Grant-maintained Schools Centre
Mr. Anthony Coombs : To ask the Secretary of State for Education for what purposes the Government intend in future to fund the Grant-Maintained Schools Centre.
Mr. Patten : Government grant to the Grant-Maintained Schools Centre will continue to support certain activities related to schools once approved for grant-maintained status. In addition, I now intend that it should be available to support the dissemination of factual information about grant-maintained status. The Grant-Maintained Schools Centre will be bound by the same code of practice as it is proposed should apply to local education authority officers and which is currently under discussion with them. In the meantime, the Grant-Maintained Schools Centre will be bound by the draft code which is the basis for discussion : copies are being deposited in the Libraries of both Houses.
Somerset University
Mr. Bayley : To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to his answer of 15 February, Official Report, column 52, if he will give the date upon which he gave his consent to the use of the name "Somerset University"; and if he will publish the document in which his consent is recorded.
Mr. Boswell : I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for York (Mr. Bayley) on 23 February, Official Report, column 509.
Education Authorities (Political Control)
Mr. Pawsey : To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many local education authorities are Conservative controlled.
Mr. Forth : Conservatives are the majority party on 26 local education authorites in England.
Teachers' Salaries
Mr. French : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the average classroom teacher's salary inclusive of incentive allowances and incremental enhancements for each education authority in England.
Mr. Forth : The table shows the average salary of standard scale teachers in the maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools sector on 31 March 1990. The figures are based on the actual salaries paid to teachers including incentive allowances, London allowances, and other discretionary payments. More recent figures are not yet available separately for each LEA. The 1992 new earnings survey recorded the average earnings of all school teachers in England and Wales, including head and deputy head teachers, as £20,498.

TRANSPORT
Air Pollution
Mrs. Wise : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he will take to reduce the levels of nitrogen oxides and improve air quality in urban areas.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : An emissions test was included in the MOT test in November 1991. Tough European Community standards for new cars were introduced on 1 January. This has meant the fitting of catalytic converters to most new petrol-engined cars. A typical vehicle equipped with a catalyst in good condition will reduce its emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen by about 90 per cent. Since 1 September 1992 there has been a metered smoke test in the annual test for heavy diesels. A range of measures is also being implemented to cut traffic congestion and pollution through better traffic management, parking controls and improved public transport. The Department of Transport is also carrying out a wide-ranging study of urban traffic congestion, including the possible role of road pricing.
Regulations
Mr. Sproat : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 8 February, Official Report, column 418, if he has now finished compiling and has checked for accuracy and consistency of definition the comprehensive provisional list of regulations for which his Department is responsible ; and when he intends to place the list in the Library.
Mr. Norris : Work is proceeding as quickly as possible on checking my Department's list of regulations affecting business. A consolidated list of regulations for all
Column 146
Departments will be compiled by the central deregulation unit of the Department of Trade and Industry and placed in the Library as soon as possible.Railway Lines, North-west
Mr. Pickthall : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will make a statement about the future of the Carnforth-Barrow and Barrow-Carlisle Cumbrian coast railway lines ;
(2) if he will make a statement about the future of the Wigan-Southport and the Ormskirk-Preston railway lines.
Mr. Freeman : Our policy is to franchise the operation of all British Rail's passenger services to the private sector. Each franchise will be based upon the timetable operated by British Rail just prior to its commencement. In the meantime, decisions about services on individual lines remain a matter for British Rail.
Free Flight Offers
Mr. Nigel Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of the President of the Board of Trade on 15 December 1992, Official Report, column 147, on guidelines on free flight offers, what progress has been made in the Government's consideration of the Civil Aviation Authority's proposal on a statutory financial protection scheme to reimburse scheduled passengers in the event of an airline collapsing.
Mr. Norris : The position remains as indicated in the answer of 15 December. Primary legislation would be needed to implement such a financial protection scheme and will necessarily depend on there being an opportunity to introduce such legislation.
Railways (Crimes)
Mr. Gapes : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many crimes against the person and robberies were committed on the Liverpool Street to Romford line stations and trains over the past five years.
Mr. Norris : Figures are not readily available for years before 1991. Figures for crimes against the person on stations and trains between Liverpool Street and Romford in 1991 and 1992 are as follows :
|1991|1992
---------------------------------
Robberies |31 |31
Sexual offences |17 |13
Assaults |34 |30
Theft from person |37 |50
Other |314 |359
|--- |---
Total |433 |483
Road Tolls
Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what issues other than revenue raising and reduction of congestion will be included in his consideration of further road tolls.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : My right hon. Friend plans to publish by the early summer a Green Paper which will discuss the basis of charging for the use of inter-urban
Column 147
roads and all the issues arising from that. Reaction to the Green Paper will be an important consideration in developing policy in this area.Road Accidents (Children)
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures are being taken to reduce the number of children killed and injured outside schools by motorists ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : The Department has introduced a wide range of engineering, educational and publicity measures to reduce the number of children who are killed or injured on the roads. These were outlined in our 1990 policy document "Children and Roads : A Safer Way". In particular trials are being conducted of variable speed limits outside schools on busy trunk roads.
Exhaust Emissions
Ms Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 16 February, Official Report, columns 150-51, if he will give consideration to compensating engineering companies and garages in respect of the development and purchase of equipment to undertake the off-road testing of diesel exhaust emissions to comply with the new regulations ; and if he will estimate the costs involved.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : The suspension of the metered check of diesel smoke is only temporary and it is my intention to reinstate it at the earliest opportunity. Consequently I do not consider that there is any case for offering compensation to equipment manufacturers. Equally, since owners of diesel-engined vehicles still have to go to MOT testing stations which have been authorised to test diesels where excessive smoke continues to be checked by eye, garages with smoke meters are not losing any fee income during the period of suspension.
Mr. Llwyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action has been taken since 1 April 1991 in response to complaints about smokey vehicles ; how many operators have been required to have vehicles tested at a testing station ; and how many prohibition notices and operator license variations have been issued as a result.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : Since April 1991 the vehicle inspectorate has asked some 3,000 vehicle operators to check vehicles for excessive smoke, following complaints. Most operators have responded positively to these requests and have taken steps, where appropriate, to remedy defects. A follow-up vehicle inspection has been necessary only in a relatively few cases. I am not aware of any complaint which has resulted in the issue of a prohibition notice or action against an operator's licence. A vehicle would be inspected at a testing station only if that were necessary to clear a prohibition.
Cycle Routes
Ms Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the operation of the scheme launched in 1982 to promote cycle routes in five towns ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : Carefully designed cycle routes were implemented in the towns in the study under this
Column 148
scheme. Much was learnt about how to provide safe, good-quality routes and facilities and the technical lessons have already been published. These routes did not result in an increase in cycling and in particular did not attract people to cycle instead of using their cars. However, the routes did improve safety for cyclists, who tended to congregate on them. The final report will be published soon.Selby Bypass
Mr. Alison : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what stage has been reached in his departmental key event programme for the construction of the Selby bypass as published in September 1987 ; and what slippage has occurred.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : The 1987 White Paper categorised the proposed Selby bypass for construction from 1991 onwards. Preparatory works have since proceeded and, following a public inquiry, orders establishing the line and necessary alterations to side roads were made last month. We expect the next stage, which is the publication of the draft compulsory purchase order, to occur this summer.
Mr. Alison : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to be in a position to invite tenders for the construction of the Selby bypass and how soon thereafter to start work on the project.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : As statutory, financial and other procedures have still to be completed for the Selby bypass scheme, it is too early to give a firm date for when tenders could be invited. After the compulsory purchase order is published, the legal procedures allowing for objections, and possibly a public inquiry, have to be followed. Once this order is made it typically takes six to 12 months until we would be in a position to invite tenders. Works could be ready to start about six months later.
Road Accidents
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many pedestrians under the age of 16 years were killed or injured in road accidents in 1992.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : The latest available data, for 1991, show that 20,848 pedestrians under the age of 16 were killed or injured in road accidents.
Passenger Rolling Stock
Mr. Wilson : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what proposals there are to introduce new or newly constructed passenger rolling stock on the London, Tilbury and Southend line ; what is the estimated cost ; and when he expects it to be introduced ; (2) what action has been taken since 1988 to remove the danger of electrical explosions in the guard's vans and EMU rolling stock in operation on the London, Tilbury and Southend line ; what modifications to rolling stock are still to be carried out ; and what is the total cost of any modifications that have (a) been carried out and (b) are still to be carried out ;
(3) how many units in each class of electrical multiple unit rolling stock are in use on the London, Tilbury and Southend line ; what is the average age of each class of EMU ; and what is the average age of all the rolling stock in use on the line ;
Column 149
(4) how many and which class of electrical multiple unit operating on the London, Tilbury and Southend line are being used with the guard's brake and adjoining passenger accommodation locked out of use as a precaution against electrical explosions ;(5) on how many occasions since 1988 there have been explosions in the guard's vans and electrical multiple unit rolling stock operating on the London, Tilbury and Southend line ; and if he will give the date, class and EMU involved and the cause of the explosion for each incident.
Mr. Freeman : The number of units and the average age of the rolling stock in each class are as follows :
Class |Number of units |Average age (years) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 302 |30 |35 308 |27 |32 310 |37 |27 312 |14 |16
The overall average age of the fleet is 29 years.
There have been two explosions in the guard's vans of London, Tilbury and Southend line rolling stock since 1988. These occurred on 15 September and 11 October 1991, and involved a class 308 unit and a class 312 unit respectively. Both incidents were caused by failure of the high tension cable insulation.
I understand from British Rail that the necessary repairs to the class 310 and 312 units have been done, and work on class 302 and class 308 units should be completed later this month, at a total cost of around £125,000.
The guard's van and adjoining coach on each of the seven class 302 and class 308 units still to be repaired are currently locked out of use.
My right hon. Friend and I have asked British Rail to tell us by Easter what rolling stock it wishes to lease using the £150 million leasing facility announced at the time of the autumn statement, and for which routes. Rolling stock for the London, Tilbury and Southend line is one of the options.
Mr. John Greenway : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proportion of new rolling stock to be ordered by British Rail over the coming year is planned to be awarded to ABB York.
Mr. Freeman : Orders for new rolling stock are awarded by British Rail following competitive tendering in accordance with the EC utilities directive [90/531/EEC].
Jubilee Line
Mr. John Greenway : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport to which company the contract for building the new Jubilee line rolling stock will be awarded.
Mr. Norris : This is a matter for London Underground Ltd., which I know will not make a statement until a contract is signed.
Biofuels
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what assessment he has made of the relative polluting effects on the environment of biofuels compared with those of petrol or diesel ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) what plans he has to encourage the wider availability of and increased use of bioethanol and rape methyl ester as a substitute for petrol or diesel ;
Column 150
(3) what plans he has to encourage the wider availability of and increased use of blended biodiesel and bioethanol blends as substitutes for petrol or diesel.Mr. Kenneth Carlisle [holding answer 15 March 1993] : The Department is sponsoring research assessing the environmental, operational and cost implications of a range of alternative road transport fuels including biofuels. This includes a study exploring the feasibility of conducting limited in-service field trials of alternative fuels. The series of linked reports should be complete by mid 1993. In addition the Department is carrying out emission tests on a separate biodiesel trial being conducted by Reading Buses. While, in principle, biofuels offer the possibility of reduced carbon dioxide emissions, the case in terms of other emissions is not clear cut ; and the cost of biofuels is very high. I am waiting for the outcome of the work currently under way. I have no plans, therefore, to encourage wider availability and use of biofuels at this stage.
ENVIRONMENT
Major Accident Hazards
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what communications he has received recently from the European Commission in regard to EC directive 82/501/EEC on major accident hazards of certain industrial activities.
Mr. Maclean : The United Kingdom received a letter from the European Commission acting under article 169, dated 18 February 1993, concerning the application of EC directive 82/501/EEC to a waste disposal incinerator in Gwent owned by ReChem International. The Department is currently considering this matter and a response will be made within the time limit set by the Commission.
Correspondence
Mr. Home Robertson : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to reply to the letter dated 28 January from the hon. Members for East Lothian and for Durham, North-West (Ms Armstrong) requesting a meeting to discuss problems in the cement industry, which was transferred to his Department from the Department of Trade and Industry on 22 February.
Mr. Baldry : I refer the hon. Member to my letter to him dated 15 March.
Regulations
Mr. Sproat : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 12 February, Official Report, column 831, if he has now finished compiling and has checked for accuracy and consistency of definition the comprehensive provisional list of regulations for which his Department is responsible ; and when he intends to place the list in the Library.
Mr. Howard : Work is proceeding as quickly as possible on checking my Department's list of regulations affecting business. It will be placed in the Library as soon as possible.
Column 151
Housing
Mr. Straw : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what percentage of dwellings of each housing association registered with the Housing Corporation is (a) available for let, (b) to be let after minor repairs, (c) to be let after major repairs, (d) to be sold, (e) awaiting demolition and (f) unlet for any reason ; and if he will give the national average for each category ; (2) if he will list in rank order the percentage of dwellings available for letting but unlet for each housing association registered with the Housing Corporation, with an average for all associations.
Mr. Howard : Statistics on dwellings owned and managed by registered housing associations are collected by the Housing Corporation, which publishes annually figures for England as a whole. The information that is available at national average level, as at the end of March 1992, is as follows :
|Percentage|Percentage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Dwellings under letting |97.5
(ii) Vacant and available for letting |1.1
(of which:
-requiring minor repair |0.4)
(iii) Vacant and not available for letting
|(of which:
-awaiting or undergoing works |1.2
-awaiting sale |0.1
-other |0.1)
I shall ask the Housing Corporation to write to the hon. Member with information about individual housing associations.
Mr. Henderson : To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the amounts of local authority housing capital provision for each of the last five years for each standard region of England and in total.
Mr. Baldry : I refer the hon. Member to my answer on 27 January 1993, Official Report, column 778 to the hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Milburn).
