Dr. David Clark : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what conditions are imposed on the length of time from agreement on exemptions on inheritance tax for the granting of public access to land ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Dorrell : Public access to land which has been conditionally exempted from inheritance tax is required as soon as detailed negotiations have been completed.
Auditing
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer of 11 June, Official Report, columns 233-34 , what are the criteria on which the decision is taken to propose provisions for the auditing of non-departmental public bodies by (a) the Comptroller and Auditor General and (b) private accountancy practices ; what evaluation has been carried out of the respective merits of the two kinds of audit ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Portillo : The Comptroller and Auditor General is normally appointed auditor for non-departmental public bodies which are wholly or mainly financed from public funds, except in the case of bodies whose operations are of a commercial nature and where it is appropriate for the audit to be carried out by private sector auditors qualified under the Companies Act. In the latter case it is usual to provide for the Comptroller and Auditor General to have a right of inspection of the books and records of the company.
Betting Duty
Mr. Menzies Campbell : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the loss to tax revenue in the current financial year of the reduction in pools betting duty which preceded the setting up of the Foundation for Sport and the Arts.
Sir John Cope [holding answer 16 June 1992] : The cost is estimated to be £20 million in 1992-93.
Column 631
Benefits and Expenses
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the estimated number of taxpayers above the current threshold for P11Ds and below the current threshold for the last available figures.
Mr. Dorrell [pursuant to his reply, 8 June 1992, Official Report, column 21] : Unfortunately the estimates given related to numbers otaxpaying employees whose total income was above the current threshold for P11Ds and whose total income was below it. The P11D threshold is applied to earnings, including benefits in kind. About 12.6 million taxpaying employees have earnings above the threshold and 5.8 million have earnings below it. The estimate of 0.8 million taxpaying directors is unaffected.
SCOTLAND
Modern Languages
Mr. Galbraith : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will make resources available to regional and island education authorities in order to increase the teaching of modern languages in primary schools ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) if he will give for regional and island education authorities, the cost of introducing the teaching of modern languages in primary schools ; and if he will make a statement ;
(3) by which year he expects the teaching of modern languages in primary schools to be universally available throughout Scotland ; and if he will make a statement.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton : Foreign language teaching will be made available in the curriculum of all Scottish primary schools within the life -time of this Parliament. Plans to implement this policy are now being prepared and a further announcement will be made in due course.
Physical Education
Mr. Raymond S. Robertson : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to reclassify physical education as a practical subject in Scottish secondary schools.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton : It is the responsibility of local authorities, in consultation with headteachers, to determine the deployment of teaching staff in circumstances which may call for formation of smaller groups for certain purposes. Development of the school curriculum may mean that some classes formerly regarded as non-practical may now contain practical elements ; the converse may also be true. The most recent statistics on average class sizes in physical education are set out in SOED Statistical Bulletin C7/1992/3 issued in February this year, a copy of which has been placed in the Library.
Agencies
Mr. McAllion : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the first degree obtained by the chief executive of the Scottish Agricultural Science Agency ; and from which university or polytechnic it was awarded.
Column 632
Sir Hector Monro : The director and chief executive of the Scottish Agricultural Science Agency, Dr. Robert K. M. Hay gained a first-class honours degree in chemistry from the university of Aberdeen in 1967.
Golf
Mr. McMaster : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to promote Scotland worldwide as the home of the sport of golf ; and if he will make a statement.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton [holding answer 11 June 1992] : I have today written to the hon. Member and a copy will be placed in the House Library.
Forests
Mr. Dafis : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make it his policy to promote the creation of forest reserves in areas where less than 20 per cent. of the original forest remains, and to surround such areas with tracts of modified forests.
Sir Hector Monro [holding answer 15 June 1992] : The Government attach considerable importance to the conservation of the remaining ancient and semi-natural woodlands in Britain. These woodlands are protected by the felling controls in the Forestry Act 1967, as strengthened in 1985, and the Forestry Commission offers grants and guidance to encourage their effective management. In addition, woodlands which are sites of special scientific interest are protected under the provisions of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. These measures are proving effective and we are not convinced that further initiatives of the kind proposed by the hon. Member are needed.
Cancer
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the average cancer mortality rates in each of the past 10 years.
Mr. Allan Stewart [holding answer 12 June 1992] : The figures requested are given in the table.

Broadleaf Plantings
Mr. Win Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 9 June, Official Report, column 134, concerning the planting of native broadleaf species, what information is held centrally on non-native species planted since 1984.
Sir Hector Monro [holding answer 16 June 1992] : Detailed information by areas and species, both for Forestry Commission planting and for private sector planting approved by the Commission for grant aid, has been held centrally on computer since May 1991. These records indicate that current broadleaved planting mainly comprises native species. Information at the same level of
Column 634
detail in respect of private sector planting before that date is held in individual files in the commission's local offices. There is no evidence, however, that the pattern of broadleaved planting as between native and non-native species has differed over the past few years.Council House Building
Mr. Welsh : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total number of council houses built in Scotland in each year since 1979 ; and if he will provide a breakdown by local authority.

SOCIAL SECURITY
Citizens Charter
Mr. Sproat : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security why officials of the Benefits Agency did not give their names to Mr. M C Vaughan-Chatfield when making inquiries on behalf of his wife's disability allowance ; and what are the provisions of the citizens charter in this respect.
Mr. Scott : The citizens charter stated that public servants would normally be expected to wear name badges and to give their names on the telephone or in writing. The Benefit Agency's own customer charter also gave a commitment that, other than in exceptional circumstances, staff would give their names when dealing with customers. The arrangements for implementing this are currently being discussed at local level.
I understand from Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency, that staff do not recollect being asked for their names by Mr. Vaughan-Chatfield, although he was given them voluntarily on two occasions.
If my hon. Friend requires further information I understand Mr. Bichard would be happy to assist.
Column 636
Disability Living Allowance
Mr. Sproat : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he is taking to improve the speed and efficiency of dealing with claims for, and appeals against decisions on, disability living allowances.
Mr. Scott : The administration of disability living allowance is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to my hon. Friend and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.
Access to Records
Miss Emma Nicholson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what conclusions he has reached on the implications of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Graham Gaskin for people seeking access to personal records for which he has responsibility ; and what action he intends to take.
Mr. Burt : The judgment in this case relates to the access to personal child care files held by social services authorities. However, officials in the Department are studying the judgment to establish whether it has any indirect impact on access to information held by the Department. I will write to the hon. Member when the extent of any implications has been established.
Plessey
Mr. O'Hara : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has had from pensioners of Plessey plc about their treatment by GEC.
Miss Widdecombe : We have received a number of representations from and on behalf of pensioners who were employed by Plessey plc prior to the companies' acquisition by GEC/Siemens in 1989. The
representations concerned their occupational pension rights which are currently the subject of an agreement which is before the High Court for approval and the withdrawal of a free private health care plan which is a matter for the company as an employer, rather than for the pension scheme.
Column 637
Income Support
Mr. Vaz : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will review income support rates to ensure that they are adequate to cover a basic standard of living.
Mr. Burt : Income support rates are reviewed each year and uprated by the Rossi index. From April this year, income support rates have been increased by 7 per cent., nearly 3 per cent. more than the RPI for the same period.
Mr. Raynsford : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the cost to his Department of payments towards mortgage interest on the part of income support recipients in each of the years from 1988 to 1991 ; and what is his Department's estimate of the cost of such payments in the current year.
Mr. Burt : The table gives estimates from 1988 to 1990, the latest year for which information is available :

Mr. Raynsford : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many recipients of income support have been receiving amounts in respect of mortgage payments on their home in each of the years from 1988 to 1991 ; how many are currently receiving such assistance ; and what is his Department's estimate of the number likely to be receiving such assistance in the current year.
Mr. Burt : The table gives estimates from 1988 to 1990, the latest year for which information is available.
Number of claimants receiving help with mortgage interest Year |Number ------------------------ 1988 |300,000 1989 |281,000 1990 |310,000 Source: Income Support Statistical Inquiries 1988-90.

Mr. Tony Lloyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will give reasons for the delay in resolving the case of Mrs. D. O. (reference YB17583A).

Column 638
Family Income
Mr. Nicholas Brown : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate, using the latest family expenditure survey, average equalised weekly income (a) before housing costs, and (b) after housing costs.
Mr. Burt : The latest family expenditure survey data to be processed to yield figures in the form requested are those for 1988 and 1989. The results will be presented in the next edition of "Households Below Average Income" which we expect to be ready for publication in July. Copies of this publication will be available in the Library.
Repossessions
Mr. Raynsford : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what information he has on the number of income support recipients who ceased to qualify for contributions towards the cost of their mortgage interest payments as a consequence of their home being repossessed in each of the years from 1988 to 1991 ; and how many are estimated to be in that position in the current year.
Mr. Burt : The information requested is not held. Under the Social Security (Mortgage Interest Payments) Act 1992 help with mortgage interest will in the future be paid automatically to qualifying lenders. The Council of Mortgage Lenders has given an assurance that it will not seek possession when the mortgage interest due is covered by direct payment.
Maxwell Pension Funds
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security on what basis he reached the decision that £2.5 million would be sufficient to make good Maxwell pension losses until their funds' assets are unfrozen.
Miss Widdecombe : The Department keeps in close touch with the trustees of Maxwell pension funds to ensure that we have the most up to date information about the state of the schemes. The temporary emergency funding of up to £2.5 million will help trustees maintain payments to pensioners who would otherwise have a reduced pension or no pension over the next few months while frozen assets are being released and progress is made in restoring and obtaining other funds.
Publicity Spending
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 2 June, Official Report, column 481, if he will make a statement on the differences between the estimated and actual outturn for publicity spending in 1991-92.
Mr. Burt : The difference of £1.061 million resulted from a reduction in planned campaign activity during the year.
Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 2 June, Official Report, column 489, if he will make a statement on the variations in the estimated publicity spending of the Benefits Agency as announced in April and November 1991 and the outturn figure.
Mr. Burt : The publicity budget of the Benefits Agency is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of
Column 639
the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Member shortly and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.Mr. Dobson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the publicity spending of the Benefits Agency during 1990-91.

EMPLOYMENT
Defence Industries
Miss Emma Nicholson : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what policies she has formulated to retrain and redeploy the skills of those in the south west in general and Torridge and West Devon in particular who are affected adversely by the decline of defence-associated industries.
Mr. McLoughlin : There is a range of programmes and services available through the Employment Department, employment service, and training and enterprise councils (TECs) to help unemployed people find new jobs, retrain or set up their own businesses. These measures are available to former employees of all sectors, including defence, in the south west as elsewhere.
Devon and Cornwall TEC has established operation "Opus", a partnership between it, the employment service and others to give advice and help in defence redundancy situations.
The Employment Department has published an information pack, "Local Action for Employment Tackling Job Losses", which sets out the way TECs, the employment service and other local organisations can help individuals and communities affected by job losses.
Training
Mr. Gerrard : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many places on employment training and youth training schemes have been available in Walthamstow for each of the years 1990 and 1991 ; and how many are estimated as likely to be available in 1992.
Mr. McLoughlin : The information regarding the number of training places available in Walthamstow is not collected.
Since 1 April 1991, training in Walthamstow has been the responsibility of London East training and enterprise council (LETEC). At 29 March 1992, there were an estimated 4,800 people in training on YT and an estimated 3,600 people in training on ET in the LETEC area.
EC Presidency
Mr. Foulkes : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what her Department's priorities are for the United Kingdom presidency of the Community.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : The overall theme for the United Kingdom's presidency in employment and social affairs will be "A Community at Work".
Column 640
The Department's key priorities for the presidency are as follows :to focus greater attention on tackling unemployment and creating lasting jobs in the Community ;
to promote even-handed and effective implementation and enforcement of existing EC legislation ;
to continue to remove barriers to the mobility of labour ; to support the European year of health and safety by taking forward proposals promoting high standards of health and safety at work ; to manage efficiently the business of the Social Affairs Council.
Training Places, Carlisle
Mr. Martlew : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many training places have been available in Carlisle in the years (a) 1988-89, (b) 1989-90, (c) 1990-91 and (d) 1991-92, respectively.
Mr. McLoughlin : The information regarding the number of training places available in Carlisle is not collected.
Since 30 April 1990, training in Carlisle has been the responsibility of Cumbria training and enterprise council (TEC). At 29 March 1992, there were an estimated 3,600 people in training on youth training and an estimated 1,300 people in training on employment training in the Cumbria TEC area.
Mr. Martlew : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons aged 16 and 17 years who are not in employment or education and are not on youth training scheme programmes there are in Carlisle at the present time.
Mr. McLoughlin : I understand from the local careers service which covers the Carlisle area that there are currently 203 young people in the area who are registered with it as not in employment or education who are not in YT.
GCHQ
Mr. Burden : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what recent discussions she has had with the International Labour Organisation about the ban on trade union organisations at GCHQ ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : This matter has very recently been discussed in the international labour conference (ILO) where we confirmed that the dialogue with the trade unions on the issue remains open. At the same time we continued to make clear the overriding national security interests involved. The ILO took account of this position in reaching its conclusions which will be published shortly.
Annual Performance Agreement
Mr. Peter Ainsworth : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when the Employment Service annual performance agreement for 1992-93 will be published.
Mrs. Gillian Shephard : I have today placed copies of the Employment Service annual performance agreement for 1992-93 in the Library.
Column 641

Mrs. Roe : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if she will name the members of the small high level working group which will advise her on issues relevant to women's opportunities in the workplace and beyond.
Mr. McLoughlin [pursuant to his reply, 9 June 1992, columns 141- 42] : I regret that the list of members of the working group onwomen's issues given in my reply of 9 June 1992 was incorrect.
