EU Residence Rights
Mr. Allen : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) in what United Kingdom legislation provision is made for retired self- employed citizens of the European Union entitled to the benefits set out in Council directive 75/34 EC relating to residence rights ; (2) in what United Kingdom legislation provision is made to give effect to article 5 of Council directive 75/34 relating to the period within which a retired self- employed citizen of the European Union may exercise the right of residence.
Mr. Charles Wardle : The draft (European Economic Area) Order 1994, which was approved by the House on 9 May 1994, makes full provision to transpose the EC rights of residence directives, including directive 75/34/EEC, into the United Kingdom law. Hitherto, the directives have been implemented either by way of the immigration rules (HC 251) or administratively.
Disabled Prisoners
Mr. Jim Cunningham : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what provisions are made in prisons for disabled prisoners ;
(2) if he will list those prisons where (a) provisions are made for disabled prisoners and (b) no provision is made ; and what plans he has for improvements in facilities for prisoners with disabilities ;
(3) if he will publish the findings and recommendation of his most recent survey of (a) disabled facilities for prisoners and (b) for visitors to prisons who have disabilities.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : Responsibility for these matters has been delegated to the Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Jim Cunningham, dated 23 May 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Questions about facilities in prisons for disabled prisoners.
The practice of the Prison Service is for staff to ensure that the needs of prisoners with disabilities are met on an individual basis, from reception throughout their time in custody. Staff assess their requirements and seek to provide particular facilities depending on the nature of the disability. The construction of facilities for
Column 15
disabled prisoners, staff and visitors is part of this process and local minor work--such as cell modification--will cover most individual needs. For this reason, it is not possible to categorise prisons into those that do and do not have provision for disabled persons. The Prison Design Briefing System guidelines provide for access ramps, lifts, toilets, and for circulation routes to be made suitable for the passage of wheelchairs. These standards are taken into account in the building of new and the refurbishment of old prisons when this is possible.Surveys of facilities for the disabled provided as part of the capital building programme were undertaken in 1989 and 1993, but neither were able to cover the vast majority of building work undertaken locally, nor of the other facilities that had been supplied for disabled prisoners. There would be no merit in publishing such incomplete documents.
Governors identify in their Strategic Development Plans what building work and facilities may be required in the forthcoming year for prisoners, staff and visitors. Most schemes will not require large sums of money and can be met using local funds.
Mr. Jim Cunningham : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations from organisations representing the interests of prisoners with disabilities he has received ; and if he will list the organisations concerned.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : Responsibility for this matter has been delegated to the Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Jim Cunningham, dated 23 May 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about representations from organisations representing the interests of prisoners with disabilities.
Representations have recently been received from " Disabilty Matters Limited " and " Mikewatch ", an organisation set up to act on behalf of an individual disabled prisoner.
The organisations have expressed concern over the opportunities that prisoners with disabilities have to participate in the education, work and recreational activities which are available to other prisoners.
The supply of equipment to meet the special needs of prisoners and the opportunity to transfer to other establishments has also been raised.
These representations are being considered and a reply will be sent to the organisations concerned as soon as possible.
Mr. Jim Cunningham : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners have disabilities (a) in total and (b) in each standard age group.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : Responsibility for this matter has been delegated to the Director General of the Prison Service, who has been asked to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Derek Lewis to Mr. Jim Cunningham, dated 23 May 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the numbers of prisoners who have disabilities, both in total and by age group.
This information is not collected centrally and I regret that it could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
Market Testing
Ms Ruddock : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the total cost of all market-testing exercises (a) within his Department excluding the Prison Service and (b) within the Prison Service.
Column 16
Mr. Charles Wardle : The most recent published figures on the costs of market testing, covering the period April 1992 to December 1993, are contained in table 3 of the "Competing for Quality" section of the citizens charter second report 1994 (Cm. 2540).
Column 3 of that table shows, as an annual figure spread over 10 years, consultancy and other set-up costs for the Home Office of £24, 000. It is not possible to identify separately the Prison Service element of this figure. Column 4 of the same table shows, on an annualised basis, central market-testing support costs for the Home Office as £3,383,000. This figure includes costs of £1,626,000 for the Prison Service. These terms are defined in the notes to table 3 on page 102 of the report.
Ms Ruddock : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the full cost of the market test of information and library services at his Department including (a) the cost incurred by the market- testing division, (b) the cost of consultants used by the market-testing division, (c) the cost of the in-house bid, (d) the cost of consultants used by the in-house team and (e) the cost of advice for other internal departments.
Mr. Charles Wardle : A study was undertaken last year of the scope for market-testing the Home Office's information and library services. This study identified a lack of market readiness to provide these services and it was therefore decided not to proceed with the market test. The study also identified efficiency improvements to the existing service. The staff costs for the scoping study are estimated to be about £12,000, substantially lower than the value of the efficiency improvements. No other significant costs were incurred : no consultants were employed and no bids were invited.
Ms Ruddock : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated cost of the market test of the research and planning unit ; and how many staff hours it is estimated will be involved.
Mr. Charless Wardle : The internal research function of the Home Office's research and planning unit has been included in the Home Office's provisional market-testing programme for the programme year October 1994 to September 1995. If its inclusion in the programme is confirmed, an initial study will consider the scope for testing this activity against the market. In advance of that study, it is not possible to estimate the staff and other costs of any market test.
Asylum Seekers
Mr. Allen : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the average length of time of detention in police stations of asylum seekers who are currently being held in detention in police stations ; and what are the nationalities of those being held.
Mr. Charles Wardle : This information is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Airways (Claims)
Mr. Madden : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the letter to the hon. Member for Bradford, West, dated 26 April, which he placed in the Library, whether British Caledonian has paid
Column 17
the claim submitted by his Department on 20 February in respect of the costs of detaining and escorting passengers who were refused leave to enter the United Kingdom after arriving on 15 December on BA 1262 (KT 310) ; whether Leisure International Airways has now paid claims submitted by his Department on 7 March in respect of detention and escorting passengers and submitted on 18 April in respect of detention and escorting passengers who were refused leave to enter the United Kingdom after arriving on 21 December on flight ULE 966 ; what action is being taken to recover these moneys ; and if he will make a statement.Mr. Charles Wardle : In April, Caledonian Airways Ltd. settled its invoices in full. Payment is still awaited from Leisure International Airways.
Prisoners (Home Leave)
Mr. Colin Shepherd : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will issue his consultative document on the subject of home leave for prisoners ; and what will be the timetable for the submission of responses.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : The final report by the working group reviewing the operation of the home leave and temporary release schemes has not yet been submitted to the Home Secretary. Initial recommendations by the working group have been considered by the Prisons Board and the Home Secretary.
The working group includes representatives of the organisations principally affected, including the Prison Service, probation service, police and victim support. There are currently no plans to issue the final report for further consultation.

Population and Reproductive Health
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many votes the European Union will have at the international conference on population and development in Cairo in September ; and whether he expects each European Union member state to cast its vote separately on decisions about the policy declaration of the conference.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : Each member of the United Nations has one vote. However, we expect the content of the conference document to be decided by consensus.
Mr. Worthington : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs who will be in the British delegation to the international conference on population and development to be held in Cairo in September.

community NHS trust and the Forth Valley health care unit to form the Central Scotland Healthcare NHS trust was carried out by Forth Valley health board and a report was submitted to me in April. The report indicated broad support for the proposals.As with all trust applications, the merger proposal has been considered against the published criteria of benefits for patients, management competence, the involvement of clinicians and other health care professionals in management and financial viability. The proposed trust arrangements meet these criteria and consequently I have decided to give my approval to the merger proposal. The new trust will come into operation on 1 October 1994.
