Written Answers to Questions
Wednesday 13 January 1993
HOME DEPARTMENT
Probation Service
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to ensure that the probation service can respond to the employment needs of offenders under its supervision.
Mr. Jack : I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to him on 11 January, at column 600 .
Immigration
Mr. Vaz : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what research he has conducted into the economic benefits to the United Kingdom of the arrival of the migrant communities in the last 20 years.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : The Home Department has not undertaken any research on this subject.
Mr. Vaz : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has to commission research into the economic effects of the migrant communities on the United Kingdom economy.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : I have no proposals to commission research on this subject.
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when instructions were sent to the post in Islamabad to issue entry clearance to Mr. Jahir Mahmood--Ref. TH/41452/91--to join his wife in the United Kingdom ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Charles Wardle [holding answer 17 December 1992] : Following the immigration appeal tribunal's refusal on 24 November 1992 of an application for leave to appeal against the adjudicator's decision to allow Mr. Mahmood's appeal, instructions to issue an entry clearance were sent on 10 December 1992 to the entry clearance officer in Islamabad. These instructions were repeated on 7 January 1993 when it was discovered that the earlier papers had not then reached the entry clearance officer.
Passport Control
Ms. Gordon : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about preliminary passport checks conducted on the tarmac as passengers step off the plane at Heathrow airport ; (a) how long this system has been in operation and (b) how extensive it is ; and to what extent he proposes to institute the scheme at other airports.
Mr. Charles Wardle : Heathrow and Gatwick airport immigration officers attend some arriving aircraft to check for any passengers who may seek entry without proper
Column 730
documents. This is to ensure that the flight on which such a passenger arrives is identified and that any charge which may arise under the Immigration (Carriers' Liability) Act 1987 is correctly attributed. Such checks are conducted only infrequently at other airports. They have been conducted for this purpose since 1987, although it has long been the practice for immigration officers to observe the arrival of selected flights.HEALTH
Electoral Registration
Ms. Jowell : To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many adults appear on the electoral register in each of the London boroughs.
Mr. Sackville : The information requested is shown in the table.

Mental Illness
Mr. Brazier : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions she has had with the Royal College of Psychiatrists about new legal provisions for mentally ill people in the community ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Blunkett : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to seek to amend the Mental Health Act 1983 ; and if she will make a statement.
Mrs. Virginia Bottomley : The Royal College of Psychiatrists has recommended that the Mental Health Act 1983 should be amended to incorporate a community supervision order. The college proposes that this should apply to a small group of patients who are repeatedly admitted to hospital under sections 3 or 37 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and who require long-term support and supervision in the community, but are known to have a history of failing to cooperate with treatment.
I welcome the college's proposals as a constructive contribution to the debate about how mentally ill people can most effectively be helped and looked after in the community. Services for the mentally ill in the community have expanded rapidly in recent years and they represent an increasing proportion of the £2 billion budget annually spent on the mentally ill by health and social services departments. But we do need to address, as a priority, whether we are doing enough to ensure that these vulnerable people keep in contact with the services available.
I have recently had discussions on this subject with the college and with a number of other professional and voluntary organisations. I have asked my officials to consider urgently, in the light of the college's proposals, whether new legal powers are needed to ensure that mentally ill people in the community get the care they need, whether the present legal powers in the 1983 Mental Health Act are being used as effectively as they can be, and what action could be taken in advance of any new legislation to ensure that they are. This work will be taken forward urgently by a small departmental team. It will take full account of the views which outside interests have expressed to me. They and others concerned with services for mentally ill people will be consulted about the work as it develops. My officials will be keeping in close touch with the other Departments concerned including those in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The team will be reporting regularly to Ministers and I am asking them to complete their work within six months.
British Medical Association
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Health what consultations she has had with, and what representations from, the British Medical Association concerning hospital bed closures and cancelling operating sessions ; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Sackville : The Department holds regular meetings with professional representative bodies, including the British Medical Association and the royal colleges. The problems being experienced by a minority of hospitals in scheduling their contracted work evenly over the financial year have been raised recently. Where such problems are occurring they are being resolved by local managers with help, where necessary, from their regional health authority.
Column 732
Computer Games
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will institute a research programme into photosensitive epilepsy in children and the effects of computer games as trigger mechanisms.
Dr. Mawhinney : We have no plans for a research programme into photosensitive epilepsy in children. There is a well-established association between certain types of flashing light and epileptic seizures in children known to have photosensitive epilepsy or potential sufferers who for a variety of reasons have not yet been identified. The need for specific action in relation to the information and advice available to users of computer games is a matter for my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade.
ENVIRONMENT
Tree Preservation Orders
Mr. Pickthall : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has for making tree preservation orders more effective ; and what consultations he has had to consider tougher penalties for those who flout tree preservation orders.
Mr. Maclean [holding answer 11 January 1993] : The system of tree preservation legislation has proved its value over the years. However, we are reviewing its general effectiveness and last year introduced substantially increased penalties for contravention of tree preservation orders. On summary conviction, the maximum fine for felling, uprooting or destroying a protected tree is now £20,000, and in determining the fine to be imposed magistrates are required to have regard to the financial benefits which may accrue to the offender in consequence of the offence.
Acid Rain
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the sites of special scientific interest damaged by acid rain in the latest year for which figures are available and give the hectarage of each site of special scientific interest affected.
Mr. Maclean [holding answer 12 January 1993] : The information is not available in the form requested. However, a recent study identified 46 sites of special scientific interest in England as being affected to some degree by acid rain. Details of freshwaters affected by acid rain are set out in the report Rimes C. (1992), "Freshwater acidification on SSSIs in Great Britain. I Overview and II England"-- English nature science volumes 1 and 2. A copy of this report has been placed in the Library of the House.
Heritage Coasts
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many kilometres of coast in England have been designated as heritage coasts ; and what proportion this is of the total coastline.
Mr. Maclean [holding answer 11 January 1993] : Since 1973, some 1,450 km of the English and Welsh coastline has been defined as heritage coast. This is approximately one third of the coastline of England and Wales.
Column 733
TRANSPORT
Speed Limits
Mr. Clifton-Brown : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has completed his review of the criteria for setting speed limits ; and when he expects to publish his policy document on speed.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : We have today published a new circular--roads 1/93--on the criteria for setting speed limits, which offers greater flexibility in setting speed limits, and a policy document "Killing Speed and Saving Lives". Both these documents make a significant contribution to the process of reducing actual speeds and casualties. Copies of both have been placed in the Library of the House.
Public Transport (Capital Works)
Mr. Lester : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what allocations will be made from his Department in 1993-94 to allow local authorities to undertake public transport capital works.
Mr. Freeman : In addition to the allocations for measures to promote bus use announced on 15 December, Official Report columns 134-35, we shall be making available £119.7 million for local authority public transport capital works in 1993-94.
The allocations are as follows.

Baggage Reconciliation
Mr. Dalyell : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy over implementation of the 1993 EC baggage reconciliation directives.
Mr. Steven Norris [holding answer 11 January 1993] : Council regulation (EEC) No. 3925/91 and Commission regulation (EEC) No. 1823/92 concern the elimination of Customs controls and formalities applicable to the cabin and hold baggage of persons taking an intra-Community flight or making an intra-Community sea crossing. One of the detailed rules laid down in the Commission regulation was that hold baggage registered in a Community airport was to be identified by means of a green edged tag with specified technical
characteristics. The Commission regulation also required each member state to provide the Commission with a list of airports approved for air traffic with third countries--"international community airports". The regulations are binding in their entirety and are directly applicable in all member states. They applied from 1 January 1993. The Commission discussed its detailed proposals about baggage tags with the International Air Transport Association and other organisations, and Customs and Excise and my Department discussed the implementation of the rule with United Kingdom airlines and airports. Customs and Excise have notified the Commission of 34 international Community airports in the United Kingdom and have subsequently added Ronaldsway, Isle of Man, to the list. My Department has recently written to all airlines operating in the United Kingdom to remind them of the baggage tagging requirement.
NATIONAL HERITAGE
Scottish Arts Council
Mr. Darling : To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what was the budget of the Scottish Arts Council in 1991-92 and 1992-93.
Mr. Brooke : The Scottish Arts Council's grants from the Arts Council of Great Britain were £19,693,000 and £22,691,000 in 1991 -92 and 1992-93 respectively. In addition to these grants, the Scottish Arts Council received further income, from various sources, of £183, 000 in 1991-92 and £149,000 in 1992-93.
Radio Authority Licences
Mr. Robert Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage how many licences the Radio Authority has issued since they were established ; and how far the undertakings invested in them have been complied with.
Mr. Brooke : By 11 January 1993, the Radio Authority had awarded two licences for national services, 25 local licences, 419 restricted service licences, eight licences for licensable sound programme services and 11 satellite licences. The authority also licensed 126 local radio services which had earlier operated under contract to the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
The authority considers all written complaints about programming, advertising and transmission aspects of independent radio services and publishes a quarterly complaints bulletin.
Column 735
Royal Scottish Academy
Mr. Dalyell : To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what lessons from the Windsor castle fire he has transmitted to the authorities of the Royal Scottish Academy.
Mr. Brooke [holding answer 11 January 1993] : None, so far. As I told the House on 7 December, Official Report, column 579, in the light of the fire at Windsor castle I am setting up an inquiry to assess the adequacy of fire protection measures for the royal palaces for which my Department has a financial responsibility. The report of the inquiry will be published and I shall ensure that it is made widely available.
Departmental Property
Mr. Straw : To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will list (a) the total number of residential properties owned by his Department, (b) the number of such properties which are empty and (c) , (b) as a percentage of (a).
Mr. Key [holding answer 11 January 1993] : (a) My Department manages 156 residential properties of which 12 are owned. (b) Eight of the owned properties are empty while awaiting remodelling and renovation works. (c) 66 per cent. of the owned properties are unoccupied.
TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Kasakhstan
Mr. French : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the value of trade between the United Kingdom and Kasakhstan ; and what is his estimate of the value of trade between each EC member state and Kasakhstan.

Phosphate
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what importation of phosphate was undertaken by the United Kingdom annually for each year since 1982.
Mr. Needham : Comprehensive statistics on the imports of phosphates are not available. Imports of phosphate are recorded under a large number of categories according to the type of phosphate and its function. The table gives the total figures for the imports of the three largest groups of phosphates : superphosphates, diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate, for each year since 1982.

New Business Development
Mr. Elletson : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assessment his Department has made of the relative potential for new business development by British firms in each of the countries of the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe ; and what comparisons he has made with similar assessments of other regions of the world.
Mr. Needham : Within the whole area to which my hon. Friend refers we take the view that the best prospects for British exporters in most sectors other than oil and gas are to be found in Poland, Hungary and the Czech lands, although worthwhile opportunities are also being found in most of the other markets. In oil and gas we see the best prospects in Kasakhstan, Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation. Within the world as a whole we see the best all-round prospects in western Europe, north America and Asian parts of the Pacific rim.
Mr. Elletson : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what measures his Department is taking to encourage British firms to take the opportunities for new business developments in the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe.
Mr. Needham : My Department provides a comprehensive range of services to assist United Kingdom exporters and investors who are interested in the region, including support for outward missions--sometimes led ministerially--and participation in overseas trade fairs as well as the provision of general and specific information about the markets and opportunities. Information about export and consultancy projects under bilateral, EC and multilateral funded assistance programmes is also available and my Department encourages United Kingdom companies to exploit such opportunities.
Column 737
These services are available from the former Soviet Union, central and east Europe branch of my Department whose resources have been increased in response to the growing interest in these markets. Similarly, the British Overseas Trade Board's area advisory group, the East European Trade Council, has also had its resources augmented.Mr. Elletson : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what importance his Department attaches to the further development of commercial and economic relations with the countries of the Pacific rim ; and what measures his Department is taking to encourage British firms to develop new business there.
Mr. Needham : The Asia Pacific rim, like Europe and north America, is a top priority for my Department's trade promotion and market opening work. The region offers the best prospects worldwide for rapid, large-scale and sustained growth of imports and investment. United Kingdom business has a strong position in parts of the region but needs to do much more particularly in such large, growth markets as Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand. The region accounts for 8 per cent. of our exports and 6.5 per cent. of our overseas investment. It is the Department's objective to raise this substantially. To that end, 18 per cent. of our overseas trade staff are allocated to work on the region, as well as a substantial proportion of our promotional budget. I have visited the region three times in the past nine months. My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, the chairman of the British Overseas Trade Board and I plan more visits to the region this year, mainly with groups of business men. We continue to make a special drive on the Japanese market, through the Priority Japan campaign. We have just held the largest-ever United Kingdom trade promotion in China, involving over 90 business men, and are following it up vigorously. We are also running intensive trade promotion campaigns to pursue opportunities in the other promising markets of the region.
This promotional work is led by business men active in these markets who give their time voluntarily. To focus their contributions more effectively the BOTB has set up a new promotional body covering most of the region's markets, the Asia Pacific Advisory Group, and the equivalent bodies for Japan and China have reorganised. Details of their work are published in the annual forward plan of the BOTB. In summary, in the financial year 1993 -94 we are planning some 68 outward and inward VIP visits, 50 promotional events in the United Kingdom, 217 DTI-supported missions, exhibitions, technical seminars and store promotions in the region and expect to deal with about 23, 000 inquiries from British business. In the next few months we will be intensifying this drive through the full-time secondment of experienced business men to the Department as export promoters. We are also working vigorously through multilateral and bilateral channels to improve business conditions in the region, particularly by working for the successful completion of the GATT Uruguay round. I should be glad to consider additional proposals for intensifying our efforts in these markets, within the resources available to my Department.
Column 738
Public Houses
Mr. Nigel Jones : To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many breweries have complied with the Supply of Beer (Tied Estates) Order 1989--SI 1989 No. 2390 ; what information his Department holds on the purchasers of public houses under the order ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Neil Hamilton : I understand from the Director General of Fair Trading that all the national brewers have complied with the Supply of Beer (Tied Estate) Order 1989, on the basis of information they have supplied to him. The statutory undertakings given by these brewers to provide the Director General with information to enable him to monitor compliance with the order do not require them to provide details of the purchasers of public houses that are sold. His office does, nevertheless, hold a significant amount of information provided voluntarily by the brewers and compiled from reports that have appeared in the trade press.
Mr. Nigel Jones : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what investigations his Department undertakes into the ownership of companies purchasing public houses from breweries en bloc ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Neil Hamilton : The Director General of Fair Trading is under a statutory duty to investigate sales of packages of public houses when these qualify as merger situations under the Fair Trading Act 1973. He has also made it clear that he will look very closely at all transactions involving supply agreements. Public houses owned by companies in which a national brewer has a shareholding of 15 per cent. or more, which are tied to that brewer's beer, would count towards its tied pub limit under the Supply of Beer (Tied Estate) Order 1989.
Electricity Generation
Mr. Nigel Jones : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the total number of tonnes of coal used to produce electricity in 1991 ; what tonnage was imported ; and what tonnage was British.
Mr. Eggar : The total amount of coal used to produce electricity in 1991 by the major generators was 82 million tonnes of which 7.3 million tonnes was imported. Other smaller, industrial generators used 2 million tonnes of coal to produce electricity in the same period, but data are not available to show how much of this was imported.
Mr. Nigel Jones : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the coal equivalent tonnage of natural gas used in 1991 to produce electricity.
Mr. Eggar : The amount of natural gas used by all generating companies in 1991 to produce electricity was 1.9 million tonnes of coal equivalent.
National Welsh Omnibus Services Ltd.
Mr. Morgan : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he has received the report of receivers KPMG Peat Marwick into the insolvency of the National Welsh bus company.
Mr. Neil Hamilton : The Secretary of State received reports on 8 January 1993 from the administrative
Column 739
receivers of National Welsh Omnibus Services Ltd., in respect of the conduct of the directors of that company, pursuant to section 7(3) of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.Mr. Morgan : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will institute an inquiry into the financial propriety of the directors of National Welsh bus company in the period leading up to the company's receivership at the end of 1991.
Mr. Neil Hamilton : It is not my Department's policy to comment on the affairs of individual companies. If the hon. Member has information to suggest that an inquiry would be appropriate, my officials will be pleased to consider any information forwarded in the usual manner.
Warren Spring Laboratory
Mr. Hague : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what performance targets he has set for 1992-93 for the Warren Spring Laboratory executive agency.
Mr. Leigh : Warren Spring Laboratory operates in a competitive market. Its primary performance target for 1992-93 continues to be the recovery of full economic cost through the charges it makes to customers. In addition, new secondary performance measures have been developed to supersede those agreed when the agency was originally established in 1989. For 1992-93 these are :
to recover full economic costs through charges made to customers ;
to achieve the net contribution to the Department set out in Supply Estimates of £362,000 ;
to win and complete business to the value of £13.6 million ; to gain National Measurement Accreditation
Service--NAMAS--accreditation for trace inorganic analytical chemistry services and the air quality calibration laboratory.
These targets will in future be reviewed annually as part of the corporate planning process.
Coal Review
Mr. Hague : To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many pieces of evidence have been submitted to his Department's coal review ; and what plans he has to make the evidence public.
Mr. Eggar : Evidence submitted by 327 individuals and organisations had been received by the coal review team by noon on Friday 8 January. Evidence has been copied to the Trade and Industry Select Committee as we have received it and copies have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses. In cases where those submitting evidence have provided it in confidence, we have sought their permission to pass it to the Select Committee, and where such permission has been given, have done so on a protected basis.
We have also now made the evidence, other than commercially confidential material, more widely available by placing copies in the following libraries where members of the public may call, by appointment, to read it : DTI library and information centre, Ashdown house, 123 Victoria street, London SW1E 6RB, telephone 071 215 4245/4250 ; DTI energy library and information centre, 1 Palace street, London SW1E 5HE, telephone 071 238 3042 ; Office of Electricity Regulation library, Hagley house, Hagley road, Birmingham B16 8QG, telephone 021 456 6378.
