 1989-90.
ENERGY
Spent Magnox Fuel
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make it his policy to require Magnox operators to backfit at site dry storage facilities for spent fuel ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Baldry : No. This is a matter for the operators of the Magnox stations. Neither Nuclear Electric nor British Nuclear Fuels have any such plans.
Nuclear Technology
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy which countries, not being signatories of the non-proliferation treaty, have received nuclear technology from the United Kingdom since 1985.
Mr. Baldry : No export licence has been issued since 1985 for the export of nuclear technology to countries which are not signatories to the non-proliferation treaty. The guidelines for all United Kingdom nuclear exports remain as set out by the then Foreign Secretary now Lord Callaghan on 31 March 1976 at columns 514-16, which has been reaffirmed by the Prime Minister. These guidelines ensure that our nuclear exports are fully consistent with our international non-proliferation obligations under the
non-proliferation treaty.
Spent Fuel Processing
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Southwark and Bermondsey, Official Report, 23 May, column 207, what amounts by weight and volume of (a) high-level waste, (b) intermediate-level waste, (c) low-level waste, (d) reusable plutonium and (e) reusable uranium he estimates will result from the reprocessing of (i) the Magnox fuel and (ii) the spent oxide fuel awaiting reprocessing at Sellafield at 31 March.
Column 286
Mr. Baldry : Detailed information on the quantities of materials arising from reprocessing is a matter for British Nuclear Fuels plc.
Nuclear Reprocessing Contracts
Mr. Strang : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions he has had with the chairman of Nuclear Electric concerning the review and revaluation of nuclear reprocessing contracts inherited from the Central Electricity Generating Board.
Mr. Baldry : My right hon. Friend meets the chairman of Nuclear Electric regularly to discuss aspects of the nuclear industry. Reprocessing contracts between Nuclear Electric and British Nuclear Fuels are a commercial matter for the parties concerned.
Nuclear Non-proliferation
Mr. Alan W. Williams : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to bring forward proposals at the fourth review conference of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in August-September, for a multilateral programme for the long-term management of spent nuclear fuel, vitrified high-level wastes and the decommissioning of nuclear facilities developed under bilateral or multilateral nuclear technology transfer under the provision of article IV of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Nuclear Materials
Ms. Primarolo : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he has agreed the definition adopted for the detection time concerning the diversion of nuclear materials from intended peaceful uses, by the safeguards authorities of the International Atomic Energy Agency ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Baldry : The definition of detection time is given in paragraph 108 of the "IAEA Safeguards Glossary" 1987 edition--ref. IAEA/SG/INF/1 (Rev. 1)--a copy of which is available in the Library of the House. This definition is accepted by the member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency, including the United Kingdom.
Plutonium
Mr. Morley : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what developments have taken place since 1985 in safeguards to ensure that non- nuclear weapons states acquiring reprocessing facilities do not use plutonium for military purposes.
Mr. Baldry : We have full confidence in the safeguards arrangements which are currently applied by the International Atomic Energy Agency which has reported no evidence of diversion of civil nuclear material to non- peaceful use.
In recent years there has been a series of meetings to consider the application of safeguards techniques to large-scale commercial reprocessing plants, in which the United Kingdom has been involved ; this programme is continuing. Furthermore, the United Kingdom has, since 1981, carried out a safeguards research and development programme, which is funded to the sum of approximately
Column 287
£1 million annually, in support of the International Atomic Energy Agency. A substantial proportion of this programme is devoted to the development of techniques relevant to the safeguarding of reprocessing plants.Hinkley Point C
Mr. Arbuthnot : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has received the inspector's report from the Hinkley Point C public inquiry ; and when he intends to announce his decision on Nuclear Electric's application and to publish the report.
Mr. Wakeham : I have just received the inspector's report. I shall not be in a position to reach a decision on Nuclear Electric's application until I have thoroughly considered it, but I hope to reach this position by the late summer.
The normal procedure for planning inquiries is for the inspector's report to be published at the same time as my Decision. I intend to follow this procedure in the case of the Hinkley Point C inquiry.
Electricity Agreement (France)
Mr. Bermingham : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what are the implications for the three-year agreement between the electricity supply industry and Electricite de France as part of the non-fossil fuel obligation as a result of current electricity output reductions in France ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Baldry : The agreements between Electricite de France and the public electricity supply companies are not part of the non-fossil fuel obligation.
Loft Insulation
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what criteria were considered when fixing the limit of 30 mm for topping-up loft insulation within the home energy efficiency scheme.
Mr. Peter Morrison : The reference to 30 mm was in the consultation paper issued by the Energy Efficiency Office in February. The figure is that used previously for the homes insulation scheme. A number of representations concerning that level of insulation have been received as a result of the consultation process and are currently being considered.
Nuclear Power (Privatisation Fees)
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether he proposes to pay Kleinwort its full fees for the advice it gave on the privatisation of nuclear power.
Mr. Peter Morrison : Kleinwort Benson's fees for the relevant periods have been paid in full.
Electricity Privatisation
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he expects to announce the price of shares in the electricity distribution companies.
Mr. Peter Morrison : My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State will announce the price of the shares in the 12 regional electricity companies on impact day. It is expected that will be during November 1990.
Column 288
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when the television advertising campaign to sell the electricity distribution companies will commence.
Mr. Peter Morrison : Advertising to publicise the offer for sale of the 12 regional electricity companies will be undertaken to inform the public of the forthcoming flotations. It would be premature to set out provisional plans, which are subject to matters that will not be resolved until much nearer the time of flotations.
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy when he expects to have the estimated total of expenditure on advertising the sale of the electricity distribution companies.
Mr. Peter Morrison : I have nothing further to add to the answers that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State gave to the hon. Member on 1 May and 6 June 1990.
Energy Efficiency
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether he anticipates the Energy Efficiency Office announcing plans to include cavity wall insulation, electrical appliances and hot water tank thermostats within the home energy efficiency scheme.
Mr. Peter Morrison : The possible inclusion of additional energy efficiency measures within the home energy efficiency scheme was an area on which a number of comments were received as a result of the recent consultation process. Those comments are currently being considered.
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy whether he has any plans to implement a minimum standard of knowledge for the energy advisers to be operating under the home energy efficiency scheme.
Mr. Peter Morrison : A number of those responding to the recent consultation paper on the home energy efficiency scheme commented on the need for standards for the provision of energy advice. Those comments are currently being considered.
Nuclear Fuel (Reprocessing)
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) what further capital investment will be required by British Nuclear Fuels plc to meet its contractual obligations to the owners of foreign nuclear fuel to be reprocessed in Britain ;
(2) what capital has been invested by British Nuclear Fuels plc to enable it to reprocess foreign nuclear fuel in Britain.
Mr. Wakeham : British Nuclear Fuels plc has reprocessing contracts for both Magnox fuel and thermal oxide fuel. Magnox fuel is reprocessed in facilities constructed for the United Kingdom's own Magnox reactors and no significant additional capital investment has been necessary to reprocess foreign fuel.
British Nuclear Fuels plc thermal oxide reprocessing plant is being constructed to store and reprocess both United Kingdom and foreign thermal oxide fuel. Several of the associated plants for the treatment of wastes arising from THORP reprocessing will also treat wastes from Magnox fuel. British Nuclear Fuels plc estimates that the
Column 289
allocation of capital investment for the storage, reprocessing and waste management of foreign thermal oxide fuel to date is £1,100 million with £600 million still to be spent.Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy (1) what is the estimated value of British Nuclear Fuels plc contracts to reprocess foreign nuclear fuel in Britain in the current year and each succeeding year up to 1995 ;
(2) what is the estimated total value of British Nuclear Fuels plc contracts to reprocess foreign nuclear fuel in Britain ;
(3) what is the longest period of any contract entered into by British Nuclear Fuels Ltdplc to reprocess foreign nuclear fuel in Britain.
Mr. Wakeham : BNFL's estimated turnover relating to storage, reprocessing and waste treatment still to be performed on foreign nuclear fuel is around £4 billion, excluding £0.75 billion from the series of contracts which BNFL is currently completing with West German utilities. More detailed information on contracts is a matter for the company.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL
Police (Complaints)
102. Mr. Terry Fields : To ask the Attorney-General what is the average period of time taken by the Director of Public Prosecutions in processing complaints by prisoners against police officers in specific cases ; and if he will make a statement.
The Attorney-General : Records of the time taken to process such cases are not kept. However, all such cases are processed as swiftly as possible. The time taken for any particular case depends on the complexity and size of the case. Simple straightforward cases are normally processed within two weeks of receipt of the police investigation report, more complex cases within three months and the most complex and largest cases within six to 12 months.
High Court, Northern Ireland
Mr. John D. Taylor : To ask the Attorney-General whether there is a separate family division at the High Court in Northern Ireland ; how many judges at the High Court deal with the family problem of custody of children and access to children following separation or divorce ; how many such applications await hearing in the High Court ; and if he has any proposals to shorten the time required before such cases are heard in the High Court.
The Attorney-General : A separate family division of the High Court in Northern Ireland was created by the Judicature (Northern Ireland) Act 1978. The business of the family division is assigned to one of the judges of the High Court who is assisted by other judges of the Supreme Court as necessary. All 10 High Court judges hear petitions for divorce and judicial separation and deal with questions of custody of and access to children arising therefrom.
There are two custody applications awaiting hearing and one access application listed for hearing in the week beginning 11 June 1990.
Column 290
Waiting times are in general considered to be satisfactory and there are therefore no proposals to shorten the time required before custody cases are heard by the court.Court House, Armagh
Mr. John D. Taylor : To ask the Attorney-General what are the arrangements for flying the union flag at the court house in Armagh city ; and why it was not flown on 2 June.
The Attorney-General : An attempt was made by the office manager to fly the union flag at Armagh court house on 2 June 1990, but when being hoisted it caught on barbed wire and was torn to the extent that it was rendered unusable.
A new flag has been supplied and will be flown on all appropriate dates in accordance with standing instructions.
Evidence (Fax Machines)
Mr. Bermingham : To ask the Attorney-General whether there is any proposal to make provision, in relation to the Supreme Court for the admissibility of evidence from solicitors of documents in evidence via fax machines ; and if he will make a statement.
The Attorney-General : There are currently no proposals to make provision in the Supreme Court, for the admissibility of evidence from solicitors of documents in evidence via fax machines. Fax copies are unsuited for use as part of the permanent court record because of their tendency to fade. The question of filing court documents by fax will be kept under review, in particular whether technological advances will make fax copies suitable as permanent documents.
ENVIRONMENT
Toxic Waste Imports
Mr. Andrew Welsh : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will provide details of the quantity of toxic waste imported into the United Kingdom.
Mr. Trippier : The latest figure for imports of hazardous waste into the United Kingdom under the Transfrontier Shipment of Hazardous Waste Regulations for the calender year 1989, is 41,554 tonnes. This figure is an update of the one given in the written answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Norfolk, North-West (Mr. Bellingham) on 21 March 1990, Official Report columns 684-85, taking into account additional notifications received from disposers.
Mr. Andrew Welsh : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the Government's estimates of toxic waste imports to the United Kingdom in each of the next five years.
Mr. Trippier : The Government make no estimate of future imports of hazardous waste into the United Kingdom. However, it is expected that imports from other EC member states will reduce in future years following the Council of Environment Ministers' decision in Luxembourg on 7 June 1990 that member states must aim to be self-sufficient in waste disposal.
Column 291
Drought
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will commission a study into the effects of prolonged drought on bird life that requires a diet of freshwater fish ; and what information he has on the numbers of herons observed fishing in the sea along the south coast.
Mr. Trippier : There is no evidence that the risk to birds from the effects of drought is so significant as to justify commissioning a study. Populations of herons and other waterways birds are monitored annually. I have no information about the extent to which herons fish in the sea, but I understand that it is not unusual.
Sea Birds (Poisoning)
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the research centre at Monkswood has within the last 12 months examined any sea birds for evidence of glycol poisoning ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Trippier : The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology's Monkswood experimental station--part of the natural environment research council--has not examined any sea-birds for evidence of glycol poisoning in the past 12 months.
In 1988 the institute carried out analysis and post mortem studies on a number of birds found dead in the Bacton area of Norfolk. No single cause of death could be found at post mortem and none of the chemical or metal residues found in the birds could, taken singly, be considered to have caused death. Tests for glycol residues were inconclusive, although glycols are not generally considered to be especially toxic to vertebrates. No further incidents have been brought to the institute's attention.
Planning Appeals, Manchester
Mr. Lewis : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give the number of planning appeals made to his Department against decisions made by each local authority in Greater Manchester in (a) 1985, (b) 1986, (c) 1987, (d) 1988 and (e) 1989, together with the number of appeals upheld in each year against each authority.

Development Plans
Sir David Mitchell : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many cases there have been in the last 12 months where developers have been found liable for costs after they have pursued appeals against refusals properly substantiated by policies in up-to-date development plans.
Mr. Michael Spicer : During the 12 months from 1 June 1989 to 31 May 1990, my right hon. Friend and planning inspectors awarded the planning authority's appeal costs against an appellant in 53 cases, where the appellant's
