Rents
Mr. Cann : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from housing associations on the effect of reductions in Government grants on the level of rents ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Baldry [holding answer 6 July 1992] : My hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Planning met representatives of the National Federation of Housing Associations recently to discuss housing association matters, including the level of rents. He has also received
Column 158
some letters from individual associations. The Housing Corporation is monitoring outturn rents under the new financial regime and will shortly be putting proposals to the Department for grant rates in 1993-94. In reaching a decision we will take into account the views expressed by the federation and associations. Schemes are now financed by both grant and private loan and this, combined with the substantially increased resources which the Government are making available overall, should result in associations completing nearly twice as many new homes next year as they did last.Column 159
Education Finance
Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table for each local education authority in England showing their basic credit approval for (a) 1989-90, (b) 1990-91, (c) 1991- 92 and (d) 1992-93 ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Redwood [holding answer 6 July 1992] : I have today placed in the Library a table which gives the basic credit approval for all of the services provided by each local education authority in England for 1990-91, 1991-92 and 1992-93. No basic credit approvals were issued for 1989-90 as section 53 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, under which they are issued, was not in force for that financial year.

Local Government Finance
Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish his latest estimates for each local authority and for England of (a) the percentage of total budgeted poll tax income collected so far for 1990-91,
Column 161
1991-92 and 1992-93, (b) the total amounts outstanding in pound sterling million and (c) the numbers of liability orders taken out for poll tax debt.Mr. Redwood : I estimate that by 31 March 1992 charging authorities in England had collected 97 per cent. and 89 per cent. of their budgeted community charge income for 1990-91 and 1991-92 respectively. Figures for 1992-93 are not yet available.
I am arranging for a listing of the percentage of 1990-91 budgeted community charge income collected by each authority in the period 1 April 1990 to 31 March 1992 to be placed in the Library of the House.
With respect to the percentage of 1991-92 budgeted community charge income collected, I refer the hon. member to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, the Member for Hornchurch (Mr. Squire), on 17 June 1992 to the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. Redmond), at column 565.
My Department does not collect figures for amounts of community charges outstanding or for the numbers of liability orders granted. Figures for the amount of community charge arrears at 31 March 1991, and for liability orders granted in 1990-91, were published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in "Revenue Collection Statistics 1990-91 Actuals", a copy of which is available in the Library of the House.
Construction Industry Training Board
Ms. Eagle : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many training places were awarded by the Construction Industry Training Board in the north-west last year ; and how many of them were filled.
Mr. McLoughlin : I have been asked to reply.
The Construction Industry Training Board negotiates individually with each training and enterprise council the number of training weeks rather than training places under youth training the CITB will provide. In 1991-92 in the north-west a total of 158,905 weeks were contracted, of which 127,482 were delivered.
At March 1991 there were 2,235 young people in youth training with the CITB in the north-west.
The CITB is not itself a training manager for employment training but provides support to employment training training managers through direct contracts with them. The detail of these contracts is not known to the Department.
NATIONAL FINANCE
Regional Economies
Mr. Biffen : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the degree of convergence between the English and Welsh economies based upon the statistical data provided in appendix E of the statistical supplement to the "Autumn Statement 1991" and the territorial gross domestic product data published in the regional accounts of the November 1991 issue of "Economic Trends".
Mr. Lamont : Simple comparisons of regional spending per head are misleading. Account needs also to be taken of a wide range of economic and social differences between the regions. Gross domestic product per head can provide
Column 162
a measure of the relative economic performances of regions of the United Kingdom although, due to the lack of regional price deflators, comparisons of regions' real rates of economic growth cannot be made. Gross domestic product per head in Wales was 82.8 per cent. of the level in England, very close to the equivalent 1980 figure of 82.4 per cent. This ratio has fluctuated a little, but has remained generally steady over the decade.Exchange Rate
Mr. Clifton-Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the variation in the position of the pound sterling against the deutschmark as at the close of business on each of the 10 working days following the reductions in the United Kingdom's bank base lending rates on (a) 8 October 1990, (b) 13 February 1991, (c) 27 February 1991, (d) 22 March 1991, (e) 12 April 1991, (f) 24 May 1991, (g) 12 July 1991, (h) 4 September 1991 and (i) 5 May 1992.
Mr. Nelson : The percentage differences from sterling's central exchange rate mechanism rate of DM2.95 as at the third concertation among central banks for the days in question were as follows :

Mr. Nelson : Sterling will move to the narrow band of the ERM in due course at the current central rate of DM2.95.
Pension Funds
Mr. Betts : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the provisions which govern the power of the Investment Management Regulatory Organisation to investigate the conduct or control of pension fund managers.
Mr. Nelson : Schedule 2 to the Financial Services Act 1986 sets out the requirements which a self-regulatory organisation must meet in order to be recognised under the Act. These include adequate arrangements for the effective
Column 164
monitoring and enforcement of compliance with its rules and with any directly applicable conduct of business requirements.Public Sector Borrowing Requirement
Mr. Clifton-Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy to publish the latest Treasury forecast on the PSBR.
Mr. Portillo : No. Forecasts are published twice a year. The next forecast will be published in the autumn statement.
Oil Taxation
Mr. Colvin : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list those organisations and individuals whom he has consulted during his review of oil taxation.
Mr. Dorrell : The Government remain in contact with a range of parties interested in oil production taxes. For instance, my officials have had exchanges with oil industry representative bodies--the United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association and BRINDEX--and individual oil companies in devising the oil tax measures now before Parliament in the Finance Bill.
Mr. Colvin : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to complete his review of oil taxation ; and if he intends to report to Parliament before deciding what reforms, if any, to introduce.
Mr. Dorrell : As with other taxes, the fiscal regime for oil production is kept under continuing review. Proposals are put to Parliament as appropriate.
Civil Servants
Mr. Ian Bruce : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many civil servants in his Department are paid at a rate exceeding that of a Cabinet Minister.
Third World
Mr. Kirkwood : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy that any future structural adjustments agreed with third world Governments should take fully into account the effect of the changes experienced by vulnerable groups in debtor countries.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 6 July 1992] : The Government have made clear--most recently in my right hon. Friend's statement to the development committee at the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World bank--the priority they attach to Governments and the international financial institutions taking full account of their responsibility to devise and implement effective strategies for the reduction of poverty when designing adjustment programmes. It is the policy of the IMF and the World bank to pay full regard to the impact of adjustment programmes on the poor.
Inheritance Tax (Exemptions)
Dr. David Clark : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the hectarage of land where there is currently exemption from inheritance tax for access purposes in each county or region.
Column 165
Mr. Dorrell [holding answer 6 July 1992] : I regret that this information is not readily available.The Countryside Commission has estimated that, in England, there are about 130,000 hectares--315,000 acres--of heritage quality land for which a management agreement has been or is being negotiated. It is thought that about half of this area is land for which conditional exemption has been granted ; the remainder relates to private treaty sales of land to bodies qualifying under schedule 3 to the Inheritance Tax Act, acceptances in lieu of tax, designations of land for heritage maintenance funds and conditional exemption claims which have not yet been agreed. Comparable figures for the rest of the United Kingdom are not available.

Mr. Scott : The administration of the social fund is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Members with such information as is available and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.
Disability Living Allowance
Ms. Jowell : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) if he will rewrite the section of the disability living allowance form on preparing a cooked main meal ;
(2) if he intends to rewrite the claim pack for the disability living allowance.
Mr. Scott : I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Rochdale (Ms. Lynne) on 15 June at column 384.

The benefit inquiry line also provide audio cassette tapes to help visually impaired people to complete the disability living allowance forms.
Pension Rights
Mr. Jon Owen Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he will take to reduce the gender imbalance in pension rights.

Mr. Jon Owen Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security for what reasons he decided that women widowed before the age of 45 years cannot receive widows' pensions.
Miss Widdecombe : The changes were made in 1988 to target help where it is most needed--older widows and widows with dependent children. This is fairer and reflects the reality of the changed employment pattern of women. Widows under 45 with dependent children continue to be eligible for widowed mother's allowance and there is now
Column 167
a widow's payment of £1,000 for all eligible women immediately on bereavement regardless of entitlement to a subsequent weekly benefit.Young People (Hardship Payments)

Column 168
Lodgers
Mr. Jon Owen Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he proposes to take to encourage the taking in of lodgers (a) generally and (b) among those of or near retirement age.
Miss Widdecombe : We have no plans for such initiatives in the social security system. However, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer has introduced proposals for fiscal incentives in the current Finance Bill.
Correspondence
Mr. Steen : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to reply to the letter from the hon. Member for South Hams, dated 23 April, regarding Mrs. J. Thorne of Southfield Rise, Paignton.

Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will specify the criteria used by his Department in determining applications for back payment of attendance allowance.
Column 169
Mr. Scott : Payment of attendance allowance cannot be made for any period before it is claimed.Advisory Committees
Mr. Alfred Morris : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list the advisory committees and their memberships which advise him on matters relating to the European Community ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Scott : I am advised by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (IIAC) on relevant EC matters. This is a statutory advisory body made up of medical experts in occupational health, representatives of employers and employees organisations, a lawyer and an independent social researcher. A list of members can be found in their report published in May 1992, "Work- Related Upper Limb Disorders", Cm 1936.
Other advisory committees associated with the Department are kept informed of EC issues. The Department also discusses EC issues with representatives of the pensions and financial services sector as necessary.
War Disablement Pension
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the present level of war disablement pension for each rank ; and what plans he has to increase the level.
Miss Widdecombe : Information regarding levels of war disablement pension is contained in leaflet MPL 154, a copy of which is available in the Library. For ranks above private the levels include rank additions : for most war pensioners these represent only a few pence a week but several pounds for some officers.
In order to simplify the war pensions scheme and provide a better service, rank additions will be abolished from April 1993. To ensure that no individual war pensioner will lose out as a result of the abolition the basic war disablement pension will be increased by 84p a week for non- commissioned officers and £5 for most officers.
Mrs. Joanna Rotas
Mr. Steen : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the progress of the application of Mrs. Joanna Rotas of Western Villas, Collins road, Totnes, south Devon, for (a) attendance allowance, made in October 1991 and (b) disability living allowance, made in March 1992 ; and when she can expect to learn whether these applications have been successful.
