Mr. Moynihan : The energy sub-committee, on which my Department represents the United Kingdom, of the European Communities scientific and technical research committee (CREST) gives advice to CREST on the technical scope of the non-nuclear energy sub-programmes of the framework programmes. It has recently been reviewing the possible scope of the non-nuclear energy sub-programme under the third framework programme.
The work undertaken under the non-nuclear energy sub-programme of the third framework programme is anticipated to give rise to information which will better inform the United Kingdom's and other member states' understanding of the energy scene.
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on United Kingdom participation on the non-nuclear energy management and co-ordination advisory committee of the European Communities ; which British officials have participated in the committee since its inception ; and what advice on wave power programmes has been given by United Kingdom representatives to the committee.

An energy sub-committee, on which my Department represents the United Kingdom, of the scientific and technical research committee (CREST) is currently advising upon the technical scope of the proposed non-nuclear energies sub-programme of the third
Column 520
framework programme. The United Kingdom has informed the Commission of its current review of wave energy and has supported the view that wave projects should be eligible for consideration under the sub-programme.Thermie Programme
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on benefits to the United Kingdom of the EEC Thermie programme on the promotion of technological innovations and demonstration projects in the energy field.
Mr. Moynihan : The Thermie programme is a new programme and projects have not yet commenced. United Kingdom companies which prove to be successful applicants will receive financial support under the scheme ; my Department has been publicising the details.
The programme will have a substantial element devoted to the dissemination of the results of demonstrations of new energy technology. The wider use of such improved technology will be of benefit to the United Kingdom.
Energy Supply
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list the United Kingdom projects involved in the European Communities programme on joint opportunities for unconventional or long-term energy supply.
Mr. Moynihan : The information requested cannot be provided in the time available as this involves analysis of several hundred projects. I will write to the hon. Member.
Nuclear Waste
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Energy what volumes of high-level nuclear waste have been produced from reprocessing of imported irradiated nuclear fuel for reprocessing at (a) Sellafield and (b) Dounreay in every year since 1979 ; and when this waste will be returned to the countries of origin.
Mr. Baldry : Imported irradiated nuclear fuel reprocessed at Sellafield since 1979 will give rise to approximately 15 cu m of vitrified high-level waste, of which approximately 8 cu m will arise from contracts with return of waste options. Since 1976, BNFL's contracts for the reprocessing of overseas spent fuel have contained options for the return of wastes arising. The Government intend that these options should be exercised and that wastes should be returned. High-level wastes will be returned as soon as practicable after vitrification. No irradiated nuclear fuel has been imported to Dounreay for reprocessing since 1979.
SCOTLAND

These contacts will continue. The progress of the inquiry is a matter for Sheriff Kearney to decide taking account of the need to ensure a fair and thorough hearing for all the parties concerned.
Mr. McLeish : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make it his policy that his Department will pay the full costs of the inquiry into child care policy in Fife.
Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answer 18 November 1990] : Once he receives the report of the inquiry the Secretary of State will consider in accordance with section 210(7) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 whether the expenses of the inquiry should be paid to any extent by the local authority or any other party to the inquiry.

In Great Britain, members of the state veterinary service carry out a regular programme of surveillance at slaughterhouses and on farms for veterinary residues in animal products, including tests for the beta- agonists clenbuterol and salbutamol. These employ extremely sensitive procedures to detect residues of beta-agonists. No evidence of abuse has been detected.
We also have a monitoring programme on meat and offal for retail sale from all sources, as part of routine food
