In all cases the inspector's findings were reported orally to the head, the chairman of governors where he or she was able to attend. None of these inspections was planned to lead to a published report. My right hon. and learned Friend will therefore not be publishing the findings of these individual school inspections.
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many copies have been distributed and, in each case, at what cost of all the

editions of the booklets (a) "School Governors, How to Become a Grant-Maintained School", (b) "Grant-Maintained Schools--Questions Parents Ask", (c) "Grant-Maintained Schools--What it Means for Staff" and (d) "Grant-Maintained Schools--Experiences During the First Year".Mr. Eggar : The information requested is given in the table.

<1> The costs recorded in the table include the costs of initial printing, revisions and reprints and postage
cost of block distribution where recorded separately. Postage costs of ad hoc distributions are not available.
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science for each of the financial years 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93 (a) what applications have been received from grant-maintained schools for capital grant and what has been the level of grant approved in each case and (b) what has been the average capital allocation per pupil in the grant -maintained sector and the average capital expenditure per pupil in the local education
authority-maintained sector.
Mr. Eggar : The tables for each of the years requested list the applications received for named projects and the allocations made. The table for 1992-93 does not include bids recently received from newly approved schools which will be considered in due course. In addition to the named project allocations, each grant-maintained school is eligible to claim a formula allocation of capital grant calculated by reference to pupil numbers. The formula for each of the years is as follows.
1990-91--£13,000 per school plus £6 per pupil
1991-92--£19,000 per school plus £9 per pupil
1992-93--£10,000 per school plus £20 per pupil.
The average capital expenditure per pupil at grant-maintained schools in 1990-91 was £181. Numbers of pupils in grant-maintained schools rise during the year as more schools become incorporated. In 1991-92 the average capital expenditure per pupil at the beginning of the year was £231. By the end of the year the average per pupil expenditure is likely to be around £100. Figures for 1992-93 will depend upon the total number of pupils in the sector.
The average capital expenditure per pupil at LEA-maintained schools is as follows :

Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what has been the cost of ballots of parents held under section 61 of the Education Act 1988 ; for which schools he has required a fresh ballot to be held as a result of his guidance not being followed ; and, in each case, what was the reason and who paid the cost of each ballot.
Mr. Eggar : The total cost of ballots up to 31 December 1991 is £349,421.48. A fresh ballot has had to be held at two schools. In the case of both Edenbridge middle school in Kent LEA and Deighton high school in Kirklees LEA, there were significant errors in the compilation of the electoral roll.
In both cases the costs of the ballots were met by my right hon. and learned Friend.
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what has been (a) the maximum possible and (b) the actual level of transitional grant in respect of each grant-maintained school ; and for what purposes the approved expenditure was incurred.
Mr. Eggar : Transitional grant is paid for extra management and other expenditure incurred in the course of changing over to grant- maintained status. The maximum transitional grant allocation and the amount

actually claimed and paid to date in the case of each grant-maintained school or school approved for grant-maintained status are as follows :

We shall be consulting the local authority associations on proposals for the annual local authority finance settlement for 1993-94 in due course.
Voluntary Aided Schools
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list any additional financial support for local education authorities to fund in 1992-93 minor works projects of more than £120,000 for voluntary aided schools ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Fallon : The total amount of resources allocated in 1992-93 for minor works within the new range--£5,000 to £250,000--is £21 million. This compares with an allocation in 1991-92 of £6.7 million for minor works and £1.5 in respect of named major projects costing between £120,000 and £250,000.
Funds for minor works improvement projects are allocated to each local education authority and it is for them to determine which projects should be authorised. The Department has not prescribed the level of funds to be assigned to minor works projects costing more than £120,000.

Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answer 20 January 1992] : The issue raised has been delegated to the chief executive of the Scottish Fisheries Protection Agency and I have asked him to write to the hon. Member.
DEFENCE
Nuclear Weapons
Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the current review of United Kingdom nuclear weapons safety includes an assessment of potential hazards during transportation and handling.
Mr. Alan Clark : I have nothing to add to the answers I gave to the hon. Member for Leeds, West (Mr. Battle) on 19 November 1991, Official Report, column 153 .
Nuclear Submarines
Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence where his Department plans to dispose of decommissioned nuclear submarines.
Mr. Alan Clark : Various options for the disposal of decommissioned nuclear submarines remain under consideration.
Departmental Contracts
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is taking to improve the procedures and practice of his Department in respect to the placing of contracts with small community-based suppliers, such as the Cardiff Institute for the Blind, and in respect to contracting procedures generally.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : The Ministry of Defence operates the provisions of the Government preference scheme in respect of priority suppliers, including the Cardiff Institute for the Blind. In essence this is designed to give such suppliers the opportunity to supply the widest possible range of the Ministry's requirements, but consistent with the need to consider value for the taxpayer's money. We are constantly seeking to improve our procedures and practices, with the aim of improving value for money. The priority scheme apart, we do not in our contract procedures discriminate between suppliers of different size in our allocation of contracts. However, the practices employed have regard for the financial value of the contract concerned. Thus in general simplified procedures are employed for contracts of smaller value, and it is such contracts which are usually of most interest to small suppliers.
The MoD encourages new suppliers to make their capabilities known, and to this end have set up a new suppliers' service, with a small firms group within it, to help such concerns.
Column 79
Military Sales
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, East (Mr. Strang), Official Report, 6 December, column 272, if he will set out so much of the information requested on United Kingdom military sales that could be assembled without disproportionate cost.
Mr. Alan Clark : I refer the hon. Member to my answer to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, East (Mr. Strang) of 30 January, Official Report, column 655. I would be happy to write to the hon. Member also.
AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FOOD
Mackerel
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will allocate an extra sectoral mackerel quota to the Falmouth mackerel handliners.
Mr. Curry : No. Allocations for 1992 will be based on track records as agreed by the industry. However, in view of the increase in the western mackerel total allowable catch for 1992, the allocation for the handliners this year should be about 1,900 tonnes, which is a 39 per cent. increase over the initial 1991 allocation of 1,365 tonnes.
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to ensure that (a) all trawlers within the south- west mackerel box are inspected to ensure that they are not taking more than their allocated mackerel by-catch and (b) that any fishing boat within the south-west mackerel box is entitled to operate there.
Mr. Curry : During the mackerel fishery season normal levels of fishery inspection in the south-west mackerel box are stepped up with an additional fishery surveillance vessel being employed. Prosecutions are taken in the event of contraventions being found.
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the south-west mackerel conservation box in protecting the dedicated mackerel fishery.
Mr. Curry : Research carried out last year by the Department indicated that there were a high percentage of juvenile mackerel present in the box. Both the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and the European Community Commission's scientific and technical committee on fisheries recommended that the box should remain in place to protect this important element of the western mackerel stock. I welcome the European Community decision to make the box a permanent arrangement.
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps within the EC to ban industrial fishing within the south-west mackerel box.
Mr. Curry : There is at present no scientific evidence to suggest that the current level of permitted fishing in the south-west mackerel box causes damage to the mackerel stock. The situation is kept under constant review.
Column 80
Spanish Fishing Boats
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has about Spanish fishing boats registering in Gibraltar as United Kingdom fishing vessels.
Mr. Curry : It is not possible for fishing boat owners--whatever their nationality--to register their boats in Gibraltar as United Kingdom fishing vessels.
Water Quality
Mr. Gareth Wardell : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish a copy of the provisional classification of the water quality of shellfish harvesting areas.
Mr. Curry : EC directive 91/492/EEC sets out health conditions for the production and sale of live bivalve molluscs. With certain possible exemptions, those conditions are to be implemented by 1 January 1993.
It is first necessary to classify production areas according to the treatment required before the molluscs may be marketed. With the co- operation of local authorities and other interested bodies, we are collecting the necessary data in England and Wales and will publish the results when work is complete.
Pollution, Fal Estuary
Mr. Morley : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether current steps taken to control pollution are adequate for long- term protection of the local shellfish industry in the Fal estuary, Cornwall ;
(2) what action he is taking to monitor pollution levels of shellfish in the Fal estuary, Cornwall.
Mr. Curry : Short-term measures to minimise the problems caused by the sudden discharge from the Wheal Jane mine on 13 January are in place. The National Rivers Authority is working with mine owners to find an effective long-term solution. This will be welcome to the local shellfish industry.
When the potential problems with the Wheal Jane mine became apparent last year, we established a monitoring programme involving testing samples of shellfish from the Fal Estuary for levels of metal contaminants. Results from samples tested since the discharge on 13 January show that, with the exception of a possible slight increase in zinc levels, the incident has not resulted in an increase in metal contaminants in shellfish. The levels continue to be below those that would give cause for concern on public health grounds. Our monitoring programme will continue.
Advisory Committees
Dr. David Clark : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the advisory committees, coming under his Ministry, and concerned with public health whose members are requested to sign a declaration concerning the Official Secrets Act ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Maclean : None of the members of these independent MAFF advisory committees is required to sign any declaration under the Official Secrets Act 1989. The relevant committees are the Food Advisory

Committee, the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food, the Advisory Committee on Pesticides, the Veterinary Medicines Committee and the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes.Grant Schemes
Dr. David Clark : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what sums were paid out by each of his divisional offices for each (a) agricultural subsidy scheme

Mr. Maclean : Directive 91/628 on the protection of live animals during transport will provide that imports of animals from third countries shall be authorised only if the exporter and/or importer gives a written undertaking to comply with the requirements of the directive and has made arrangements to comply with them.
The directives on the welfare of pigs--91/630--and calves--91/629--will require animals imported from third countries to have been reared under at least equivalent conditions to those laid down in the directives.
Directive 90/675 will require member states to operate specific border checks to ensure that animal products imported from third countries comply with Community rules and national rules.
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the policy on the maximum journey time which should be permitted for each species of food animal while being exported for slaughter.
