The Prime Minister [holding answer 29 October 1992] : A stock of the text of the treaty of European union printed as Cm. 1934 is kept by the Vote Office and is available on demand by right hon. and hon. Members.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Prime Minister how many letters he has received since 15 October concerning the coal industry ; how many supported pit closures ; how many opposed pit closures ; how many telephone calls concerning the coal industry were made to his office ; how many callers supported pit closures ; and how many opposed pit closures.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 29 October 1992] : I have received a substantial number of representations about the coal industry.
Mr. Austin Mitchell : To ask the Prime Minister if he will make it his policy to take advantage of the provisions of article XIX of GAT to impose restrictions on imports of coal causing serious injury to domestic producers.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 29 October 1992] : The hon. Member will be aware that the President of the Board of Trade is now reviewing these matters.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Prime Minister when the bilateral investment committee between Her Majesty's Government and Colombia was established ; which British Ministers or departmental officials are represented on this committee ; and what subjects are being considered by the committee.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 29 October 1992] : When I visited Colombia in June, I agreed with President Gaviria to set up a trade facilitation group to encourage bilateral trade and investment. The group, which is led by business men and has no Ministerial involvement, held its first meeting on 29 September. One Department of Trade and Industry official, with responsibility for trade relations with Colombia, sits on the committee. The aims of the group are to encourage and suggest ways of increasing bilateral trade and investment across a wide range of sectors.

Mr. Austin Mitchell : To ask the Prime Minister if he will consider hiving off the economic section of the Treasury and that of the Bank of England to an independent council of economic advisers consisting of nine advisers representative of the different schools of economic thought, to be appointed in consultation with the political parties and the economics profession, to take written and oral evidence on matters relevant to their work, and to issue quarterly and annual reports on the performance and prospects for the British economy.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 30 October 1992] : I have no such intention. The hon. Member may be unaware that no other major country hives off its economic advice in the way suggested. Certainly in the United States, the Council of Economic Advisers is not a substitute for economic policy advice provided by Government Departments and the Federal Reserve all of which employ their own economists. It is vital that the Treasury and the Bank of England retain the capacity for giving high- quality economic advice. But the Government have always paid close attention to the views of independent commentators and analysts and will continue to do so. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced yesterday his intention to strengthen the process of outside consultation by establishing a panel of independent forecasters to report to him on the economic prospects.
Mr. O'Neill : To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his meeting on 10 June in Cartagena, Colombia with President Cesar Gaviria.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 30 October 1992] : I visited Colombia on 9 and 10 June. In my meetings with President Gaviria and his Ministers, we discussed a wide range of matters of mutual interest.
Mr. O'Neill : To ask the Prime Minister what British assistance has been given or promised for Colombia's exports of coal into the European Community during the British presidency.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 30 October 1992] : None.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Prime Minister what representations he has received from the Government of the Republic of Ireland concerning proposals by Her Majesty's Government to require EC nationals, travelling between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, to carry passports from next January ; if the Government of the Republic of Ireland have indicated that they intend to take reciprocal action ; and if he will make a statement.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 30 October 1992] : I have received no such representations. We have made no proposals to amend the common travel area between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Column 34
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how timber will be labelled to ensure that it is derived from sustainable sources.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : Reliable and effective labelling systems are at an early stage of development. The Overseas Development Administration is financing international work on incentives for sustainable timber production, including the viability of labelling schemes.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to ensure that tropical timber imported into the United Kingdom will be derived from only sustainable sources by the year 2000.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The key to a sustainable timber trade lies in the sustainable management of forests. Our policy is to work for the negotiation and implementation of international forestry agreements to provide a framework for the sustainable management and use of forest resources ; to help to identify practical and effective incentives to curb deforestation and promote reafforestation ; to encourage and assist with the adoption of national guidelines and best practices in developing countries ; to assist countries develop their policies and capacities by financing projects including research, conservation, institution building and sustainable harvesting of forest resources.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the Overseas Development Administration's bilateral aid programme specifically deals with combating the adverse effects on tropical rain forests stemming from unsustainable and unplanned cultivation.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : In 1991-92 the ODA spent some £18 million, or 2 per cent. of bilateral aid, on forestry projects. Present estimates are that aid for forestry will increase to around £35 million this financial year, about 4 per cent. of bilateral aid. Information on aid specifically related to combating the adverse effects of unsustainable agriculture on tropical rainforests is not held centrally. We also help reduce pressure on rainforests through work in other sectors, such as improving the productivity of tropical agriculture and helping reduce population growth rates.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what he considers to be the main agents of tropical rain forest destruction.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The main cause of tropical rain forest destruction is conversion of forest land to agriculture. Others include unsustainably managed timber production, fire, mining, and industrial and infrastructure developments. Pressures from overgrazing by livestock and fuel wood collection are also significant problems in the dry tropical forests.
Column 35
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when proposals for the 10th replenishment of the International Development Association will be laid before Parliament.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : Subject to the successful completion of the present negotiations, the Government would expect to seek parliamentary approval for our contribution to IDA's 10th replenishment early next year.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures are taken to ensure that the full range of potential social and environmental impacts are adequately considered prior to the approval of projects funded by the World bank.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The World bank prepares a paper based on its policy guidelines, which are published, containing a full assessment of any significant social and environmental impact of a planned project well in advance of executive board consideration. This assessment is circulated to members of the board and is available to non-governmental organisations in the country concerned.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the Government's policy on reporting its views and voting position on World bank projects.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The proceedings of the World bank board's consideration of projects are confidential, in order not to inhibit full and frank discussion in the board.
Ms. Harman : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current value in sterling of the 10 billion ecu loan and what it was on 14 September.
Column 36
Mr. Nelson : The Government announced on 3 September their intention to borrow an amount equivalent to 10 billion ecu in foreign currencies. Five billion ecu equivalent of the announced borrowing was drawn down in the revolving credit facility in September, with the remaining 5 billion ecu to be raised subsequently.
The value in sterling at 4 pm on 29 October of 5 billion ecu was £4.06 billion. The value in sterling on 14 September was £3.59 billion. However, the sterling value when the borrowing comes to be repaid will depend on the sterling exchange rate at that time.
Mr. Austin Mitchell : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing for Germany, France and the United Kingdom the increase in gross domestic product less North sea oil and gas, the increase in manufacturing output and the increase in unemployment in the decade 1979 to 1989.
Mr. Nelson : Data for the period 1979-89 for GDP and manufacturing output in France and Germany can be found in the OECD's "National Accounts Volume II." Data for United Kingdom non-oil GDP and for manufacturing output can be found on the Central Statistical Office database. Unemployment figures can be found in the OECD's labour force statistics.
Mr. Redmond : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list by grade and number employed, the staffing costs for the year 1991-92 and the estimate for 1992-93 for the financial services division.
Mr. Nelson : The financial services division transferred from the Department of Trade and Industry to the Treasury on 7 June 1992. It is now called the securities and investment services group. The figures given in the table are based on average staff in post in 1991-92 and during the first three months of 1992-93. The staff costs include pay and earnings- related national insurance contributions.

Column 37
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list all of the reports his Department has commissioned from external consultants in each of the last three years ; for each of the last three years, how many reports from external consultants to his Department led to further consultancy work being commissioned, stating for each of these who were the original and subsequent consultants and briefly describing the subject matter of the consultancy work ; and if he will make a statement.
Sir John Cope : The information is not readily available in the form requested. To produce the data in this format would involve disproportionate time and cost.
Mr. Spellar : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the Government's position regarding the possible imposition of value added tax on charities after 1997.
Sir John Cope : Agreement has been reached that the United Kingdom's zero rates, including those specifically designed to benefit charities and charity shops, can be maintained until at least 1997 without prejudice to their future thereafter. Any new agreement will require a unanimous decision by the Council of Ministers. There is, therefore, no question of the United Kingdom being forced to implement unwelcome proposals from 1 January 1997 and we have no plans to alter these provisions.
Mr. David Porter : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a list of public expenditure under all headings, and known income of the United Kingdom, of membership of the Common Market for each year since the year of joining ; and if he will make a statement.
Sir John Cope : The United Kingdom's contributions to and receipts from the European Community budget for the years 1973 to 1991 together with the forecast for 1992 as published in the "Statement on the 1992 Community budget" Cm. 1948, in June are given in the table :

Mr. Streeter : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what studies have been made by his Department of the cost-effectiveness of rival proposals by the managements of Rosyth and Devonport dockyards for the refitting of Britain's nuclear submarines.
Mr. Portillo : The Ministry of Defence, in consultation with the Treasury and other Government Departments, is considering future requirements for ship refitting and repair. Options under consideration include proposals put forward by each of the royal dockyard management companies. The final decision will take into account all relevant factors, including cost-effectiveness.
Mr. Andrew Smith : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many VAT inspection visits are currently planned for the year 1993-94 ; what was the figure announced in 1991 ; and what are the reasons for the change.
Sir John Cope : Current plans are for 300,000 VAT control visits in 1993-94, against a figure of 540,000 envisaged in the 1991-92 management plan. The reduction can largely be attributed to the Department's move towards fewer but longer and more thorough visits.
Mr. Andrew Smith : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state for the VAT inspection control programme for year 1991-92 (a) the number of staff years used, (b) the running costs, (c) the additional tax discovered and (d) the unit cost ratio of cost to revenue.
Sir John Cope : In 1991-92 a total of 5,461 staff years were used on VAT control visiting, and running costs amounted to £126.8 million. A total of £1,464 million was discovered as gross additional liabilities, producing a unit cost--pence per £--of 8.7. Over declarations of £500 million were also identified, giving net additional liability of £964 million producing a unit cost--pence per £--of 13.2.
Mr. Andrew Smith : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much on average each VAT inspector raised in additional VAT liability in the last financial year ; and what is the average cost of employing a VAT inspector.
Sir John Cope : In 1991-92 each VAT control officer identified on average about £270,000 in gross additional liability and £90,000 in over-declarations made by traders. The average running cost involved in employing each officer was around £23,000.
Mr. Andrew Smith : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many staff years are planned for VAT control visiting for the year 1993-94.
Column 39
Sir John Cope : Current plans are for 5,562 staff years for VAT control visiting in 1993-94.
Mr. Onslow : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the total cost to public funds of the publication of the annual reports of HM Customs and Excise executive units.
Sir John Cope [holding answer 30 October 1992] : HM Customs and Excise estimate that the total cost of printing and distributing the 1991-92 reports of the 30 executive units was £45,800.
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much assistance the United Kingdom will qualify for under the EC's proposed cohesion fund through having a gross national product which is less than 90 per cent. of the EC average.
Sir John Cope [holding answer 30 October 1992] : The cohesion fund envisaged in the Maastricht treaty will be a structural fund ; and the method of calculating relative wealth for these funds is to use purchasing power parities. The United Kingdom would not qualify for any assistance from the cohesion fund on that basis.
Column 40
Mr. Steen : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to receive a reply from French customs regarding their treatment of the vessel MV Maureen owned by Mike and Penny Rowley ; and how long after receiving the French reply he would expect to publish a full report on the inquiries by British Customs and Excise.
Sir John Cope [holding answer 30 October 1992] : HM Customs and Excise have now received a reply from the French authorities. I will be writing to my hon. Friend very shortly.
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the United Kingdom's gross national product was the European average gross national product each year since 1979.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 30 October 1992] : Figures in respect of gross domestic product per head of the population at current prices and current purchasing power parities with respect to the Community are published by Eurostat in table R.2 on page 103 of its publication "National Accounts ESA aggregates 1970-1990"--theme 2 series C. Copies of this publication are available in the House of Commons Library.
Column 41
Mr. Richards : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what proportion of the United Kingdom's EC agricultural budget is spent on administration ;
(2) what proportion of the total EC agriculture budget is spent on administration.
Mr. Curry : The administration costs of providing support under the common agricultural policy are the responsibility of the member states and are not funded from the EC budget.
Mr. Pawsey : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the closure of abattoirs.
Mr. Soames : Since the relevant EC directive 91/497/EEC was adopted in July last year, my right hon. Friend the Minister and I have received some 120 letters about its potential impact on British abattoirs.
The question of closure of abattoirs in the south-west was raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Woodspring (Dr. Fox) in the Adjournment debate on 21 October 1992, Official Report, column 538.
Mr. Pawsey : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the impact of the new EC regulations on existing small abattoirs ; what action he will take to minimise the effects of such regulations ; and if he will monitor how the regulations are being adopted, implemented and supervised by each EC country.
Mr. Soames : The Fresh Meat (Hygiene and Inspection) Regulations, published on 10 September, extend to the domestic market the rules on the production and hygiene of meat which have existed for intra-Community trade since 1964. There is nothing in the regulations that is not in the EC directive or the existing Great Britain legislation and there are many areas where we have interpreted the directive as liberally as possible to minimise the compliance burden.
In addition, we successfully negotiated for extra time to be made available after 1992 for slaughterhouses which are committed to achieving the new structural standards and for less onerous requirements for low throughput premises.
The abattoir industry has been rationalising steadily during the last 20 years. Slaughterhouse numbers have fallen from 1,890 in 1972 to some 600 now. It is clear that the trend towards fewer but larger and more efficient slaughterhouses would continue irrespective of the new legislation.
Each member state is required to implement the EC directive by 1 January 1993. The Commission has a team of inspectors who visit all member states to check compliance. If there is substantive evidence that another member state is failing to apply the rules correctly, I am ready to take these issues up with the Governments concerned and, when necessary, the Commission.
Column 42
Mr. Austin Mitchell : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to incorporate his oral undertaking of 14 July, Official Report, column 1027, concerning the circumstances in which days at sea limitations will be proposed to Parliament, into the Sea Fish Conservation Bill.
Mr. Curry : I refer the hon. Gentleman to the statement made by the Parliamentary Secretary to my Department in another place on 26 October :
"I intend to introduce an amendment to the Bill at a later stage which will require the Government to make an affirmative resolution order each time they intend to make overall reductions in days at sea allocations."--[ Official Report, House of Lords, 26 October 1992 ; Vol. 539, c. 914.]
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what advice his Department has given to fish farmers on the potential impact of ozone depletion on fish stocks in United Kingdom waters ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) if he will estimate the effect on crop production in the United Kingdom of levels of ozone depletion expected under current United Kingdom proposals for phase-out dates of ozone-depleting chemicals ; and if he will make a statement ;
(3) what assessment his Ministry has made of which crops commonly grown in the United Kingdom are most sensitive to UV-B radiation ; and if he will make a statement ;
(4) what advice his Department has given to farmers on the potential impact of ozone depletion on (a) animal health and (b) crops ; and if he will make a statement ;
(5) what research is being carried out, or is planned by his Department, on the effects of ozone depletion on (a) animal health and (b) crop yield ; and if he will make a statement ;
(6) what Ministry recording schemes are in existence, or are planned, for conditions in farmed fish and farm animals which are associated with UV-B ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Curry : The Department is very conscious of the potential relevance to global and United Kingdom agricultural production of an increase in the level of UV-B radiation. It is not possible to make sensible estimates of the effects of an increase, however, as the research base on UV-B and plants and natural ecosystems is far from well-developed. To help develop our understanding the Government partially funded an international meeting of specialists at Lancaster university earlier in the year on "stratospheric ozone depletion and UV-B effects on biota". In addition, building on work undertaken by the Department of the Environment, this Department is carefully considering the possibility of further research specifically into the effects of UV-B radiations on crops and on eggs and larvae of commercially important fish species. On the basis of current knowledge, there is no need to issue specific advice to farmers and fish farmers but we will keep the matter under review.
Column 43
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of (a) red meat animals and (b) poultry which are electrically stunned in slaughterhouses are stunned with currents intended to induce cardiac arrest at stunning.
Mr. Gummer : The information is not available.
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many market visits were made by local veterinary inspectors in each year since 1985.
Mr. Gummer : Statistics are available for the last five years. The number of visits made were :
Mr. Redmond : To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list all the names of public appointments that he has made, giving the period for which the appointment was made, relevant qualifications of the appointees and what remuneration each currently receives.
Sir Patrick Mayhew The following are the names of all public appointments I have made since becoming Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The period of each appointment is also shown. In making public appointments the prime consideration is the appointees' ability or potential to contribute to the work of the particular body to which they are appointed. Details relating to the remuneration each currently receives are readily available in "Public Bodies and Public Appointments : A Handbook for Women's Organisations", copies of which are in the library.
