Mr. Matthew Taylor : To ask the Secretary of State for Education which special advisers in his Department are seconded from other organisations ; and what are the organisations and the lengths and terms of the secondments.
Mr. Boswell : There are no special advisers seconded to the Department from other organisations.
Mr. Pike : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment his Department has made in respect of each local education authority in determining annual capital guidelines for 1994-95 of anticipated capital receipts.
Mr. Forth : LEAs bid for annual capital guidelines in a number of categories, including projects to remove surplus places. The success of bids in that category depends on whether the projects meet our published cost-effectiveness tests. The latter take into account LEAs' own estimates of any capital receipts which may arise. But in no categories are LEAs' ACGs reduced or adjusted in the light of anticipated capital receipts.

Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will make additional resources available to schools to allow them to offset the cost of fitting seat belts to their school transport.
Mr. Forth : This is a matter on which each local authority needs to assess its priorities for use of the resources available. The Government's proposals for the 1994-95 grant settlements allow local education authorities in England an increase of 2.4 per cent. for education over the previous year ; that should allow them some latitude in view of the continuing fall in inflation.
Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for Education when he will reply to the letter dated 22 November from the hon. Member for Pendle on the subject of seat belts in school transport.
Mr. Forth : An interim reply was sent to the hon. Member on 13 December, and I sent the hon. Member a final reply on 21 January.
Dr. Spink : To ask the Secretary of State for Education in how many (a) secondary schools and (b) primary schools the taught week falls below the minimum acceptable level ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Robin Squire : The minimum hours of taught lesson time per week recommended by the Department are 21 hours for five to
seven-year-olds--key stage 1--23.5 hours for eight to 11-year-olds--key stage 2--and 24 hours for 12 to 16-year-olds--key stages 3 and 4. The numbers of maintained primary, middle and secondary schools in January 1993 reporting fewer hours per week than the recommended minima at each key stage were : 1,000 at key stage 1 ; 7,900 at key stage 2 ; 1,100 at key stage 3 and 800 at key stage 4. There may be some "double counting" in these results because schools generally provide for two and possibly three key stages.
Mr. Pike : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many representations he has received on the subject of the Child Support Agency.
Mr. Burt : Between April 1993 and January 1994 the Department of Social Security headquarters and the Child Support Agency headquarters received in the region of 10,750 written representations covering a range of views about child support policy and Child Support Agency operations.
The number of written representations made to Child Support Agency centres and field offices could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Mrs. Golding : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what the turnover of staff has been for each of the Child Support Agency centres in (a) England and (b) Wales.
Mr. Burt : The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for Ros Hepplewhite, the chief executive. She will write to the hon. Member.

Mrs. Fyfe : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make it his policy to compensate fully people with learning disabilities and their carers for the increase in their domestic heating bills resulting from VAT on fuel.
Mr. Burt : Our policy is to help poorer households, pensioners and disabled people on income-related benefits meet the extra cost of VAT on domestic fuel. A substantial package of measures was announced in the budget including increases above the normal uprating in invalidity benefit, severe disablement allowance and the disability premium in the income- related benefits.
Disabled people, including people with learning disabilities, who are receiving these benefits will receive the above-inflation increases.

Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the estimated saving to his Department of delaying payment of the child dependant's allowance payable with incapacity benefit until the 52nd week of incapacity.
Mr. Scott : It is estimated that there will be a net saving of £5 million a year as a result of the effect on entitlement to child dependency increases of the 52nd week qualifying period for long-term incapacity benefit.
Note :
Estimate expressed in constant 1993-94 prices, rounded to nearest £5 million and is net of offsetting changes and expenditure on income-related benefits.
Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many claimants of invalidity benefit are (a) in receipt of the higher rate of the care component of disability living allowance and (b) are currently over the age of 57 years.
Mr. Scott : On 4 April 1992, the latest date for which figures are available, there were 726,000 people aged 57 or over receiving invalidity benefit . Reliable estimates of the number of invalidity benefit claimants also receiving the higher rate of care component of disability living allowance are not available.

Mr. Scott : Information is not routinely kept in the form requested. Information that is readily available is in the table. An estimate of the total since April 1983 will require researching of archived data. I shall write again to the hon. Member as soon as the figure is available.

Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security to what extent the rules permitting therapeutic work will continue after April 1995 for (a) incapacity benefit and (b) severe disablement allowance ; what will be the rules concerning limitations on (i) the amount of earnings which can be kept before benefit entitlement is affected and (ii) the hours per week which may be worked ; and what other restrictions will be introduced.
Mr. Scott : Proposals contained in the Incapacity for Work Bill provide for the therapeutic work rule to continue both for the new incapacity benefit and for severe disablement allowance when work undertaken would be of benefit to a person's condition. We intend that current arrangements for limitation of earnings will continue--present level £42.00 per week--and that there should be a weekly limit of 16 hours.
The Incapacity for Work Bill also introduces provision to allow all incapacity benefit and severe disablement allowance recipients to undertake voluntary work for up to 16 hours a week with no effect to their benefit.
Mr. Bradley : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to alter the two-year linking rule allowing claimants on disability working allowances to requalify for incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance.

Mr. Alan Williams : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will quantify the cost of the factors which led to an increase in the cost of cars for Ministers in his Department since 1990-91.
Mr. MacGregor : The Government car service charges for 1990-91 did not cover the full cost of the provision of cars for ministers. Rates have since been increased by 12 per cent. from 1 July 1990 and again by 10 per cent. from 1 January 1991. Other factors are :
(i) Value added tax on GCS invoices increased from 15 per cent. to 17.5 per cent. from 1 April 1991.
(ii) The GCS introduced new charging arrangements from 1 April 1992 leading to greater use of the more expensive "Outside Core Hour" provision.
Mr. Barry Field : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will consider an addition to the transport supplementary grant to assist with the exceptional problems on the Isle of Wight and to improve and install additional highway damage drainage works.
Mr. Key : It is not possible to change the allocations that were given to local highway authorities, including the Isle of Wight, when the local transport capital settlement for 1994-95 was announced on 15 December. The island's council will have the opportunity to bid for resources to deal with current conditions on its roads when it makes its transport policies and programme submission for 1995-96 later this year. In the meantime, it has discretion to use its minor works allocation for 1994- 95 on transport infrastructure of its choice. Resources allocated for structural maintenance on principal roads can also be used on any such road.
