Churston Grammar School
Mr. Steen : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will increase the maximum allocation for the next academic year for the Churston grammar school, Churston, to 120 pupils as requested by the school.
Mr. Robin Squire : My right hon. Friend has not received a request to increase the standard number for Churston grammar school.
Primary School Teachers
Mrs. Ann Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many responses have been received to his draft circular on the initial training of primary school teachers issued on 9 June ; how many of those responses were unfavourable ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Robin Squire : The consultation period on my right hon. Friend's draft circular on the initial training of primary teachers lasts until the end of July. We will consider the responses carefully before making announcements. We plan to issue the circular in its final form in the early autumn.
City Technology Colleges
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what rules cover the personal responsibility of governors of city technology colleges ; whether members are required to declare interests ; what statutory provision is made for public access to information about a college or its governors' proceedings ; what charter provisions apply to their activities ; and whether they are subject to performance indicators.
Column 782
Mr. Forth : Governors of city technology colleges hold office under schemes of government--approved under the funding agreements for the colleges. Governors must declare an interest in respect of any contract in which they have an interest and may not vote on the matter. Like maintained schools, CTCs publish prospectuses and annual reports to parents and, as companies, their annual accounts are open to public inspection. In general, the provisions of the parents charter apply to the parents of pupils at CTCs, but CTCs are independent schools and the funding agreements for the colleges predate the charter. These funding agreements provide for the supply of information on performance indicators.
Governing Bodies
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Education from which categories the governing bodies of further education colleges and six-form colleges are obliged to appoint new members ; what are the rules about the personal responsibility of members of the governing bodies of such colleges ; if members are required to declare interest and whether a register of such interests is open to public inspection ; what statutory provisions govern public access to information about a college and its governors' proceedings and for holding public meetings ; to which provisions of the citizens charter or specific charters relating to their own activities they are subject ; and what performance indicators are in place.
Mr. Boswell : Further education corporations were established on 30 September 1992 to conduct further education and sixth-form collegese. The composition of corporations is set out in their instrument of government, which has been prescribed by statutory instrument--1992 No. 1957 and 1992 No. 1963. New members are appointed as and when vacancies arise following the resignation, or completion of the terms of office, of existing members. The conduct of FE corporations is governed by their instruments and articles of government. Colleges are not required to keep a register of members' interests, but corporation members are required, under the instrument of government, to declare any financial interest in the supply of work or goods to the institution or any contract concerning the institution. They must not take part in any discussions relating to a matter in which they have a financial interest nor may they vote on it. Minutes of corporation meetings are made available for inspection at the institution during normal office hours.
Governors will have a part to play in ensuring that their college meets the requirements of the forthcoming charter for further education and develops its own charter within the national framework set.
My right hon. Friend has asked the Further Education Funding Council to work with colleges on the development of performance indicators for the sector. At present, colleges collect and use whatever information they think necessary to assist them in assessing their performance. Later this year, the Department will be publishing comparative tables of the academic and vocational achievements of 16 to 18-year-olds in colleges in the further education sector, and colleges themselves will be required to publish comprehensive information on the achievements and career routes of their students.
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what is the current total of grant-maintained
Column 783
schools ; what are the rules about the personal responsibility of members of the government bodies of such schools ; whether members are required to declare interests ; what statutory provision is made for public access to information about a school and the governors' proceedings ; what charter provisions apply to their activities ; and whether they are subject to performance indicators.Mr. Robin Squire : A total of 493 schools have been incorporated as self-governing--grant-maintained--in England to date. A further 170 have been approved to become self governing. Grant-maintained schools in Wales are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
As in LEA schools, individual governors of self-governing schools are not normally personally liable for actions and decisions of the governing body. However, appeals committees members may be personally liable for the decisions they make. The Department recommends that governing bodies take out insurance against this contingency. Members of governing bodies of self -governing schools are required by their instrument of government to declare any pecuniary interest, direct or indirect, in any matter which is to be considered at a governing body meeting.
The articles of government of a self-governing school provide that a copy of each of the instruments and articles of government, the prospectus, the governors' annual report, the audited accounts for the previous school year and non-confidential parts of the minutes of meetings of the governing body must be made available for public inspection.
The parents charter makes a number of references to the responsibilities of self-governing schools' governing bodies. These responsibilities are set out in full in the schools' articles of government.
Requirements in respect of schools' performance apply equally to self- governing and local education authority-maintained schools.
Schools Funding Agency
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Education whether the Schools Funding Agency, its chairperson and members will be subject to (a) surcharge, (b) investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner, (c) scrutiny by the National Audit Office, (d) statutory provisions for public access to information, (e) performance indicators and (f) provisions under the citizens charter ; and whether the chairperson and members will be required to declare relevant interests, in a form available for inspection.
Mr. Robin Squire : The information is as follows :
|Declare interests
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surcharge |No
Investigation by the Parliamentary
Commissioner |No
Scrutiny by National Audit Office |Yes
Statutory provisions for public access to
information |No
Performance indicators |Yes
Citizens' Charter |Presumed yes
Requirement to declare an interest |<1>Yes
<1> Availability to be considered
Column 784
Non-departmental Public Bodies
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to his answer of 6 July, Official Report, columns 95-96, whether his Department maintains a register of the interests declared by chairpersons and board members of the executive non-departmental public bodies, available for inspection at his or at the main offices of the eight relevant bodies.
Mr. Boswell : As each of our non-departmental public bodies maintains a proper degree of operational independence, the Department does not recognise a need to maintain a central register giving these details. It is for the bodies themselves to decide whether to maintain records of their members' interests.
Drugs
Mr. Rathbone : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what steps he intends to take to promote drugs education and prevention within the education system.
Mr. Forth : We will continue our policy of stimulating, encouraging and supporting work within schools and the youth service, with a view to ensuring that young people are made aware of the dangers of drug misuse, and are equipped with the attitudes and skills they need to resist pressures to use or misuse them. In addition, all maintained schools are already required to promote education about drugs as part of national curriculum science.
Pupil Exclusions
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to publish details of the number of pupils excluded from individual grant-maintained schools.
Mr. Forth : Information on permanent exclusions from maintained schools in England was collected by the Department over a two-year period, starting with summer term 1f 6,743 permanent exlusions had been reported, with 2,910 in year one and 3,833 in year two. This information was collected for purposes of national aggregation and it is not possible to provide a breakdown of the figures by school or by sector because of assurances given as to confidentiality.
Further Education Funding Councils
Mr. Illsley : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the names of the members of the regional committees of the further education and higher education funding councils who have already been nominated, together with the regional committees to which no appointment has yet been made and the date on which any outstanding appointment will be made ; which organisations were consulted on the appointments ; and what was the form and nature of any such consultation.
Mr. Boswell [pursuant to his reply, 16 June 1993, c. 599] : I am pleased to announce the appointment of Lady Mary Holborow as chairman of the south-west regional committee of the Further Education Funding Council.
Column 785
EMPLOYMENT
Devon and Cornwall TEC
Mr. Tyler : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of trainees on courses sponsored by Devon and Cornwall training and enterprise council entered full-time employment in the year to March.
Miss Widdecombe : The latest full year for which figures are available is April 1991 to March 1992. During that year, 21 per cent. of those leaving employment training went into full-time employment and 7 per cent. into part-time employment. A further 11 per cent. undertook activities including training, full-time education, work experience or voluntary work.
Over the same period, 56 per cent. of those leaving youth training went into full-time employment and 4 per cent. into part-time employment. A further 12 per cent. went into other training or full-time education.
Training
Ms Short : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the latest information he has on the number of people who are participating on training courses which are supported by the European social fund ; how many are operated by (a) training and enterprise councils and local enterprise companies, (b) local authorities and further education colleges and (c) voluntary organisations ; how many people will benefit from ESF training courses in the current operational year ; and if he will make a statement.
Miss Widdecombe : The latest information available on numbers of participants on European social fund--ESF--courses in 1993 organised by the three organisational sectors requested, is as follows :
Sector |Beneficiaries -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Training and Enterprise Councils, Local Enterprise Companies (including Departmental programmes to help the unemployed): |692,000 Local Authorities/Further Education Colleges: |438,000 Voluntary sector: |106,000
Overall we currently expect some 1,308,000 people to benefit from ESF- funded training during 1993. This figure is likely to rise as further projects continue to be approved.
Mr. Hunter : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a further statement on the implementation of the training for work scheme.
Miss Widdecombe : Training for work became available from 29 March as a major part of the range of opportunities available to help people back to work. It is being delivered in all parts of the country by the network of training and enterprise councils.
Methyl Bromide
Mr. Dafis : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what information he has on reported cases of (a) illness, (b) eye infections and (c) cases of skin damage directly related to contact with methyl bromide.
Column 786
Mr. Michael Forsyth : In the period January 1987 to March 1993, a total of four cases of reported ill health, relating to two incidents, were confirmed by the pesticides incidents appraisal panel as being attributable to the use of methyl bromide.
Information has also been obtained from incidents reported to the Health and Safety Executive under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1986. Since these regulations came into force, five such cases have been reported. These included one case of nose irritation ; one of respiratory irritation and neurological symptons ; and one of acute irritant effects.
Small Businesses
Mr. David Shaw : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the achievements of (a) his policies and (b) his Department in helping small businesses over the last 12 months as against the previous 12 months ; and if he will publish the performance indicators by which his Department monitors those achievements and the statistical results of such monitoring.
Miss Widdecombe : The Government continue to help small businesses through improvements to the business climate, through deregulation and through specific programmes of support and assistance. Measures operated by the Department to assist small businesses include :
The Business Start Up Scheme (formerly the Enterprise Allowance Scheme), which provides an allowance and training/counselling support in the early months of trading to unemployed people who start their own businesses. Its performance is measured in terms of numbers taking up support and the survival rate of these businesses. Around 50,000 people were awarded an allowance in 1991-92, and just over 40, 000 in 1992-93. Survey evidence has consistently shown that of those people completing the full term of Enterprise Allowance, approximately 76 per cent. were still trading 6 months later (ie 18 months after start-up).
From April 1991, Training and Enterprise Councils (TECs) have been delivering the Scheme and have enjoyed considerable local discretion in its design and selection criteria. They have been placing greater emphasis on increasing the quality of the businesses they support in order to improve survival. Evaluation studies assessing the performance of the Business Start Up Scheme have recently been completed and are expected to be published in due course. The Department makes significant funds available to TECs to enable them to support the development of small businesses. TECs provide a varied range of help including consultancy support, advice and guidance and training audits. TECs increasingly are linking this support to achievement of the Investors in People national standard. Action materials to specifically help small businesses achieve the standard have been developed. Investors in People sets a standard for the training and development of people to achieve business objectives--a vital requirement for business, regardless of size. Of the 307 organisations which have met the standard so far, 179 are employers with less than 200 employees. There are over 3,300 employers committed to achieving the Standard, including many small businesses.
Blind and Partially Sighted People
Mr. Matthew Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment (1) what arrangements his Department makes to ensure that blind and partially sighted people have access to information produced by his Department where it has not been published in alternative media such as Braille, large print or tape ;
Column 787
(2) what is his Department's policy on which information produced by his Department is published in alternative media to standard print such as Braille, tape or large print.Miss Widdecombe : The Department aims to provide the general public with a wide range of information relating to employment and training. We ensure that important information is available in formats other than hard text to make it accessible to people who are blind or visually impaired. The decision about what is translated depends on the content and intended audience for the document. Some information is provided in direct translation, for example, the job seekers charter and leaflets on the Department's services, such as "Make It Work". The Department is most likely to produce translations of material that covers a summary of services or programmes rather than producing several versions of small leaflets. We can arrange for correspondence to be sent in Braille where it is requested.
Contracting Out
Mr. McAllion : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list all those services or functions contracted out in his Department and agencies, since November 1991, in which the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1988 were not applied.
Miss Widdecombe : The Department currently contracts out a large proportion of its services and functions. To list them all would involve disproportionate cost. The application of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 depends upon the facts of each case. The regulations have not been treated as applying to any of the activities contracted out since November 1991.
Data Processing
Mr. McAllion : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the numbers of staff by grade that are employed in his Department and Agencies in the automatic data processing functional specialism.
Miss Widdecombe : The Employment Department group employs a total of 732 staff in the automatic data processing--ADP--functional specialism. A breakdown of staff numbers by grade within the Department and its agencies as in July 1993 is given in the table :

Maternity Rights
Mr. Bennett : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when his Department intends to implement the maternity rights provisions of the Trade Union and Employment Rights Acts 1993.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : The provisions will be commenced by October 1994, as the EC pregnant workers directive requiries.
Column 799
Unemployment, East Midlands
Mr. Heppell : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many people in the east midlands have been unemployed for a year or longer.
Miss Widdecombe : In April 1993 and on the unadjusted basis, 65,699 claimants had been unemployed for over a year in the east midlands region.
In winter 1992-93, also on the unadjusted basis, the number unemployed over a year according to the International Labour Organisation definition stood at 73,000.
Training and Enterprise Councils
Ms Lynne : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of people in Rochdale who have completed TEC-run training courses entered full-time employment in each of the last two years.
Miss Widdecombe : The information is given in the table :

Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what has been the total gross public expenditure on training and enterprise councils for each year since 1989-90, and projected expenditure for the years up to 1995-96, in 1991-92 prices.
Miss Widdecombe : I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of my letter in the Library.
Employment Statistics
Mr. Roy Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what assessment he has made of the methods used in the compiling of employment statistics.
Miss Widdecombe : A thorough review of the methods used in compiling employment statistics was conducted by the Department in 1988. As a result, my predecessors authorised a number of initiatives to improve the quality of the statistics. These included the introduction of a quarterly labour force survey in 1992 ; the first full census of employers for 12 years, in September this year ; and the co-development with the Central Statistical Office of a new register of businesses which will be fully operational in 1995.
Column 800
Pit Closures
Mr. William O'Brien : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the level of unemployment in the travel-to- work areas where collieries have closed ; and what initiatives the Government are currently taking to provide jobs in those areas.
Miss Widdecombe : Between January and June 1993, claimant unemployment fell in all those travel-to-work areas containing collieries where British Coal has ceased operations since October 1992.
The Government have made available £75 million to training and enterprise councils and the Employment Service to provide a range of training, job search and other measures to help the unemployed people affected. This £75 million forms part of a larger £200 million package of assistance involving the Employment Department, the Department of Trade and Industry, British Coal Enterprise, English Estates and other Government agencies.
Social Chapter
Mr. Callaghan : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what discussions he has had with his European counterparts on the social chapter.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : The social chapter has not been a major topic in discussions with European Ministers. The interpretation, the extent and the use of the agreement of 11 on social policy are essentially matters for those member states who signed it.
Mr. Spearing : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the publication, including details of price and availability, containing the text of (a) the social chapter, (b) the social charter signed by 11 Heads of State or Government at Strasbourg in 1979, (c) the social protocol and attached agreement and (d) documents referred to in texts (a) to (c) above or necessary for construing them ; and if he will state for each document its publication date and the authority for its publication.
Mr. Michael Forsyth : I will write to the hon. Member and place a copy of my letter in the Library.
Social Charter
Mr. Spearing : To ask the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his answer of 22 July, at column 295, if he will now publish the text of the social charter signed in Strasbourg on 9 December 1989 by 11 member states of the European Community, together with a schedule of the consequential draft on effective regulations and directives with accompanying information concerning relevant security reports, debates and implementation.
Miss Widdecombe : The text of the social charter was annexed to the unnumbered explanatory memorandum submitted to the parliamentary scrutiny Committees by the Employment Department on 24 November 1989. The text of each Commission proposal under the social action programme has been deposited in Parliament and explanatory memoranda in each case have been prepared for the scrutiny Committees. All the information requested by the hon. Member is therefore already in the public domain.
