Notes:
1.Column 1 lists in cash terms the total gross public
expenditure on housing in Scotland which lies within the
responsibility of the Secretary of State for Scotland. This
includes gross capital expenditure by local authorities,
new towns, Scottish Homes and its predecessors, the
Scottish Special Housing Association and the Housing
Corporation in Scotland, as well as current expenditure on
grants and subsidies by central government. The figure for
1991-92 is provisional.
2.Column 2 expresses the figures shown in column 1 in
1990-91 prices, using GDP deflators.
3.Since gross total figures for Scottish Office expenditure
are not available, Column 3 expresses the figures shown in
Column 1 as a percentage of the total net public
expenditure within the responsibility of the Secretary of
State for Scotland for the relevant year, expressed in cash
terms.
4.The figures for years 1979-80 to 1983-84 are not directly
comparable with those for 1984-85 to 1991-92 due to the
changes in the definition of the Planning Total announced
in Cm 441.

Mr. Allan Stewart : Unless a patient has indicated otherwise, placentae will be treated by hospitals as clinical waste and it is for health boards to decide on the appropriate arrangements for disposal. In some cases placentae are collected by pharmaceutical companies who use these to produce immunoglobulin but I am not aware of placentae being used other than for medical purposes. I shall ask health boards to ensure that the disposal arrangements meet with the agreement of the patient.
Training

Mr. David Marshall : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the reason for the delay in making a decision on the management/employee buy-out of Strathclyde Buses ; when he expects to announce his decision ; and if he will make a statement.
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton : Early in May my right hon.

On 18 May there was a fire at Strathclyde Buses' Larkfield depot, Glasgow which destroyed the depot and a large number of buses. My right hon. Friend immediately sought clarification from the regional council about whether the vendors and prospective purchasers were content that the terms of the offer should remain unchanged. A response is awaited. A decision on the sale will be announced after the terms of the offer have been confirmed.

Some 29 authorities, representing 61 per cent. of the population of Scotland, have schemes for CFC recovery. New schemes identified by authorities in their expenditure plans are taken into account when setting their capital expenditure allocations
Column 628
each year. The public are also encouraged, in the recently published citizens' guide "Green Rights and Responsibilites in Scotland", to make use of council facilities for the safe removal of CFCs from old refrigerators. As a further measure it is intended to ban the supply of refrigerant in disposable containers.Market Testing

Mr. Lang [holding answer 29 June 1992] : In January 1992 Coopers and Lybrand Deloitte was engaged to provide assistance in drawing up a list of potential market testing candidates. That consultancy project finished in March 1992 and there are currently no consultants appointed for market testing.
Forestry
Mr. Wilson : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will place in the Library a copy of the advice given by his Department in relation to tree planting in Strath Cuileannach, Sutherland, and its impact on agricultural activity.
Sir Hector Monro [holding answer 30 June 1992] : It is not the normal practice of my Department to publish correspondence relating to individual cases in the manner requested. However, the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department was consulted by the Forestry Commission about the proposals to develop a new native pinewood at Strath Cuileannach and decided not to object to the proposals, subject to certain conditions regarding the boundaries of the scheme affecting the land retained for sheep farming. That decision was taken in accordance with the procedures and criteria for the release of agricultural land for forestry announced by the then Secretary of State for Scotland, in reply to a question from myself, on 24 October 1989.
Mr. Wilson : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what information is available to him from planting applications on the ownership of Strath Cuileannach, Sutherland.
Sir Hector Monro [holding answer 30 June 1992] : The application for grant aid for planting at Strath Cuileannach shows the land owned by Forest Farm Partnership.
Mr. Wilson : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list, by geographical area, the planting grants approved by the Forest Authority in each of the past three years.
Sir Hector Monro [holding answer 30 June 1992] : The areas of planting for which grants were paid in England, Wales and Scotland are shown in the Forestry Commission's 1989-90 and 1990-91 annual reports in table 2 of appendix XI in each case. Copies of these reports are available in the Library of the House. Similar information for 1991-92 will be included in the Commission's annual report to be published in the autumn. I have arranged for provisional figures for that year to be provided to the hon. Member and to be placed in the Library.

Industrial Tribunals
Mr. Tony Lloyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what guidance she gives to employees about the entitlement of lay members of industrial tribunals to paid time off work for tribunal duties.
Mr McLoughlin : People who are invited to become industrial tribunal lay members are informed that they are entitled under legislation to reasonable time off work for tribunal duties. There is no entitlement under the law to paid time off for such duties.
Mr. Tony Lloyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what steps she is taking to increase the number of women serving as lay members on industrial tribunals.
Mr. McLoughlin : My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Employment, is anxious to increase the number of women serving on industrial tribunals as on other bodies, and we have taken steps to encourage suitable women to come forward for appointment from October 1992. Last year my predecessor, in asking bodies to nominate suitable candidates, stressed the desirability of increasing the number of women appointed. He also asked other bodies, including the Equal Opportunities Commission and the Women's National Commission to take what steps they could to encourage suitable women to apply. Officials in the Department organised a seminar for these bodies at which the need to encourage suitable women was stressed, and the information provided to interested inquirers and the press publicity about the appointment arrangements also emphasised this point.
Mr. Tony Lloyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what guidance she gives to lay members of industrial tribunals about the number of days they should expect to sit on tribunal duties.
Column 630
Mr. McLoughlin : Individuals who are offered appointment to the panels of industrial tribunal lay members are told they may be asked to sit at least 15 days a year.

Dr. Marek : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what has been the total cost so far of the market-testing initiative in her Department since November 1991.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : I am unable to provide full-cost information.
Dr. Marek : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what estimate she has made of savings in her Department as a result of the market-testing programme.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : No such estimate has been made. The aim of market testing is to provide a better service to the customer as well as better value for money. We cannot predict in advance what the effect of the future market testing programme will be on the quality of service and costs, but we shall be looking for improvements in both.
HEALTH Pharmaceutical Information
Mr. Sims : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what are the regulations or guidelines which enable pharmaceutical companies to acquaint doctors with their products but preclude them from doing so in respect of nurses ; and what plans she has to change these arrangements with the extension of limited prescribing powers to certain categories of nurses.
Dr. Mawhinney : Regulations made under the Medicines Act 1968 do not preclude pharmaceutical companies from acquainting nurses with their products, although the advertising of prescription medicines which may be administered by nurses is confined to nursing journals. Regulations also provide that prescription medicines may be advertised to those who may lawfully prescribe them.
Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act
Mr. David Atkinson : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those professions which are covered by the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960 ; what plans she has to review the Act and to extend it to include further such professions ; and if she will make a statement.
Dr. Mawhinney : The Act currently covers chiropodists, dietitians, medical laboratory technicians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers and orthoptists. Under section 10 of the Act, it is for the Council for
Column 631
Professions Supplementary to Medicine to propose any extension of its scope to other groups. There are no plans at present to review the Act.Immunology

Dr. Mawhinney : The Department's September 1990 medical manpower census--the latest date for which figures are available
centrally--records one consultant immunologist in each of the East Anglian and South West Thames regional health authorities and two consultant immunologists in the Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's special health authority. Other immunologists with general medical responsibilities are likely to have been recorded under general medicine rather than immunology.
NHS Expenditure
Mr. Cousins : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what was the expenditure per head in each region and nationally of (a) hospital and community health services, (b) general practitioner services, excluding the cost of the prescriptions, (c) general dental services, gross and net dental charges and (d) general practitioner--prescribed prescriptions, for 1991-92.
Mr. Sackville : Information derived from the 1991-92 annual accounts of health authorities and family health services authorities will be available in the autumn.
Abortion
Mr. Alton : To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what steps have been taken to ensure that her Department's guidelines and arrangements for counselling on abortion, have been followed in each district health authority ;
(2) if she will list the applications made by local authorities for the funding of pilot projects concerned with counselling on abortion as envisaged under health circular HC(77)26 together with the name of the health authority, the sum requested, the year of application, whether or not funding was granted and the sum granted.
Mr. Sackville : Health circular (77)26 was issued in 1977 following the report of the Lane committee on the working of the Abortion Act 1967. The arrangements introduced at that time for funding training from central funds were designed to enhance existing local training facilities through pilot projects, if needed. The arrangements were not intended to be permanent or long-running. Records of take-up are no longer available. It is now the responsibility of local management to ensure that staff are properly trained in counselling skills where this is relevant to their work.
Mr. Alton : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will give the number of inspections of each of the places approved for the purposes of section 1(3) of the Abortion Act 1967 since they were first approved under that section.
Mr. Sackville : This information could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Once approval is given under
Column 632
section 1(3) of the Abortion Act 1967, those places using all of their beds for abortions are visited at least twice a year. Other approved places have at least one visit a year.Factor 8
Mr. Elletson : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on the operation of the Medicines Act (Exemptions from Licences) (Importation) Order 1984--SI, 1984, No. 673--in relation to named patient arrangements for the supply of unlicensed factor 8 preparations and other unlicensed pharmaceutical products.
Dr. Mawhinney : Applications for the import of unlicensed factor 8 as with all unlicensed medicines are subject to the provisions of SI 1984 No. 673--the Medicines (Exemption from Licences) (Importation) Order. This makes provision to meet a need for a particular product where there is no equivalent licensed product available on the United Kingdom market or if such a licence has been granted, the medicinal product is not in practice available.
Sale or supply of exempted products is restricted to the conditions specified in the order.
Each import exemption is limited to a quantity not exceeding that sufficient for 25 single administrations or for 25 courses of treatment not exceeding three months.
In deciding whether or not to allow importation the Medicines Control Agency considers : the facilities and conditions relating to manufacture, the quality of material being imported and whether the medicinal product can be regarded as a product which can be safely administered to human beings or whether the product is of satisfactory quality for such administration.
