Mr. Michael Forsyth: The countries of the European Union are covered by the statistics collated by the Council of Europe. The latest available information is given in the table. An article, "International comparisons of prison populations", by Collier and Tarling--Home Office research bulletin No. 23, pages 48 to 54--showed that the figures for different countries are unlikely to be strictly comparable because the definitions of prisons and prisoners vary from one country to another, reflecting different legal and administrative systems.

Tote
Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has for the future of the Horserace Totalisator Board.
Mr. Howard: I have been considering the future of the Horserace Totalisator Board, the Tote. In 1991, the Home Affairs Select Committee recommended that the Tote should be vested in a racing body which was truly responsible to representative groups of all who work in the industry. In their response, the Government accepted that the position of the Tote was anomalous but accepted the Committee's view that at that time no suitable body in the racing industry existed. There have been a number of significant developments in the racing industry since 1991 including, most significantly, the setting up of the British Horseracing Board. I therefore believe that the time is now right to take forward consideration of the Committee's recommendation. I therefore intend to review the options
Column 545
for the Tote in a way which preserves the extent to which racing benefits from the Tote's activities.Any change to the Tote's status would require primary legislation. Before that, there will be full consultation on the many practical issues to be addressed with interested parties, including the Tote itself, the racing industry and bookmakers.
I intend to address all these issues in a consultation document which will be issued in the next six months.
In taking forward this process, I think it very desirable that we continue to benefit from Lord Wyatt's experience and expertise. I have therefore asked him to stay on as chairman for a further two years to enable him to contribute to the review process. This will be his last term and I would hope that by the end of his tenure a new framework for the organisation of the Tote will have been decided. In addition, I have decided that in view of its role as the governing authority for racing in Britain, the British Horseracing Board should have its own seat on the Tote Board.
Research (Prisoners)
Mr. Straw: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what public opinion research has been carried out since 1992 by or on behalf of his Department or the Prison Service Agency relating to prisoners and at what cost; and if he will place copies in the Library.
Mr. Michael Forsyth [holding answer 8 February 1995]: In January 1994, following a competitive tender, the Prison Service commissioned Market and Opinion Research International Ltd. to carry out some research into public attitudes towards the Prison Service for its own management purposes.
The total cost of the research work was £29,000, including VAT.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Repossession
Mr. Atkinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what help is being given to those who
Column 546
have lost their life assets through having their homes repossessed.Mr. Roger Evans: People who become homeless through no fault of their own and who have a priority need for housing are eligible for rehousing by local authorities under the homelessness legislation. Furthermore, people whose homes have been repossessed may be entitled to housing benefit and council tax benefit, subject to the normal income and liability tests, where they move to rented accommodation. A number of other social security benefits are available to help people meet day-to-day living expenses.
Income-related Benefits
Mr. MacShane: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) how many (a) men and (b) women in (i) full and (ii) part-time employment receive housing or family income benefit;
(2) what is the number of people in work whose rates of take-home pay entitle them to housing or family income benefits.
Mr. Roger Evans: Information is not available in the precise form requested. The available information is in the table. Part-time employment has been interpreted to mean employment for fewer than 30 hours per week. Housing or family income benefits have been interpreted to mean housing benefit or family credit. A breakdown of full-time and part-time workers receiving housing benefit is not available.
In addition to those actually receiving family credit and housing benefit, there will be some families who have not taken up their entitlement to benefit. Latest estimates of housing benefit take-up, which are for 1992, show that between 310,000 and 600,000 people, 7 to 12 per cent. of those eligible, are not taking up their entitlement. Not all of these people will be in work. It is estimated that in 1991 and 1992, 160,000 families had levels of take-home pay that would bring entitlement to family credit if a claim were made. From July 1995, a £10 premium will be introduced in family credit for those working 30 hours or more per week. It is estimated that 345,000 families will benefit from this change, including 50,000 who will become newly entitled to family credit.

Compensation Recovery Unit
Dr. Godman: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proposals he has for the contracting out of
Column 546
all or of some of the functions of the compensation recovery unit; and if he will make a statement.Column 547
Income Support
Mr. Timms: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proportion of habitual residence tests on claimants for income support are conducted by interview; and what proportions of those who have failed the test were interviewed in person.
Mr. Roger Evans: The information is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Galbraith: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to review paragraphs 4 and 13 of Schedule 2 of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987.
Mr. Roger Evans: We have no plans to do so.
Mr. Bradley: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many claimants have been refused income support under the habitual residence test (a) in total and (b) in each Benefits Agency office in England, Wales and Scotland; and how many in each case have won the appeal against this decision.
Mr. Roger Evans: The administration of income support is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Member with such information as is available.
Letter from Michael Bichard to Mr. Keith Bradley, dated 27 February 1995:
Column 548
The Secretary of State for Social Security has asked me to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking for statistical information in connection with the habitual residence test for each Benefits Agency district office.Information about the number of people refused Income Support after failing the habitual residence test has been collated for the period 1 August 1994 to 31 January 1994 and is provided at Annex A. The table shows the twenty one Benefits Agency Area Directorates that make up Great Britain and lists the districts that make up each area. A copy has been placed in the Library.
Housing and Council Tax Benefits information is collected annually from Local Authorities by the Department of Social Security. Habitual residency test figures will not be available until after the end of the financial year.
Data regarding the number of successful appeals, in cases where Income Support has been disallowed as a result of the application of the test, is not collected in the format requested; this could be provided only at a disproportionate cost.
I hope you find this reply helpful.
Sir Ralph Howell: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the net gain for a person who is on income support and has worked at £3.20 per hour for (a) eight hours and (b) 16 hours, showing calculations in each case.
Mr. Roger Evans [pursuant to his reply, 17 February 1995, c.872 74]: The table provided included an incorrect figure for net pay foeight hours work at £3.20 per hour. The figure should be £25.60, not £25.50 as shown in the second column of the first row. The correct information is in the table.

Housing Benefit
Mrs. Maddock: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proportion of housing benefit claimants have changed the address for which they were claiming during each of the last five years for which figures are available; and what proportion of them moved into more expensive properties in each of these years.
Mr. Roger Evans: The information requested is not available.
Mrs. Maddock: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) what proportion of housing benefit claimants have their rents paid in full for housing benefit; and what the comparable figure was for each year since 1979;
(2) what proportion of new housing benefit claimants had their rents paid in full by housing benefit for each year since 1979.
Mr. Roger Evans: The available information is set out in the table. Data are not available prior to 1989 and no separate records are kept for new housing benefit claimants.

Mrs. Maddock: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what research he has undertaken on the
Column 550
effect of the changes to the eligible amount of rent for housing benefit purposes announced in the December 1994 Budget on the willingness of private landlords and potential private landlords to let properties.Mr. Roger Evans: No specific research on the impact on landlords of the proposed housing benefit changes has been undertaken. However, the Department of the Environment has been undertaking more general research into the motives, experience and future intentions of landlords. Both Departments will be monitoring closely the impact of the proposed changes on both landlords and tenants through on-going research surveys and specific studies as necessary.
Invalidity Benefit
Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security pursuant to his answer of 13 February to the hon. Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy (Mr. Llwyd), Official Report, column 536, how many of those receiving invalidity benefit in Great Britain in 1993 (a) are single people and (b) have partners.
Mr. Hague: The information is not available in the form requested.
On average, in the years 1991 to 1993, 30 per cent. of invalidity benefit recipients were single, and 70 per cent had partners. Source:
1991, 1992 and 1993 family expenditure surveys.
Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many claimants since the advent of statutory sick pay have been refused invalidity benefit on the basis that they would not have otherwise qualified for the national insurance sickness benefit; if he will divide these totals down into men and women claimants; what were the main causes of the failure of claimants to have full contribution records; and how many nevertheless gained full statutory sick pay.
Mr. Hague [holding answer Monday 13 February 1995]: The available information for the last five years is shown in the table below. Earlier figures can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

If after 28 weeks statutory sick pay has been paid and the contribution condition is not satisfied, the claimant is not entitled to invalidity benefit and the spell becomes a sickness benefit spell. 2. The information is based on a 1 per cent. sample of claimants to benefit within Great Britain, rounded to the nearest thousand. <1> Sample insufficient size to provide a figure.
Information on the reasons for claimants' failure to have full contribution records is not available.
Pensions
Mr. Barnes: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) what plans he has to alter the retirement age for men and women; and when he is proposing to present measures to the House;
(2) what plans he has to make changes in the provision of state pensions.
Mr. Arbuthnot: We have issued two White Papers outlining the Government's proposals on state pension age and occupational and state pension provision. The first, "Equality in State Pension Age" (Cm 2420) was published in December 1993 and the second, "Security, Equality, Choice: The Future for Pensions" (Cm 2594) was published in June 1994, copies are available in the Library. The legislation needed to implement these proposals is included in the Pensions Bill, which was introduced into Parliament on 15 December 1994.
Ian Greer Associates
Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what items of correspondence were received by Ministers in his Department from Messrs Ian Greer Associates in the last month.
Mr. Hague: Three items have been received, all of which were invitations to Ministers to attend a drinks engagement on 1 March.
EMPLOYMENT
Civil Servants (Fast Stream)
Mrs. Maddock: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of those accepted for fast-stream entry for which his Department is responsible (a) in 1991, (b) 1992, (c) in 1993 and (d) in 1994 were women.
Miss Widdecombe: Information on 1991 and 1992 is contained in the Civil Service Commissioners' reports for those years, copies of which are available in the Library.
The numbers and percentage of women recruited by the Employment Department from the civil service fast stream recruitment programme in 1993 and 1994 are shown in the following table:
Year |Number of women |Percentage of women -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1993 |14 |67 1994 |7 |58
Training Schemes
Mr. Barron: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what instructions his Department has issued, when, and to whom, as to the mechanisms required to monitor (a) youth training scheme performance, (b) adult training schemes' performance and (c) financial performance by training and enterprise councils.
Mr. Paice: The monitoring and financial information which the Department requires from training and
Column 552
enterprise councils is set out in the TEC operating agreement and TEC annual funding agreement. The TEC management information guide gives further details to TECs on what information is required. These documents are revised annually and are available in the Library.Out-of-school Child Care Initiative
Mr. Pearson: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what information is currently available, or will be available shortly, on (a) the labour market impact of the out-of-school child care initiative and (b) the number of projects achieving the self-financing criteria.
Miss Widdecombe: An interim evaluation of the initiative was published on 8 February this year by the Department in its research series under the title "The Out-of-School Childcare Grant Initiative: an Interim Evaluation". At the time when the evaluation was carried out, it was too early to assess the labour market impact of the initiative and few schemes had reached the end of their period of grant support. I will arrange for a copy of the evaluation to be placed in the Library.
A further evaluation is currently in progress. The results will be available in late 1995.
Health and Safety (Fire)
Mr. Barry Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment, if the restriction contained within paragraph 12 of schedule 3 to the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974 permits him to make regulations under that Act relating to general fire safety matters.
Mr. Oppenheim: Paragraph 12 of schedule 3 to the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974 provides that health and safety regulations may require, in specified circumstances, the taking of specified precautions in connection with the risk of fire. Paragraph 23 of that schedule defines "specified" as specified in the regulations. This therefore enables regulations to relate to general fire precautions if the circumstances and precautions are specified in the regulations and the regulations are made for the general purposes of the Act as set out in section 1.
Young People (Employment)
Mr. Barron: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many young people are employed as full-time workers; and what this number is as a proportion of the total number of full-time employed in each industrial sector;
(2) how many young people are employed in each industrial sector; and if he will give the figures as a proportion of the total number employed in each sector.

Mr. Oppenheim: The information requested is not available.
South Thames Training and Enterprise Council
Mrs. Bridget Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what severance package the former director of finance for South Thames training and enterprise council received when he left his post in August 1994.
Mr. Paice: I have no knowledge of this, nor would it be appropriate for me to seek such commercial information from the board of South Thames training and enterprise council.
Child Labour
Mrs. Llin Golding: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is (a) the total amount of compensation paid to children injured in employment and (b) the number of children who received awards for the last year for which figures are available.
Mr. Oppenheim: Children who are injured while working as a result of their employer's negligence may be entitled to compensation from the employer under civil law. Details of compensation paid by employers or their insurers to children is not available.
Mrs. Llin Golding: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many children were killed or injured while in employment for the last year for which figures were available.
Mr. Oppenheim: For 1993 94, the provisional figures for fatal and other injuries to employees aged under 16 reported to the Health and Safety Executive's field operations division inspectorates and local authorities are:
Severity of injury

Football Pools
Mr. Parry: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the recent job losses announced by (a) Littlewoods and (b) Vernons.
Miss Widdecombe: Job losses are always regrettable and I sympathise with all those adversely affected. However, companies have to adjust to remain competitive in changing markets. The gambling sector is no exception, but the pools companies, as recently announced by my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, will be allowed to advertise on television and modernise their operations in a number of other ways. People who are unfortunate enough to lose their jobs from any sector can benefit from the Department's extensive range of measures designed to help them find new jobs, re-train or set up in business.
EU Industrial Hazards Directive
Mr. Llew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his answer of 15 February, Official Report, column 703, if he has now decided upon the view on proposals put forward to be taken by his Department in respect of amendments to the EC industrial hazards directive 82/501.
Mr. Oppenheim: The European Parliament considered amendments suggested by its members to the proposed Council directive on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances at its session on 16 February. The amendment to article 15 of the proposed directive was agreed by the European Parliament, but I understand that the Commission of the European Communities has not accepted it and the amendment will not therefore be put to member states for consideration.
It is the view of the Health and Safety Executive and of the Department of Environment, which jointly lead on negotiations on the proposed directive, that the existing arrangements under directive EC 82/501 for member states to notify the Commission of major accidents has worked well and should continue. But no useful purpose would be served by having a duplicate requirement on member states to provide the same information to another EC institution.
Pregnant Employees
Mr. Barnes: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received in the past year concerning the impact of European Union directive 92/85 and the Commencement No. 3 and Transitional Provision Order 1994, SI 1365, on the problems faced by pregnant employees handling horses.
Mr. Oppenheim: Ministerial colleagues and I have received three such representations, all from the hon. Member for Derbyshire, North-East (Mr. Barnes).
Horse Riding Organisations
Mr. Barnes: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received from the Association of British Riding Schools and the British Horse Society in the past year; and what meetings he has
Column 555
held with representatives of these organisations within the same period.Training Schemes (Women)
Ms Harman: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many women are currently on Government training schemes by (a) training scheme and (b) individual TEC; and what is the overall figure as a percentage of the overall number of trainees on Government training schemes.
Mr. Paice: The information requested is given in the following table. The information covers those leaving youth training and training for work between April and September 1994. As these figures are estimated from incomplete information, it is possible only to give the percentage of women leavers and not the actual numbers.
