Offences Against Children
Mr. Beggs: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to require the notification of education and health authorities throughout the United Kingdom of persons convicted of offences against children and young persons and to ensure that all persons seeking employment involving contact with children and young persons are screened through a centrally held register of convicted persons.
Mr. Maclean: We are currently reviewing the arrangements in England and Wales for the protection of children and young people through criminal record checks--this review may be followed up by legislation--but checks are, of course, already available throughout the United Kingdom on those seeking to work in many areas of child care. Arrangements are in place for the police to inform employers involved in child care when an employee or volunteer receives a conviction or caution which could affect their suitability to work with children, and lists of individuals considered unsuitable to work with children are held centrally and can be consulted by employers.

Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority
Mrs. Roche: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many awards have been made by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in each of the tariff bands since 1 April; (2) how much has been paid by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority to applicants since 1 April relating to applications made (a) before and (b) after 1 April;
(3) how much money has been spent on (a) administration and (b) awards to applicants by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority since 1 April;
(4) how many payments have been made or decided upon to applicants to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for each month since 1 April for applications made (a) before and (b) after 1 April; (5) how many claims for compensation the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority has received since 1 April.
Mr. Maclean: The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority came into being on 1 April 1994 and is responsible only for applications for compensation received from this date. Applications received before 1 April 1994 are dealt with by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.
The legal challenge to the introduction of the tariff scheme, which has not yet been finally resolved, had the practical effect of deferring the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority's consideration of cases lodged since 1 April for some months. Once it became clear that the legal challenge would take some time to resolve, the authority began offering awards on a provisional, without prejudice, basis in accordance with an undertaking given to the court when leave to apply for judicial review was granted. Claimants have three months in which to decide whether to accept the award offered, or whether to appeal against the authority's decision.
The following information has been provided by CICA and reflects the position as at 21 November 1994.
Breakdown of awards provisionally offered by tariff band since 1 April 1994 Band |Value |Offered ------------------------------------ 1 |£1,000 |120 2 |£1,250 |19 3 |£1,500 |87 4 |£1,750 |8 5 |£2,000 |46 6 |£2,500 |13 7 |£3,000 |71 8 |£3,500 |11 9 |£4,000 |9 10 |£5,000 |11 11 |£6,000 |5 12 |£7,500 |26 13 |£10,000 |2 14 |£12,500 |- 15 |£15,000 |1 16 |£17,500 |5 17 |£20,000 |2 18 |£25,000 |- 19 |£30,000 |- 20 |£40,000 |- 21 |£50,000 |- 22 |£75,000 |- 23 |£100,000|- 24 |£175,000|- 25 |£25,000 |1
The total amount paid by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board since 1 April 1994, in respect of applications lodged prior to that date, is £102,984.288. The amount paid by CICA, in respect of applications lodged on or after that date, is £325,421.
It is not possible to differentiate precisely as between expenditure on administration incurred by CICB, CICA and the appeals panel since, in the interests of administrative efficiency, economy and effectiveness, many of the same administrative staff serve all three bodies at different times according to need. However, total expenditure on administration in the period 1 April 1994 to 18 November 1994 was £9,631,332. The total value of awards offered to claimants under the tariff scheme is £1,392,750.

Drugs
Mr. Gareth Wardell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Italian nationals are currently being held in prison in Britain on drugs-related charges; and what plans there are for repatriating them to Italy to complete their sentences or to receive treatment.
Mr. Michael Forsyth: 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. Gareth Wardell, dated 25 November 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the number of prisoners of Italian nationality imprisoned on drugs related charges and the plans that exist for them to be repatriated to Italy to complete their sentence or for them to receive medical treatment.
On 30 September 1994, there were four Italian nationals in Prison Service establishments in England and Wales under sentence for drugs offences excluding fine defaulters; a further two had no specific offence recorded.
The Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984 provides for the transfer of prisoners between the United Kingdom and foreign jurisdictions subject to the existence of an international agreement for this. Both the United Kingdom and Italy have ratified the Council of Europe Convention on the transfer of sentenced persons and this enables prisoners to transfer between the two jurisdictions in order to serve their sentences close to home.
Prisons (Privatisation)
Mr. Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish the present list of Her Majesty's prisons in England and Wales which are now under consideration for privatisation.
Column 447
Mr. Michael Forsyth: 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 Mr. Derek Lewis to Mr. Tom Cox, dated 25 November 1994:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about those prisons that are being considered for market testing. We are not considering privatising any prisons. Privatisation means removing an activity from the sphere of the government responsibility with full responsibility and ownership, being transferred to private sector. That is not what we are doing with regard to the management of prisons. Contracts have been awarded to private companies for the management of for prisons: Wolds, Blakenhurst, Doncaster and Buckley Hall. The contracted out prisons remain part of the Prison Service: I am accountable to the Home Secretary four contracted out as well as directly managed prisons and the Home Secretary remains accountable to Parliament for them. Six new prisons are to be built in the next few years using private sector finance. Sites have been identified in South Wales and Merseyside for the first two, which are expected to open in 1997 98 and tenders have been issued for contracts for the design, construction, management and finance of these prisons.
We are also considering twelve existing establishments with a view to selecting one or more of them for market testing. In-house bids will be allowed and therefore market testing may or may not lead to contracting out depending on whether the in-house bid is successful.
Column 448
The twelve establishments are as follows:

Magistrates' Courts
Ms Hodge: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what are the most up-to-date annual figures for (a) the rate of conviction and (b) the average sentences for cases heard by Barking magistrates court relating to (i) all crimes of theft, (ii) all juvenile crimes and (iii) crimes of theft committed by juveniles; (2) what are the most up-to-date figures for (a) the rate of conviction and (b) the average sentence for cases heard by Havering magistrates court in relation to (i) all crimes of theft, (ii) all juvenile crimes and (iii) crimes of theft committed by juveniles; (3) what are the most up-to-date annual figures for (a) the rate of conviction and (b) the average sentence for cases heard by Redbridge magistrates court relating to (i) all crimes of theft, (ii) all juvenile crimes and (iii) crimes of theft committed by juveniles.

Crime Victims
Ms Coffey: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) who will be responsible for informing the victims of violent crime of the proposed home leave of their attackers;
(2) how the views of victims on the temporary release of their attackers will be taken into account; and on what grounds victims will be able to object;
(3) what plans he has to inform the offender of a victims successful objection against his temporary release; and what protection will subsequently be given to victims.
Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answers 22 November 1994]: 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 Mr Derek Lewis to Ms Ann Coffey, dated 25 November 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Questions about the consultation and notification of victims on application for temporary release and home leave.
As part of the current risk assessment to be carried out before a prisoner can be granted temporary release and home leave, current Instructions to Governors, CI 43/1992 and IG 70/1994, copies of which are in the House of Commons Library require the concerns and position of known victims and the community to be fully assessed. The Governor may write to the victim or may seek the assistance of the local probation service or the police to ascertain their view, depending on the circumstances of the case. In addition, from the beginning of next month, victims of crime can contact the Prison Service Victim Helpline and register their concerns which will be passed immediately to the prison concerned.
The views expressed by known victims will be taken fully into consideration by either the temporary release or home leave board set up to consider any initial application made by a prisoner. The recommendation of the Board is then submitted to the Governor who has responsibility for deciding the application.
Where the victim is at the address to which the prisoner intends being temporarily released and does not wish the prisoner to return there, the wishes of the victim must be respected and the application must be refused. Where the victim lives nearby or in the neighbourhood, the Governor must take full account of the concerns expressed and consider the extent to which any fears could be reduced if the application is granted. This might include making it a condition to the temporary release licence that the prisoner avoid certain areas or individuals.
Where the Governor decides to refuse an application for temporary release or home leave in the light of the concerns expressed by a victim, this is not disclosed to the prisoner. The outcome of any application for temporary release in which a victim made representations would normally be made known to the victim either directly by the prison or by the probation service or police, depending on the circumstances of the case.

Police Cells
Mr. Bennett: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has made of the number of remand and convicted prisoners expected to be in police cells in Greater Manchester over Christmas.
Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answer 24 November 1994]: 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 Mr. Derek Lewis to Mr. Andrew F. Bennett, dated 25 November 1994 :
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the estimated number of remand and convicted prisoners expected to be in police cells in Greater Manchester over Christmas.
On 21 November this year there were 105 remand and 11 convicted prisoners in police cells in Greater Manchester. The number of prisoners held in police cells in Greater Manchester over Christmas will depend on how many prisoners are remanded or convicted by the courts during the preceding weeks. It is not possible to make a reliable forecast of this number.
DEFENCE
Royal Marines School of Music
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the cost of running over complement at units to which military personnel would be reassigned if the Royal Marines school of music were to be relocated to Portsmouth in each year from 1996 97 to 1999 2000.
Mr. Soames: There would be no extra costs involved, since there would be no over-complementing at other sites as a result of the relocation. All the band service personnel at Deal would be reassigned within the new overall ceiling for the service of 358. The 79 service posts at Deal involved in administration and security would be lost on closure. There would, however, be no
over-complementing elsewhere as the reductions would be managed by natural wastage within the Royal Marines.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the costs that would arise in each year from 1994 95 to 1996 97 if the Royal Marines school of music were to be relocated from Deal to Portsmouth, in respect of (a) planning and the proposed relocation, (b) relocation and installation of furniture, fittings and other equipment and (c) personnel.
Mr. Soames: Planning of the proposed move would be undertaken by existing staff at no extra cost. The physical costs of such a move would be approximately £35,000, incurred in financial year 1995 96. No extra service personnel costs would be incurred as a result of the move, since such transfers are anyway a part of the normal cycle of service life and are as applicable at Deal as they would be at Portsmouth.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what other options exist for utilising the Royal Naval detention quarters if the Royal Marines school of music does not relocate to Portsmouth; and what assessment he has made of the benefits of those other options.
Mr. Soames: No other options for using the Royal Naval detention quarters have been identified.
Column 451
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether a fully costed requirement has been developed for building works which would be necessary at the Royal Naval detention quarters at Portsmouth if the Royal Marines school of music were to relocate there from Deal.
Mr. Soames: We would not expect the cost of building works to exceed the figure of £450,000 quoted in the consultative document.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the costs associated with efficiency losses that would be incurred as the Royal Marines school of music adapted to a new location if the proposed relocation to Portsmouth takes place.
Mr. Soames: It is not possible to cost the short-term disruption which would inevitably occur. Pre-planning will, however, keep this disruption to a minimum. The investment appraisal supporting our proposals does, however, demonstrate the large savings over the next five years of relocating the Royal Marines school of music from Deal.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the property management costs to be incurred at Portsmouth, of transferring the Royal Marines school of music from Deal in each year from 1995 96 to 1999 2000, with particular reference to the refurbishment of accommodation and the percentage of total current costs at Portsmouth that these figures represent.
Mr. Soames: In financial year 1995 96, £450,000 has been allowed for initial refurbishment costs. Thereafter, £47,000 per annum is allowed for continuing property management purposes. This represents 0.8 per cent. of the total current property management budget for HMS Nelson Portsmouth.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the running costs of buildings other than the Royal Naval detention quarters which would be incurred at Portsmouth in each year from 1995 96 to 1999 2000 if the Royal Marines school of music is moved from Deal; and what percentage of total costs at Portsmouth these costs represent.
Mr. Soames: For financial year 1995 96 costs are nil. From 1996 97 onwards, additional annual running costs at HMS Nelson attributable to the presence of Royal Marines school of music facilities in buildings other than the Royal Naval detention quarters amount to just over £40,000. This represents 0.1 per cent. of the total estimated running costs of HMS Nelson.
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the manpower cost at Portsmouth of transferring the Royal Marines school of music from Deal in terms of (a) general administration, (b) supplies, (c) property management and maintenance, (d) catering and accommodation and (e) transport etc., in each year from 1995 96 to 1999 2000; and what percentage of total costs at Portsmouth in each year these figures represent.
Column 452
Mr. Soames: HMS Nelson currently administers some 3,000 service personnel. The 34 service posts transferring with the school and the 27 civilian posts will carry out tasks specifically related to the school's training activities. Because of the very considerable size of the existing and projected Naval infrastructure in Portsmouth, no further posts under the headings set out in the question are envisaged as a result of the arrival of this comparatively very small music school organisation.
Royal Navy Detention Quarters
Mr. David Shaw: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the floor area of the Royal Naval detention quarters at Portsmouth.
Mr. Soames: The floor area of the Royal Naval detention quarters is 3102 sq. m.
RNAD Coulport
Mr. Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) whether any handling, practice in handling or training exercises have been conducted with live or dummy Trident nuclear warheads in the explosives handling jetty at Royal Navy armaments depot Coulport; and if he will make a statement;
(2) what progress has been made in obtaining a full and complete nuclear safety case for the explosives handling jetty at RNAD Coulport;
(3) whether clearance for handling live nuclear warheads at the explosives handling jetty at RNAD Coulport has been obtained; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Freeman: All safety clearances for the explosives handling jetty at RNAD Coulport which are necessary to support HMS Vanguard's forthcoming deployment, including clearance to handle nuclear warheads, have been obtained. Comprehensive handling and training exercises using inert warheads have been undertaken in the jetty.
David Hart
Mr. Cohen: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what work Mr. David Hart is now doing in his Department.
Mr. Freeman: I refer the hon. Member to the Answer that I gave the hon. Member for South Shields (Dr. Clark) on 23 November 1994, Official Report, column 148 .
Retirement and Redundancies
Mr. Spellar: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what have been the numbers of (a) early retirements and (b) redundancies of civilian staff in his Department in each of the last five years; and what has been the total cost of the retirement and redundancy packages, including pension enhancements.
Mr. Freeman: Information on redundancy and early retirement numbers by year is set out below. The total cost of the redundancy package from 1989 to the end of 1993 94 financial year is some £78 million.

Health Centre, Cambridge
Mr. Critchley: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will consider the release of Army land near the Cambridge military hospital, Aldershot, for the establishment of a new health centre.
Mr. Soames: My Department would be happy to consider the release of suitable land for this purpose, although any disposal must of course take place on the open market.
Prohibited Air Space
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many reports have been received since 1990 of infringements by aircraft of the Coulport-Faslane prohibited airspace.
Mr. Soames: Since 1990 three alleged infringements of the Coulport- Faslane prohibited airspace have been reported: two by military aircraft and one by a civil aircraft. In neither case of alleged infringement by military aircraft was a breach found to have taken place. The incident involving a civil aircraft occurred in June 1994 and is still being investigated by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Garelochhead Training Area
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the types of weapons which are authorised for (a) live firing and (b) inert firing in the Garelochhead training area; and if he will list the expenditure rates of each weapon type in the Garelochhead training area since 1990.
Mr. Soames: The weapons which are authorised for live and inert firing in the Garelochhead training area are as follows:

Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for (a) expansion of the boundaries of the Garelochhead training area and (b) changes to the types of training authorised on the Garelochhead training area.
Mr. Soames: My Department has no plans at present to expand the boundaries of the Garelochhead training area, or to change the type of training carried out there.
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many reports have been received since 1990 of infringements by aircraft of the danger area over the Garelochhead training area.
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many training man-days have been conducted on the Garelochhead training area in each year since 1988; and what is the capacity, in terms of annual training man-days of the training area.
Mr. Soames: The following training man-days have been conducted on the Garelochhead training area each year since 1988:

NATO Armaments Depot
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the peak tonnage of armaments stored at the NATO armaments depot, Glen Douglas (a) in 1990 and (b) in 1994.
Mr. Soames: The peak tonnage of armaments stored at the NATO armaments depot--Glen Douglas was approximately 21,500 tonnes in 1990 and 27,400 tonnes in 1994.
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many (a) United Kingdom civilians, (b) non-United Kingdom civilians, (c) United Kingdom military and (d) non-United Kingdom military personnel were employed at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation armaments depot, Glen Douglas, in 1990; what are the equivalent figures for 1994; and what are the planned employment levels for 1995.
Mr. Soames: The complemented posts for each year are shown in the table. The figures for 1995 do not allow for any changes which may be implemented as a result of defence costs study decisions.

Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what tonnage of armaments is being transferred to the NATO armaments depot, Glen Douglas, from other military establishments as a result of base closures and realignments; when he expects the transfers to be completed; and if he will list those categories of armaments for which Glen Douglas is now responsible.
Mr. Soames: Approximately 8,800 tonnes of armaments have been transferred into NATO armaments depot, Glen Douglas from RAF Chilmark, the final load arrived on 3 November 1994. Additionally, some 680 tonnes were transferred from RNAD Trecwn; that task is also complete. Consideration is being given to the transfer of a small amount of conventional ammunition from RNAD Beith to Glen Douglas as part of defence costs study proposals announced on 14 July, but final decisions have not yet been taken. NATO armaments depot, Glen Douglas holds a range of conventional armament stores, the main categories of which are shells, pyrotechnics, cartridges, bombs and rockets.
Mr. McFall: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total expenditure on capital projects at the NATO armaments depot, Glen Douglas, in each year since 1985; and what proportion of these sums have been financed by NATO.
Mr. Soames: Figures for the past three financial years are as listed. Details for earlier years are no longer held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The figures include works costs, fees and VAT. All expenditure shown was recoverable from NATO with the exception of VAT, which is a national responsibility.
