The number of bidders for the port is a matter of commercial confidentiality.

Mr. Bell : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what timetable has been established for the privatisation of the Port of Forth in accordance with the Ports Act 1991 ; what criteria he has laid down for management-employee buy-outs ; how many bidders have submitted bids ; when he expects to receive any recommendation as to the proposed successful bidder ; when he proposes to announce his decision ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin : My right hon. and learned Friend has agreed in principle to the privatisation of the Forth ports authority's undertaking by means of a flotation. The date of the flotation has not yet been announced. In considering the authority's detailed proposals my right hon. and learned Friend has had particular regard to the desirability of encouraging the disposal of the whole or a substantial part of the equity share capital to managers and employees.

Mr. Bell : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what submissions he has received from the port of Ipswich for the privatisation of the port in accordance with the provisions of the Ports Act 1991 ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin : My right hon. and learned Friend has received no proposals for privatisation from that port.

Mr. Bell : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what timetable has been established for the privatisation of the port of Clyde in accordance with the Ports Act 1991 ; what criteria he has laid down for management-employee buy-outs ; how many bidders have submitted bids ; when he expects to receive any recommendation as to the proposed successful bidders ; when he proposes to announce his decision ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin : Final bids for the Clyde port authority's undertaking were submitted on 14 February. Once it has assessed the bids, the Clyde port authority board will make its recommendation to my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State, who will announce his decision as soon as he is able to do so. The objectives of sale for the Clyde port authority include the following criterion in respect of management and employee share-ownership :

"the Authority will have particular regard to the desirability of encouraging the disposal of the whole or a substantial part of the equity (and voting rights) in the successor company to managers or other employees of the successor company (or to a company in which such managers or other employees have a substantial interest)." The number of bidders for the port is a matter of commercial confidentiality.

Mr. Bell : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what submissions he has received from the port of Tyne for the privatisation of the port in accordance with the provisions of the Ports Act 1991 ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin : My right hon. and learned Friend has received no proposals for privatisation from that port.

Service Areas

Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the provision of services on new stretches of national non-motorway roads.


Column 60

Mr. Chope : Policy on the provision of services on all-purpose trunk roads, new and old, is set out in the Department's circular "Roads 4/88". A copy is in the Library. The need is for facilities, preferably comprehensive ones, at appropriate intervals to meet the needs of all users. Local authorities are encouraged to help to identify locations where facilities are not adequate. The Department will in general comment favourably on planning applications which conform to the advice in the circular. Non-motorway roads other than all-purpose trunk roads are the responsibility of local highway authorities.

Canary Wharf

Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport which authorities are empowered to introduce traffic-calming measures at Canary wharf.

Mr. Chope : The introduction of traffic calming on the private roads at Canary wharf is primarily at the discretion of the developers, in consultation as necessary with the local highway authority.

Thames River Bus

Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much public money supports the Thames river bus service.

Mr. Freeman : The Thames river bus service received a £500,000 grant in 1989-90 to promote and improve the service in recognition of its road decongestion and docklands regeneration benefits. Discussions are in progress about the possibility of further support on the basis of benefits to road decongestion from river transport. The case is yet to be made.

Motorway Service Areas

Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the largest sum tendered since 1975 for a motorway service area.

Mr. Chope : It has been the consistent practice to treat the sums tendered for motorway service areas as confidential between the tenderer and the Department.

Road Services

Mr. John Butterfill : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make a statement on the expenditure and improvement of road services within and to Bournemouth since 1987, including those improvements currently under way or approved.

Mr. Chope : The following major improvement schemes have been completed by the local highway authority Dorset county council, in each case with the assistance of 50 per cent. transport supplementary grant from central Government.


Scheme

Poole Harbour Bridge Replacement          |21.0               

In addition, the Department of Transport has carried out a number of small improvements to the A31 in the Bournemouth area. This includes one at Ashley Heath roundabout (£150,000) and approximately £0.5 million on other improvements.

Ports Workers

Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give the number of casual or temporary workers engaged in the ports industry.

Mr. McLoughlin : The British Ports Federation's survey of numbers employed in the United Kingdom port industry on 2 April 1991 found 16,543 manual workers, of whom 638 were in temporary employment.

British Rail

Mrs. Dunwoody : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when next he intends to meet the chairman of British Rail to discuss the external financing limit and train procurement.

Mr. Freeman : My right hon. and learned Friend has regular meetings with Sir Bob Reid, the British Rail chairman, to discuss a variety of railway issues, including external financing and train procurement.

Roads Programme

Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to review the Government's roads programme.

Mr. Chope : The White Paper (Cm 693) "Roads for Prosperity" is the basis of the trunk road programme in England. We keep this under review and from time to time I report progress to Parliament, and any modifications to our plans.

Port of London Authority

Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has for the future role of the Port of London authority ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McLoughlin : Apart from those which it will lose with the sale of the Port of Tilbury, I have no proposals for changes in the statutory functions of the Port of London authority as the harbour authority for the tidal reaches of the Thames. These include conservancy, regulation of navigation, pilotage and the development, with a view to disposal, of its surplus land holdings.


Column 62

Air Services

Mr. Loyden : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he received from British Midland for assistance on its decision to withdraw the air service from Liverpool to London.

Mr. McLoughlin : None.

Maritime Transport Service

Mr. Janman : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information on the Department's definition of substantial employee share ownership and management buy out preference has been given to Maritime Transport Service ; in addition to that which has been given to any other bidder for any trust port under the Ports Act 1991.

Mr. McLoughlin : The chairman of Maritime Transport Services met officials of the Department on 4 February at his request. As regards a price preference for a management and employee buy-out, officials said that my right hon. and learned Friend had made it clear that he was prepared to consider a limited price preference in the light of the particular circumstances of the situation and that they were not able to add further to that statement. As regards the level of employee share ownership, officials said that this was a matter for the relevant port authority boards to consider in assessing bids against the objectives of sale agreed for their port before making their recommendation to my right hon. and learned Friend as to the sale of the port and suggested that Maritime Transport Services should seek any necessary clarification from the port authority boards as to how they would view the level of employee share ownership in assessing bids. The Department has given Maritime Transport Services no information on these matters which is not already available to other bidders for trust ports.

Traffic, Hazel Grove

Sir Thomas Arnold : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received about the need for a grant from his Department to assist with traffic- calming measures in the town of Hazel Grove.

Mr. Chope : None since last year when the council was advised that a scheme may be eligible for consideration for transport supplementary grant if the council demonstrated road safety benefits.

Market Testing

Dr. Kim Howells : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list any areas within his Department that have been identified since 18 November (a) by individuals or organisations from the private sector or (b) otherwise as possibly suitable for market testing and contracting out ; and what steps are being taken to prevent any non-governmental organisations successfully tendering to carry out work currently undertaken by civil servants facing a conflict of interest between the public interest requirement of this work and other commercial activities they are involved in or other clients they represent.

Mr. McLoughlin : A study to determine the most promising areas for market testing within the Department


Column 63

is not yet complete. Guidance on the ethics of conducting business with the private sector is contained in the Treasury's public competition and purchasing unit's guidance--CUP No. 16-- which has been circulated to Departments.

Dr. Kim Howells : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the individuals or organisations from the private sector who have been involved since 18 November 1991 (a) in determining areas within his Department for market testing or contracting out or (b) who have advised him of areas that should be market tested or contracted out to market consultants ; the total fees or other costs to date charged to his Department by them and the full costs likely to be charged.

Mr. McLoughlin : After considering a number of possibilities, Mr. Dick Walker, a senior executive with ICI, has been appointed on a short- term contract to assist in the development of market-testing targets for the Department and its agencies. The Department will reimburse Mr. Walker's ICI salary.

Channel Tunnel Rail Link

Mr. Stephen : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what was the estimated rate of return on investment for the previously proposed channel tunnel rail link route and the current estimated rate of return from investment for the route which he has now decided.

Mr. Freeman : Estimates of the relative benefits and costs of different route options are contained in British Rail's "Comparison of Routes", published in October 1991, copies of which were placed in the Library of the House. British Rail is currently refining the easterly route, and it is too early to provide information on rates of return.

Rail Electrification

Mr. Stephen : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to consider social and economic factors in assessing new rail electrification projects to include such factors in the calculation of the internal rate of return ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman : The electrification of lines is expected to earn an 8 per cent. return compared with the alternative of diesel services. However, it is the policy to take into account external benefits where a project would not otherwise meet the relevant appraisal criteria.

Coaches

Mr. Fearn : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what consultations he has had with coach operators concerning regulations for the discharge of waste from coach toilets.

Mr. McLoughlin [holding answer 28 February 1992] : The law already prohibits a toilet fitted in a wheeled motor vehicle from being capable of discharging directly on to a road.

We have had no consultations with coach operators on this subject.


Column 64

Road Building

Mr. Fearn : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what research his Department has undertaken on the effects of the road building programme on sites of importance for nature conservation.

Mr. Chope [holding answer 28 February 1992] : The effects of road schemes on sites of importance for nature conservation are assessed on a site specific basis as part of the environmental assessment carried out for each scheme. Consultation with English Nature takes place during this assessment.

Mr. Fearn : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will amend the present method of cost-benefit analysis of road building assessment, so as to include an assessment of the environmental impacts of road building.

Mr. Chope [holding answer 28 February 1992] : The Department's current methods for appraising trunk road schemes already include a comprehensive assessment of environmental effects. Effects are quantified as far as possible, but are not given monetary values at present. The Standing Advisory Committee on Trunk Road Assessment has recently reviewed the question of monetary valuation in environmental assessment. Its report and the Government's response will be published shortly.

Cars

Mr. Fearn : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what research his Department has undertaken on the environmental consequences of the forecast increase in the number of cars on roads in Great Britain.

Mr. Chope [holding answer 28 February 1992] : My Department devotes a significant part of its research programme to many environmental issues relating to current and future road transport. For example, we are planning to develop a more accurate assessment of how vehicles perform in order to improve our forecasting of future emissions. We are also reviewing research on alternative vehicle engines and fuel. We are looking at ways of reducing urban congestion and pollution, including the scope for road pricing and the role of enhanced public transport in reducing emissions. Current forecasts of increased road traffic are relevant background to all this research. They are also taken into account in the environmental impact assessments carried out for each of our new road schemes.

SCOTLAND

Column 66

Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the total numbers of (a) summonses and (b) liability orders issued for poll tax debt in Scotland ; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Allan Stewart : None. The procedure for recovery of debts, including community charge arrears, is different in Scotland from that in England and Wales.

There is no equivalent of summonses for community charge arrears in Scotland.

The nearest equivalent to a liability order is a summary warrant. It is however customary for local authorities to apply for a single warrant in respect of many debtors. Information on the total number of persons subject to summary warrant procedure is not held centrally.

The number of summary warrants issued in respect of the community charge for the two years for which figures are available are :


Year   |Number

1989   |76           

1990   |876          

Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what amount of poll tax income is still owed to local authorities for 1989-90, 1990-91 and 1991-92.

Mr. Allan Stewart : The amount of local authorities' budgeted community charge income uncollected at 31 December 1991--the most recent date for which information is available--is as follows :


Year      |£ million          

------------------------------

1989-90   |68.7               

1990-91   |157.6              

1991-92   |351.0              

Health Service Staff

Rev. Martin Smyth : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what has been the increase of staff in health boards since April 1989.

Mr. Michael Forsyth : The information requested is not held centrally for the month of April 1989. Between 30 September 1989 and 30 September 1991, however, the whole-time equivalent of all NHS staff in Scotland fell from 120,677.7 to 117,600.8, a decrease of 2.5 per cent. The data for medical, dental and nursing staff at 30 September 1991 are provisional.

Mr. Kennedy : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total number of people employed by the NHS in Scotland on a full-time and part-time basis.

Mr. Michael Forsyth : The latest available information held centrally shows that at 30 September 1991 there were 85,600 full-time and 56,465 part-time employees in the NHS in Scotland. The data for medical, dental and nursing staff are provisional.

Employees (Expenditure)

Mr. McMaster : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the net capital expenditure per employee in (a) Renfrewshire, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland.
