United Nations Day
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government supported any events or facilitated the distribution of any literature to mark United Nations day on 24 October.
Nuclear Weapons Tests
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what decisions have been taken pursuant to rule 44(4) of the rules of procedure for the amendment conference for states party to the treaty banning nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere in outer space and under water.

WALES
Housing
Mr. Wigley : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much money was authorised for district councils in Wales for the purchase of houses from the private sector for letting by local authorities, in 1989-90 and 1990-91 ; and what the level of authorisation will be for 1991-92.
Mr. Grist : A total of £1 million was made available in both 1989-90 and 1990-91 for district councils to purchase land and houses in areas with a high concentration of second homes. This was in addition to their ability to spend, within available resources, according to their own priorities. Decisions about resources for 1991-92 will be announced very soon.
National Rivers Authority
Mr. Wigley : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will arrange to discuss with the chairman of the National Rivers Authority questions relating to the right of trade unions in the industry in Wales to refer disputes to the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service.
Mr. Grist : No. This is a matter for the National Rivers Authority.
Cardiff Bay Barrage
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the chairman of the Cardiff Bay development corporation regarding the cost and length of time required for carrying out the additional work specified by his independent groundwater consultant Mr. Roy Stoner.
Sir Wyn Roberts : None. Much of the additional work recommended by Mr. Stoner is already being carried out by the corporation's consultants. The remainder will be undertaken as part of the further studies and should not, therefore, result in an extension to the 12-month period as laid down by the Committee which examined the Cardiff Bay Barrage Bill. Any extra costs involved will be met by the corporation.
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what reply he expects to make to the report of Mr. Roy Stoner, placed in the Library on 12 November, relating to the Cardiff bay barrage.
Sir Wyn Roberts : My right hon. Friend has thanked Mr. Stoner for his report and informed him that the issues raised in it will be taken up with Cardiff Bay development corporation and its consultants.
Nature Conservation
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those sites which (i) have been designated or (ii) meet the criteria for designation as (a) special protection areas under the European Community directive on the conservation of wild birds, or (b) Ramsar sites under the convention on wetlands of international importance.
Sir Wyn Roberts : The designation of SPA and Ramsar sites is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. Welsh sites are designated in consultation with me.
Column 129
In Wales three SPAs, Skokholm and Skomer-- part--Dee estuary and Grassholm, and two Ramsar sites, Dee estuary and Cors Fochno, have been designated.I understand that the NCC has so far identified 11 sites, in Wales, which it considers meet the SPA criteria and 10 which meet the Ramsar conditions. These are :
Llyn Idwal (Gwynedd) Ramsar
Llyn Tegid (Gwynedd) Ramsar
Cors Caron (Dyfed) Ramsar
Corsydd Mon/Lleyn (Dyfed) Ramsar
Crumlin Bog (Gwent) Ramsar
Migneint (Gwynedd) Ramsar

Agriculture
Mr. Geraint Howells : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales when he last met representatives from the Farmers Union of Wales to discuss opportunities for young people entering the agriculture industry in Wales ; and if he will make a statement.
Sir Wyn Roberts : My right hon. Friend met representatives of the Farmers Union of Wales on 11 September to discuss a range of agricultural issues, which included the opportunities for young people entering the industry.
Music Teaching
Mr. Barry Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the implications for peripatetic music teaching of local management of schools.
Sir Wyn Roberts : We are not aware that music provision, including the peripatetic music service, has been adversely affected by the introduction of local management of schools. Parents will want to see music provision maintained in the schools their children attend, and so will governors. We confidently expect that the delegation of control to governors will lead to an enrichment in the education experience provided by schools.
Mr. Rod Richards
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, further to his reply of 13 November, Official Report, column 106, if he will give specific details of the knowledge and experience of Mr. Rod Richards in respect of the public sector which will be relevant to his work as special adviser.
Sir Wyn Roberts : My right hon. Friend has nothing to add to the answer he gave the hon. Gentleman on 13 November.
Column 130
HEALTH
Civil Defence
Mr. Bill Michie : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many civil servants are currently employed (a) full time and (b) part time by his Department on civil defence ; what the total costs of employing staff on civil defence duties were in 1989-90 ; what the total costs of employing staff on civil defence duties are expected to be in 1990-91 ; and whether he has any plans for these staff to be transferred to work on other duties.
Mr. Dorrell : The information requested is as follows :
Number of Staff and cost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Number of Staff employed full-time on 19 November 1990 |Nil Number of staff employed part-time on 19 November 1990 |5 Total cost 1989-90 |<1>£58,000 Estimated total cost 1990-91 |<1>£57,000 <1> Approximate
My right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary announced on 16 October that he had initiated a review of the options for the future of civil defence arrangements in the light of east-west relations. Future levels of expenditure in civil defence will depend on the outcome of that review.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Injury and Disablement
Ms. Primarolo : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will provide statistics indicating the nature of injuries for which injury and disablement payments were made for 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989.
Mr. Scott : The table gives statistics distinguishing between industrial accidents and prescribed occupational diseases.
Disablement Pensions in Payment-1986-1989
Date |Industrial|Prescribed
|Accidents |Diseases
---------------------------------------------------
30 September 1986 |147,000 |37,000
4 April 1987 |148,000 |37,000
2 April 1988 |151,000 |37,000
1 April 1989 |150,000 |35,000
Notes:
(i) Injury benefit was abolished in 1983.
(ii) The DSS industrial accident statistics cover
all possible physical injuries for which
disablement benefit is paid in considerable
detail.
(iii) There are some 59 prescribed occupational
diseases.
Civil Defence
Mr. Bill Michie : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many civil servants are currently employed (a) full time and (b) part time by his Department on civil defence ; what the total costs of employing staff on civil defence duties were in 1989-90 ; what the total costs of employing staff on civil defence duties are expected to be in 1990-91 ; and whether he has any plans for these staff to be transferred to work on other duties.
Mrs. Gillian Shephard : None of the staff in the Department is employed full time on civil defence work.
Column 131
There are 10 members of staff in the Department's headquarters and regional offices whose duties include civil defence matters but, since these represent only a very small part of the duties of the staff involved, it is not possible to identify separately the costs involved.Workplace Accidents
Ms. Primarolo : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list the reported accidents involving lifting of patients taken from B176 forms received by his Department for each year from 1983 to 1989 showing distribution by age/sex, occupation, incidence rates based on population of England and place of accident.
Mr. Scott : The information requested is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Retirement Pension
Sir Ian Gilmour : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people put in claims for retirement pension during the six months to March 1989 ; how many were awarded the full basic rate retirement pension ; and what are the reasons for the proportion not receiving full basic rate pension.
Mrs. Gillian Shephard : In the six months to March 1989 317,011 claims were made to state retirement pension and 244,940 awards of basic pension made. The difference between these figures is made up by those claims from individuals choosing to defer their pensions, those which led to the payment of graduated and additional pension only and cases where there was no entitlement to retirement pension. Of the awards made, 194,600 were at the full rate of basic retirement pension. These pensions are based upon a person's, or their spouse's, contribution record ; the main reason for an award being made at less than the full rate is an insufficient record, but it can also reflect a reduction due to receipt of another benefit.
Benefits
Mrs. Ann Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people are in receipt of attendance allowance, mobility allowance and invalid care allowance in (a) the Kirklees district and (b) England and Wales.
Mr. Scott : The numbers of people receiving each benefit in Kirklees district could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The latest available information about people receiving these benefits in England and Wales is in the table :
|Number
-------------------------------------------------------
Attendance Allowance |<1>695,000

Mr. Harry Barnes : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list all forms of benefit that can be obtained through his Department ; when each form of benefit was first introduced ; and whether each form of benefit was introduced as an entirely new benefit or whether it superseded earlier benefit payments.
Mrs. Gillian Shephard [holding answer 15 November 1990] : The information requested is in the table. The dates given are those of introduction of the benefit in its original form and it should be noted that many have since been modified.

AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FOOD
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what advice has been given to the Government of the Irish Republic about their handling of the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in the Republic.
Column 134
Mr. Maclean : We have kept the Government of the Irish Republic fully informed about the measures we have taken to deal with bovine spongiform encephalopathy in the United Kingdom and of the reasons for taking them.
Mr. Hind : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects the Government to respond to the Agriculture Committee's report on bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Mr. Maclean : I and my right hon. Friends have today presented to Parliament the Government's response to the House of Commons Agriculture Committee's report on bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Copies of the response have been deposited in the Library of the House and are available from the Vote Office.
Seaside Rock
Mr. Atkinson : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what investigations have been made into the side-effects of the red- pink colouring E127, known as erythrosine, used in seaside rock ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Maclean : E127, erythrosine, has been investigated by the Food Advisory Committee and the committee on toxicity as part of a review of the use of all colours currently permitted in food. The review showed that the normal consumption of seaside rock coloured with erythrosine does not present a toxicological hazard. However, I have accepted the Food Advisory Committee's advice that there is a need to reduce the level of colours generally in the diet and will be proposing new regulations that will include restrictions on the use of erythrosine as advised by the committee.
EC Special Committee on Agriculture
Dr. David Clark : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish the agenda of each meeting of the special committee on agriculture of the European Community.
Mr. Gummer : It has been the practice of successive Governments not to publish details of the work of official committees reporting to the Council of Ministers.
Fisheries Council
Mr. David Porter : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the outcome of the Fisheries Council held in Brussels on 20 November.
Mr. Curry : I represented the United Kingdom at the Council of Fisheries Ministers in Brussels on 20 November with my noble Friend Lord Strathclyde, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Scotland.
We secured the maintenance of the dual system for herring and price adjustments which should assist the continued orderly marketing of the Scottish herring catch. We kept other price changes within reasonable bounds.
Despite long discussion, the Council was unable to agree on new technical conservation measures. We emphasised the need for early decisions, but the Council concluded that further work was required. We shall continue to press hard for progress on this.
The Council also considered amendments to the fisheries structure regulation discussing the balance of the various measures proposed and remitted the proposal for further consideration at official level.
Column 135
The Council also agreed that the Commission should press ahead with work to harmonise member states' laws in the Mediterranean and to develop improved research arrangements, as a first step in developing a common fisheries policy in the Mediterranean.Tecnazene
Mr. Quin : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of the 1989 United Kingdom potato crop was treated with tecnazene.
Mr. Maclean : No survey was conducted in 1989. The latest figures for use of tecnazene are : in England and Wales 35 per cent. of the 1988 crop ; in Scotland 24 per cent. of the 1986 crop.
Birds
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has any scientific evidence that the bird species subject to the proposed alteration to the Wildlife and Countryside Act cause damage to growing crops, game birds or livestock feedingstuffs.
Mr. Maclean : This Department's central science laboratories have researched damage to agricultural crops caused by starlings, wood pigeons and Brent geese. This damage is significant : starlings can take 12 per cent. of barley for cattle and 20 per cent. of the cherry crop, wood pigeons eat oil seed rape worth £2 million, and Brent geese reduce yield of winter wheat locally by up to 10 per cent.
DEFENCE
United States Nuclear Laboratories
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if any officials of his Department have visited the United States nuclear laboratories at (a) Los Alamos, (b) Lawrence Livermore or (c) Sandia in the current year.
Mr. Archie Hamilton : In the current year Ministry of Defence officials have visited all three of these laboratories under the terms of the 1958 United States-United Kingdom agreement for co-operation on the uses of atomic energy for mutual defence purposes.
Column 136
Military Nuclear Facilities
Mr. Cryer : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he has any plans to seek agreements with the Soviet Union to conclude a bilateral arrangement on environmental restoration and nuclear waste management at military nuclear facilities along the lines of the co-operation agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States of America signed on 18 September.
Mr. Archie Hamilton : We have no such plans.
NORTHERN IRELAND
Rural Development
Mr. McGrady : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the interdepartmental committee on rural development will complete its deliberations and report to him on its findings ; and if he will make such findings and recommendations available for public debate and implementation.
Mr. Brooke : The interdepartmental committee on rural development is preparing to report to me before the end of the year. I do not intend to publish the report, although decisions flowing from it will be announced as appropriate.
Housing Executive
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the total number of applications for (a) improvement grants and (b) repair grants refused by each grants office of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in each year since 1985.
Dr. Mawhinney : The matter the hon. Gentleman raised is for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, but I understand from the chairman that information on the refusal of individual grant types is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the total number and value of (a) improvement grants and (b) repair grants issued by each grants office of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in each year since 1985.
Dr. Mawhinney : This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, whose chairman has advised me that the available information is as follows :

Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the average length of time for the execution of repairs under each repair category identified by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.
Dr. Mawhinney : This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, whose chairman has advised me that the information requested is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the number of families or individuals currently registered as homeless with each district office of the maintenance section of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.
Dr. Mawhinney : This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, whose chairman has advised me that the executive does not maintain a register of homeless persons.
