DUCHY OF LANCASTER
Quangos
Mr. Grocott : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list the former Members of this House who have been appointed by his Department to quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations ; and if he will list in each case the title of the post, the salary, the duration of the appointment, and the party which the former hon. Member represented.
Mr. David Davis : No former Members of this House have been appointed by my right hon. Friend to the non-departmental public bodies for which he has had responsibility since the creation of his Department in April 1992.
TRANSPORT
Airports
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures are being taken to improve the services offered by major United Kingdom international airports ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Norris : The Government believe that increasing the scope for airport operators to respond to commercial pressures offers the best route for improving the services offered at all airports. This underlies the Government's policy of encouraging increased private sector involvement in the ownership and management of local authority-owned airports.
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many passengers used (a) Gatwick airport and (b) Heathrow airport in each year since 1979.
Mr. Norris : The numbers of passengers at (a) Gatwick airport and (b) Heathrow airport are shown in the table.
Terminal passengers at Heathrow and Gatwick 1979-92 Year |Gatwick (000) |Heathrow (000) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1979 |8,965 |27,979 1980 |9,703 |27,484 1981 |10,725 |26,411 1982 |11,155 |26,406 1983 |12,471 |26,767 1984 |13,953 |29,164 1985 |14,885 |31,310 1986 |16,309 |31,310 1987 |19,381 |34,743 1988 |20,744 |37,510 1989 |21,149 |39,587 1990 |21,043 |42,635 1991 |18,690 |40,245 1992 |19,842 |44,964
Private Aircraft
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many people flying in private aeroplanes have been killed in aviation accidents in United Kingdom air space in each year since 1987.
Mr. Norris : The Civil Aviation Authority's safety data analysis unit advises me that the number of people flying

Trust Ports
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what has been the total receipts from the privatisation of trust ports to date.
Mr. Norris : The total receipts to the Exchequer from the five ports privatised last year under the Ports Act 1991 was £169 million.
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to announce the timetable for privatisation of the next wave of trust ports.
Mr. Norris : I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 12 March, Official Report , column 769 . The power that the Secretary of State has under the Ports Act 1991, to require the larger trust ports, with a turnover above a specified threshold, to privatise themselves, will become available after 24 July 1993. The Secretary of State expects to make an announcement as soon as he has completed his consideration on the way in which he should use his power of compulsion.
All trust ports can use the Act at any time to take action to privatise themselves. Five have already done so, we hope more will follow.
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those trust ports with whom he has discussed privatisation.
Mr. Norris : The Secretary of State has not yet decided which trust ports he will formally consult, under the terms of the Ports Act 1991, in respect of his power to require privatisation.
Piracy
Mrs. Dunwoody : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many (a) merchant ships and (b) British-owned merchant ships have been victims of piracy or other attacks in the last five years.
Mr. Norris : Shipowners, flag states and coastal states are encouraged to report incidents of piracy and armed robbery against vessels to the International Maritime Organisation. When we are advised of incidents involving British ships we report them to IMO. However, there is no requirement in international law to report attacks and masters and shipowners can be reluctant to do so. As a result, records are incomplete.
Full information in the form requested is not available. The table, however, gives an indication of trends during the past five years on incidents of piracy affecting tankers.
Column 210
Year |All flags|UK flags ---------------------------------------- 1988 |5 |0 1989 |3 |0 1990 |3 |0 1991 |36 |2 1992 |22 |0
The Government are concerned about the under reporting of attacks. We have produced comprehensive advice in "Merchant Shipping Notice M1517" urging mariners to report any attack or attempted attack to the flag and coastal states concerned.
South China Sea
Mrs. Dunwoody : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will hold talks with the National Union of Marine, Aviation and Shipping Transport Officers about providing armed escorts for all British or commonwealth vessels passing through the South China sea.
Mr. Norris : We are willing to consider any representations from NUMAST and other shipping interests. We treat the problems in the South China sea very seriously indeed and hope that the matter can be solved through multilateral and bilateral co-operation. At the present time, we do not believe there is a need for armed escorts.
A1, Northumbria
Mr. Beith : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport at how many points between Morpeth and the Scottish border the A1 is currently reduced to one-way operation by temporary traffic lights ; how many of these interruptions result from works which will result in improvement to dual carriageway status ; and which of these interruptions will continue through the Scottish and English bank holiday weekends.
Mr. Key : The A1 is currently reduced to one-way operation by temporary traffic signals at the following five locations : Bockenfield, south of Felton ;
Brownieside, north of Alnwich ;
Detchant, north of Belford ;
Scremerston, south of Berwick ; and
Marshall Meadows, north of Berwick.
Of these, the works at Brownieside and Marshall Meadows will result in improvement to dual carriageway status.
Traffic signals will continue to operate at Bockenfield, Brownieside and Detchant for the Scottish bank holiday weekend. Arrangements have been made to remove all traffic signals for the English bank holiday weekend.
Central Line
Mr. Redmond : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what proposals he is considering in respect of an alternative public transport service between Epping and Ongar should London Transport close this part of the Central line ; and if he will make a statement ;
(2) if he will make a statement on the current situation in respect of the Central line service between Epping and Ongar.
Mr. Freeman : On 5 May 1993, London Underground Ltd. published notice of its intention to seek closure of the
Column 211
Central line between Epping and Ongar. Due to the Secretary of State's quasi-judicial role in the closure proceedings, it would not be appropriate for me to make any comments on the subject at this stage.Buses, Dorset
Mr. Denham : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many passenger miles were travelled by bus in Dorset in each year since 1988-89.
Mr. Freeman [holding answer 7 July 1993] : The Department does not collect information on passenger mileage from operators. National estimates are imputed from the passenger journey information collected in a survey and national estimates of average journey cost. The survey samples are selected to be representative at the national level and could not be used to produce county information.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Severe Hardship Payments
Mr. Simpson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what are the administration costs of the severe hardship payments.
Mr. Burt : The administration of income support is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Member and a copy will be placed in the Library. Letter from Michael Bichard to Mr. Alan Simpson, dated 7 July 1993 :
As Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency it is my responsibility to answer questions about relevant operational matters. I am therefore replying to your recent Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security asking what are the administration costs of the severe hardship payments.
For the financial year 1992-93 the administration costs of the Severe Hardship Claims Unit in Glasgow were £676,714.
Associated administration costs arise within the Benefits Agency District Offices. Those costs cannot be separately identified for the year 1992-93. However they are estimated at £1.5 million. I hope that you find this reply helpful. A copy will appear in the Official Report and a copy will also be placed in the Library.
Fraud, Blackpool
Mr. Elletson : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement about social security fraud in Blackpool.
Mr. Hague : The administration of benefit fraud is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to my hon. Friend and a copy will be placed in the Library. Letter from Michael Bichard to Mr. Harold Elletson, dated 7 July 1993 :
As Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency it is my responsibility to answer questions about relevant operational matters. I am therefore replying to your recent Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security requesting him to make a statement about social security fraud in Blackpool.
Column 212
The investigation of potentially fraudulent claims was reorganised in January 1991 when Fraud Sectors were formed.The Blackpool Sector covers an area on the Fylde coast North to Fleetwood/Knott End, South to Lytham St. Annes and East to the outskirts of Preston.
There are currently a total of 13.5 full time members of staff devoted to the investigation of suspect claims although three of these posts are clerical support rather than investigators. In the year ending 31 March 1993 Blackpool sector conducted 2,158 investigations. Of this total, 914 cases resulted in a weekly benefit saving and a further 304 cases produced an instrument of payment saving. In addition, an overpayment was detected in a further 304 cases. The total gross savings exceeded £2.5 million. Seven people were prosecuted in the same period and all were found guilty. In addition to the Sector fraud staff who have carried out the activities as detailed above, there has been an input from a mobile team who are based at Area level and who can be called on to assist Sector staff at times of staff shortage, high intake of work or to conduct pro-active investigations into larger scale fraudulent activities.
In the past three months the Mobile Team has conducted a number of investigations, two of which were particularly successful. In the first exercise over 1,600 visits were made to check the addresses of people claiming benefits. It was confirmed that 267 people were not living at the quoted address. The full results of the savings are not yet known as the exercise is not yet completed but they are anticipated to be considerable.
The second exercise involved the arrest by the Police of six people in connection with instrument of payment abuse. Over 100 people were interviewed by members of the Mobile Team and instrument of payment savings of £50,000 were recorded.
I should stress that the vast majority of the Benefit Agency's customers are genuine and will never have any contact with any of our Investigators. The investigators exist to ensure that the honest customer's benefit goes to that customer.
I hope you find this reply helpful. A copy will appear in the Official Report and a copy will be placed in the Library.
Child Benefit
Mr. Nigel Evans : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the total cost of child benefit in each year since 1979 with the figures adjusted for inflation.
Mr. Burt : The information is in the table.

Mr. Scott : The Government's response--Cm 2282--is published today. Copies have been placed in the Library.
Crisis Loans
Ms Coffey : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the latest available information for the district covering Stockport and nationally on the number and applications for crisis loans dealt with by social fund officers because of re-alignment of unemployment benefit.
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. Member with such information as is available and a copy will be placed in the Library.
Letter from Michael Bichard to Ms Ann Coffey, dated 7 July 1993 :

Column 214
what is the latest available information for the district covering Stockport and nationally on the number of applications for crisis loans dealt with by Social Fund Officers because of re-alignment of unemployment benefit.I am unable to give the information you requested because the statistical information kept does not identify the individual benefits involved in such applications. I can, however, provide details of the number of crisis loans awarded to applicants whose benefit is paid in arrears. For the period 1 April 1993 to 30 May 1993 (latest available data) the figure for the Stockport District is 323. The national figure for the same period is 39,350.
I hope you find this reply helpful. A copy will appear in the Official Report and a copy will also be placed in the Library.
TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Burma
Mr. Worthington : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what deputations his Department has recently received from Burma ; what trade matters were discussed ; and what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards trade with Burma.
Mr. Needham : My Department has received no deputations from Burma recently. The Government's policy is to provide no specific encouragement to British firms to trade or invest in Burma in view of the current political and economic situation there. The United Kingdom does not sell arms to Burma and our aid programme, like that of other donors, has been suspended since 1988. British business visitors to Rangoon can of
Column 215
course look to our embassy there for advice and support. Firms seek advice on trading with Burma are always made aware of the Government's policy.Quangos
Mr. Grocott : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the names of individuals who (a) are spouses of hon. Members, (b) are members of the House of Lords, (c) are spouses of members of the House of Lords and (d) have been party candidates for Parliament, indicating for which party, who have been appointed by his Department since 1988 to quasi- autonomous non-governmental organisations giving, in each case, the title of the post, any salary payable, and the duration of the appointment.
Mr. Eggar : My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade is responsible for a total of more than 800 public appointments. Of these :
(a) James Roe (spouse of Marion Roe, Conservative MP for Broxbourne) has been appointed as a reserve member of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission at a salary of £8,490 per annum for the period 1 February 1993 to 31 January 1996.
(b) Viscount Chelmsford has been appointed as a member of the Simpler Trade Procedures Board for the period 1 November 1992 to 31 October 1995. The post is unpaid.
(c) Lady Jane Forbes (spouse of Lord Forbes, KBE) was re-appointed as a member of the Post Office Users Council for Scotland for the period 1 October 1991 to 30 September 1995 and as a member of the Scottish Advisory Committee on Telecommunications for the period 1 October 1991 to 30 September 1993. Both appointments are unpaid. We do not collect information on the political affiliations of those appointed or details of those who have been party candidates for Parliament.
Beer
Mr. Wareing : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the effects of the Beer Orders on the brewing industry and consumers.
Mr. Neil Hamilton : There have been considerable changes in the brewing industry since the implementation of the orders. However, it is difficult to separate the effects of the orders from other developments within the industry, some of which are part of long term trends beginning before the Monopolies and Mergers Commission review.
We believe that it is too soon to make an assessment of the impact of the orders. The overriding need now is for a period of stability for both brewers and tenants/lessees. The Agriculture Select Committee's report on the effects of the Beer Orders on the brewing industry and consumers supported this view.
Telecommunications Council
Mr. Barnes : To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Norwich, North (Mr. Thompson) of 30 June, Official Report, columns 511-12, what were the voting figures for each decision taken at the European Community's Telecommunications Council held on 16 June ; and if he will make it his policy to include in future statements on Council meetings information on whether formal votes were taken and which member states voted in favour, against or abstained on particular measures.
Column 216
Mr. McLoughlin : No formal votes were taken at the European Community's Telecommunications Council held on 16 June. I regret that this was not made clear in my answer of 30 June, in accordance with the undertaking given to the hon. Member that statements to the House following meetings of the Council of Ministers will either include details of the record of the vote whenever a formal vote is taken, or report that no formal votes were taken.
Civil Nuclear Sites
Mr. Wallace : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the civil nuclear sites in the United Kingdom, together with the expiry dates of their current operational site licences.
Mr. Eggar : The table shows the civil nuclear sites in the United Kingdom, all of which are licensed by the Health and Safety Executive under the provisions of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965, as amended.
A nuclear site licence is issued without limit of time, but may at any time be revoked by the Health and Safety Executive or surrendered by the licensee with the executive's agreement. The licensee continues to be responsible for the site, and subject to direction by the Health and Safety Executive, until in the opinion of the executive there has ceased to be any danger from ionising radiations from anything on the site, or until a new nuclear site licence is issued to some other person.

THORP
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish the residues specification issued to overseas customers for THORP, to which reference is made at page six of the report of the Radioactive Waste Management Advisory Committee appended to the chairman of that Committee's reply of 10 October 1992 to the letter of 11 March 1992 from the Secretary of State.
Mr. Eggar : This is a matter for the companies concerned.
Public Bodies
Mr. Meacher : To ask the President of the Board of Trade to whom each of the executive non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department is responsible : whether the public bodies or their members in each case are subject to (a) surcharge, (b) investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner, (c) scrutiny by the Audit Commission or National Audit Office, (d) the statutory provisions for open government which apply to local authorities, (e) performance indicators and (f) provisions under the citizens charters ; and whether the chairpersons and members of the boards of each of these bodies are required to declare an interest.
Mr. Eggar [holding answer 6 July 1993] : All the executive NDPBs sponsored by the Department are accountable to DTI Ministers for their use of public funds and we are accountable to Parliament. The specific answers to the questions are :
Column 219
(a) No.(b) No.
(c) Yes, where the body receives grant or grant-in-aid. (d) No.
(e) Yes, where appropriate.
(f) The citizens charter applies to all NDPBs which provide a public service.
The chairmen and members of the boards are expected to declare an interest where relevant.
Science Base Funding
Ms Walley : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has to increase the science base funding for industry ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. David Davis : I have been asked to reply.
As explained in the White Paper on science, engineering and technology, "Realising our Potential", the Government intend that decisions on priorities for support of the science and engineering base should be much more clearly related to meeting the country's needs and enhancing its wealth creating capacity. To this end : it is establishing a technology foresight capability ; it is creating two new research councils to cover biotechnology and biological sciences, and engineering and physical sciences ; it has provided all research councils with a mission statement which recognises the importance of research undertaken to meet the needs of users ; and it is taking measures to improve the links between the councils and cognate Government Departments. Moreover, the LINK scheme will continue to be an important vehicle for the research councils collaboration with industry, and the Office of Science and Technology will now take lead responsibility for the scheme, with the LINK steering group reporting jointly to the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and the President of the Board of Trade.
