Expenditure in 1993-94 will be about £3 million. We also intend to provide concessional support for £50 million worth of projects.Mozambique
Mr. Hunter : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to, or received from, authorities and agencies in Mozambique in respect of the diversion of aid.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The only reported losses of British bilateral aid have been pilferage of food aid. We estimate losses of about 2 per cent. in 1993. All out bilateral food aid in 1993 was provided through British non- governmental organisations--NGOs--who employ contractors, paid on performance, to store and transport the food to specific destinations. Distribution to beneficiaries is supervised by NGOs. Where there are losses in storage and transit, we expect the NGOs to recoup the losses from the contractors concerned. Regular co-ordination meetings are held between the Government of Mozambique, donors, and implementing agencies to monitor the distribution of emergency relief and food aid. Where specific cases of diversion of United Kingdom bilateral food aid has been suspected, they have been taken up by the ambassador with Ministers in the Government of Mozambique and provincial governors. In such cases assurances have been received that action is being taken to prevent further instances.
Malaysia
Mr. Campbell-Savours : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what payments were made to Biwater Berhad of Malaysia in 1986 ; and for what purpose.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : One payment of £48.6 million was made to Antah Biwater JV under the United Kingdom--Malaysia grant 1986 in respect of the rural water supply project, which provides clean water supplies to about 4 million people in 134 areas in Malaysia.
Mr. Campbell-Savours : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what payments were made in 1986 to Antah Holdings of Malaysia ; and for what purpose.
Mr. Campbell-Savours : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what payments were made to citizens of Malaysia and Malaysian companies by the ODA for proposed aid-related projects in the years 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 ; and for what purposes such payments were made.
TRADE AND INDUSTRY
Computer Exports
Mr. Alison : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the value of United Kingdom exports of computers in the latest year for which figures are available ; and if he will make a statement.
Column 801
Mr. Needham : The United Kingdom exported computers worth £3.8 billion in 1992, the last full year for which data are available. Exports of computers in the first nine months of 1993 were worth £3.5 billion. Due to changes in the system of collecting trade data, figures for 1993 as a whole are not yet comprehensive enough for direct comparisons with earlier data. However, the value of United Kingdom exports of computers in 1993, as a whole, are expected to reach a record level.
International Trade Centre
Mr. Alton : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received about Liverpool as the location for an international trade centre ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Heseltine : My Department has received only one such representation, from a local Liverpool resident. It is being considered by officials.
Post Office
Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the President of the Board of Trade when he intends to complete his review of the Post Office.
Mr. McLoughlin : My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade is anxious to complete the Post Office review as soon as possible. The Government will not however set an artificial date.
Modems
Mr. David Shaw : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans his Department has to resolve the legal anomalies regarding the import and sale of modems not approved for connection to the United Kingdom public telephone network ; and whether he intends to press for a Europewide solution.
Mr. McLoughlin : My Department is reviewing the United Kingdom approvals regime for telecommunications terminal equipment, including the placing on the market of modems capable of, but not approved for, connection to the network. One of the main objectives of the review is to introduce a regime consistent with our obligations under the Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive--91/263/EEC. At the same time, my officials are discussing the particular problems caused by unapproved modems with the Commission and other member states with a view to developing a pan-European solution.
Trade and the Environment
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what decisions were taken at the governing council of GATT in Geneva on 22 February on the link between trade and the environment.
Mr. Needham : On 22 February the GATT council considered and agreed the outline of the GATT report to the United Nations Commission for Sustainable Development on GATT activities following the 1992 UNCED conference. The report will highlight the contribution of the Uruguay round to sustainable development, as well as pointing to the value of analytical work already carried out in GATT. Contracting parties see the December 1993 decision on future trade and environment work as evidence of continued commitment to this important issue.
Column 802
Fire Safety
Mr. Pike : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what information his Department has on the benefits to date arising from regulations covering furniture foam ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. McLoughlin : The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, as amended, include requirements for the flammability resistance of foam filled furniture. Statistics for deaths and injuries in fires are compiled by the Home Office from data collected by fire brigades. The data records that the number of deaths caused by combustion originating in upholstery and covers in dwellings has fallen from 193 in 1988 to 117 in 1991. Though other factors, such as an increased use of smoke alarms, may have influenced these figures the fall in the death rate associated with fires in upholstery and covers was much steeper than the fall in death rate from fires in dwellings overall.
Information Super-highways
Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what measures he has taken to promote the development of information super- highways in the United Kingdom.
Mr. McLoughlin : A recent study, commissioned by this Department, concluded that the United Kingdom is one of the most advanced countries worldwide on a range of key telecommunications infrastructure indicators, including use of optical fibre at trunk and local level, digitalisation of exchanges and availability of advanced services such as ISDN. This position has been achieved through our policies of privatisation, liberalisation and competition. A large number of companies are now competing to provide high- capacity telecommunication services, including BT, Mercury, Energis, COLT, MFS and the cable TV operators. I hope to license more shortly.
Aviation Services
Ms Coffey : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement about the progress of the general agreement on tariffs and trade regulations on aviation services.
Mr. Needham : Air transport services fall within the scope of the general agreement on trade in services, which forms part of the GATT agreement. The annex on air transport services notes that the agreement does not apply to measures affecting air transport traffic rights. A number of countries have made liberalisation commitments in services related to repair and maintenance, sales and marketing and computer reservation systems. There will be periodic reviews to consider whether the extent of the application of the agreement to air transport services should be expanded.
The GATT negotiations on trade in civil aircraft will continue for a further year following the conclusion of the GATT round. The Government are keen that these negotiations should resume at the earliest opportunity, in order to allow time for the negotiation of an agreement covering the whole aerospace sector, to include balanced disciplines on direct and indirect support while protecting existing Government launch aid. Meanwhile, the Government, in conjunction with industry, the European
Column 803
Commission, and other EU Governments, are carrying out an analysis of the various options for achieving such an agreement.PRIME MINISTER
Nursery (Official Visit)
Q8. Mr. Corbyn : To ask the Prime Minister what further plans he has to visit a children's nursery.
The Prime Minister : I have no immediate plans to do so.
Milton Keynes
Q10. Mr. Butler : To ask the Prime Minister what plans he has to visit Milton Keynes.
The Prime Minister : I have no immediate plans to do so.
Public Interest Immunity Certificates
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the Prime Minister how many public interest immunity certificates he or his predecessor have been asked to sign in each year since 1979 ; how many he or his predecessor declined to sign ; and if he will make a statement on his policy of signing public interest immunity certificates.
The Prime Minister : No central record has been kept of the number of public interest immunity certificates put to Ministers since 1979, and a search of all the records in No. 10 would involve disproportionate cost. I do not recall being asked to sign such a certificate and it is unlikely that either I or my predecessor would have been asked to sign one since immediate responsibility for the relevant documents or information would normally rest with the head of a separate Department.
USA (Official Visit)
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the Prime Minister what matters were discussed, and what decisions taken, during his visit to the United States of America.
The Prime Minister : We discussed current international issues, and established a wide measure of agreement on points for joint United Kingdom- United States action. These included sending a joint British-American civil planning mission to Sarajevo ; continuing support for the process of democratic and economic reform in Russia ; steps to promote the process of democratic reform in South Africa ; reaffirmation of United States support for the joint declaration on Northern Ireland ; and support for Governor Patten's policies on Hong Kong.
Lords Lieutenant
Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the Prime Minister who pays for the ceremonial dress worn from time to time by the Lords Lieutenant of England.
The Prime Minister : On appointment, Lords Lieutenant are offered a contribution from public funds towards the cost of the ceremonial uniform worn on their official engagements.
Column 804
Official Gifts
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his answer of 28 February, column 579, if he will place in the Library a copy of the official inventory of items given to Prime Ministers.
The Prime Minister : A variety of gifts are received from heads of government, heads of state and others. They are all handled in accordance with "Questions of Procedure for Ministers". It is not considered appropriate to provide a list.
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Prime Minister if he will give details of the official gifts he has presented on the official visits abroad he has made since November 1990.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 2 March 1994] : No. The customary practice is to give official gifts to heads of government, heads of state and small numbers of officials on the occasion of each visit to a country, but it is not considered appropriate to give details of these.
Engagements
Sir Peter Tapsell : To ask the Prime Minister if he will list his official engagements for Thursday 3 March.
Mr. Harry Greenway : To ask the Prime Minister if he will list his official engagements for Thursday 3 March.
The Prime Minister : This morning I presided at a meeting of the Cabinet and had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in the House, I shall be having further meetings later today.
St. Winwaloe's Day
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Prime Minister what plans Her Majesty's Government have to celebrate St. Winwaloe's day.
Malaysia
Sir David Steel : To ask the Prime Minister what offers of aid to Malaysia were discussed during his visit to Malaysia in September 1993 ; and what were the amounts involved for each potential project.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 28 February 1994] : There was no substantive discussion of aid offers during this visit. However, I attended the unveiling of a plaque at the Connaught Bridge power plant for which the Government had provided £23.485 million aid and trade provision support. I was also present at the signature of a document between the Kuala Lumpur international airport Berhad and the Anglo- Japanese airport consortium, on the role the consortium would play in the Kuala Lumpur airport project.
St. David's Day
Mr. Flynn : To ask the Prime Minister what plans Her Majesty's Government have to celebrate St. David's day.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 1 March 1994] : My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales held a reception on the eve of St. David's Day, to mark the occasion.
Column 805
Cabinet Meetings
Mr. Kenneth Baker : To ask the Prime Minister where the handwritten records of the Cabinet Secretary of each Cabinet meeting are kept ; and how far back such records go.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 2 March 1994] : The Cabinet Secretary's notebooks, which contain the handwritten records of each Cabinet meeting, have been preserved since 1947. They are retained in the Cabinet Office with the approval of the Lord Chancellor under section 3(4) of the Public Records Act 1958.
Air Miles
Mr. Hoyle : To ask the Prime Minister what rules apply to the use of air miles credited to Ministers undertaking official journeys.
The Prime Minister [holding answer 2 March 1994] : I have recently made it clear that I do not believe that Ministers or officials travelling on Government business, necessarily paid for from public funds, should make private use of air miles which may arise as a result of that expenditure. There is no objection to re-applying the benefits of these schemes to travel on Government business.
EDUCATION
Colleges of Further Education
Mr. Austin Mitchell : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what steps he is taking, and what funding is being withheld from colleges of further education, to require them to change the contracts of existing staff ; whether any targets for the percentage of existing staff moving to new contracts have been proposed by him ; what additional finance is being made available to colleges to allow them to offer incentive packages to existing staff to take new contracts ; what limits he has placed on the scale of these offers ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Boswell : The holdback of grant from the Further Education Funding Council relates to newly employed staff. It is for individual colleges to decide whether they wish to move existing staff onto new contracts and how rapidly they wish to do so. It is also for individual colleges to decide what incentives they will offer their staff, within the resources available to each college and within the framework of the Government's policy on public sector pay.
Female School Leavers
Mrs. Clwyd : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will give a ranking by county of the percentage of female school leavers leaving school with five or more GCSEs at grades A to C.
Mr. Robin Squire : The table gives details of the ranking by county of the percentage of female school leavers estimated to be leaving maintained schools in England in 1992 with five or more GCSEs at grades A to C. The latest year for which the information is available is 1991-92, when the school examinations survey was undertaken with a reduced sample of 3 per cent.

Student Grants
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to amend the regulations for mandatory awards for those students in higher education, who were abducted from the United Kingdom as children, and who therefore would not qualify for an award under the current regulations because of their limited period of residence ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Boswell : My right hon. Friend has no present plans to amend the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations in the way the hon. Member proposes. Normally, a student must have been ordinarily resident in the British Islands throughout the three years immediately preceding the start of the first year of his course to qualify for a mandatory award. Periods of temporary absence abroad do not breach a person's ordinary residence in the British Islands. Under the regulations, it is for an applicant's local education authority to decide whether the period during which he was abroad as a result of his abduction should be considered a temporary absence in deciding if he is eligible for a mandatory award. Where a student is not eligible for a mandatory award, the LEA has the power to make a discretionary award to him.
Column 807
Malaysian Students
Mr. Byers : To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many Malaysian students have entered the United Kingdom in each year since 1980 for the purpose of studying ; and what financial support they directly, or the Malaysian Government on their behalf, received from the Government.
Mr. Boswell : The following table shows the number of Malaysian students enrolled as full-time and sandwich course students at universities, polytechnics, Scottish central institutions and all other colleges maintained or assisted by local authorities or grant-aided by Education Departments in the United Kingdom. Information on independent sector further and higher education institutions is not collected centrally.

School Governors
Mr. Burns : To ask the Secretary of State for Education (1) what assessment he has made of the amount of paperwork sent to chairmen of governors of secondary schools ;
(2) what measures are being taken to reduce the level of documentation being sent to chairmen of governors of secondary schools.
Mr. Forth : We are aware of concerns expressed about the amount of paperwork sent to schools from my Department. We have responded to those concerns by regulating, since 1991, the flow of paper so that only essential documents, mainly those relating to statutory responsibilities, are sent automatically. I constantly invite suggestions from schools of paperwork which is redundant--with a view to reducing or eliminating it.
Column 808
Crook Primary School
Ms Armstrong : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will place in the Library the action plan from Crook primary school governors ; and if he will also place in the Library the advice to him on that plan from (a) Durham county council and (b) Ofsted.
Mr. Forth : I have deposited a copy of the governors' action plan in the Library. As required by section 211 of the Education Act 1993 Durham local education authority has sent its commentary on the action plan to my right hon. Friend and Her Majesty's chief inspector for schools. It is for the LEA to decide whether to make copies more widely available. HMCI's advice to my right hon. Friend is given in confidence.
Ministerial Instructions
Mr. Rowlands : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the occasions since 1979 when Ministers have issued written instructions to override his Department's accounting officer's objections.
Mr. Forth [holding answer 24 February 1994] : The Secretary of State has not since 1979 issued any formal instructions to override the advice of his accounting officer.
DUCHY OF LANCASTER
Public Bodies
Mr. Meale : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will give a full list of all non-ministerial Government Departments financed from public funds in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Waldegrave : A list of non-ministerial Government Departments is contained in the list of ministerial responsibilities produced by the Cabinet Office. Copies of the latest LMR--June 1993--are available from the Vote Office. Since June 1993, three new non-ministerial Government Departments have been established--the Office of the National Lottery, the Office of Passenger Rail Franchising, and the Office of the Rail Regulator.
Mr. Meale : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) if he will list the non-departmental public bodies in operation in the United Kingdom each year since 1979 ;
(2) if he will list all publicly funded advisory bodies in the United Kingdom ;
(3) what has been the total cost of non-departmental public bodies to the Exchequer in each year since 1979 ;
(4) how many people are employed in non-departmental public bodies in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Waldegrave : Such information is contained in the publication "Public Bodies 1993", and earlier editions of the same publication. Copies are available in the Libraries of the House.
Mr. Meale : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list all non-ministerial Government Departments responsible for regulating the privatised utility services.
Column 809
Mr. Waldegrave : The following non-ministerial Government Departments are responsible for regulating the privatised utility services- -the Office of Electricity Regulation, the Office of Gas Supply, the Office of Telecommunications, and the Office of Water Services.
Bacteria
Mr. Mackinlay : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) what research the Government are funding or initiating into the dangers of bacterial strains becoming resistant to available antibiotics ; and if he will make a statement.
(2) what research the Government are funding or initiating into the possibility that antibiotic-resistant strains of enterococcus may pass on their immunity to other more deadly types of bacteria ; and if he will make a statement ;
(3) what research has been conducted into the antibacterial resistant traits of staphylococcus aureus.
Mr. Waldegrave : The Medical Research Council attaches importance to research into the mechanisms of pathogenicity and drug resistance in bacterial infections and supports a range of studies in this area which are relevant to understanding how antibiotic resistance develops. As part of its clinical research initiative in Nottingham, the council is building up support for several groups studying a range of bacterial infections. One group has a particular interest in problems related to staphylococcal infections. The MRC is also reviewing the literature relating to septic shock, especially in relation to possible studies of monoclonal antibody therapy. In addition, the Public Health Laboratory Service, a non- departmental public body, is undertaking surveillance programmes to monitor the incidence and effects of multiple antibiotic resistance to staphylococcus aureus and to enterococcus bacteria.
Parliamentary Questions
Mr. Gordon Prentice : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list those answers to parliamentary questions since 1990 that have subsequently turned out to be incorrect.
Mr. Waldegrave : Such information is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Research Establishments
Mr. Bates : To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster which bodies will be covered by the multi-departmental scrutiny of public sector research establishments.
Mr. Waldegrave : I announced the terms of reference for this efficiency scrutiny on 2 February. The bodies which will be covered are listed in the table. The team will make recommendations to Sir Peter Levene, the Prime Minister's efficiency adviser, by the end of April 1994. It is normal practice for efficiency unit reports to be published.
