Mrs. Roche: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total cost of the victims helpline to 8 March. [15167]
Column 372
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 Mrs. Barbara Roche, dated 24 March 1995:
The Home Secretary has asked me to reply to your recent Question about the cost of the Victim Helpline up to 8 March.
The total costs are estimated to be in the region of £19,000. This includes start up costs of £8,400, and running costs of £10,600.
Ms Walley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of additional policing costs arising from the transhipment of (a) live animals and (b) veal calves for 1994 95 at (i) Coventry airport, (ii) Shoreham point, (iii) Brightlingsea, (iv) Plymouth and (v) Swansea. [15252]
Mr. Maclean: These are matters for individual police authorities. I understand that the latest estimates of the additional policing costs to be incurred in 1994 95 are:
|£ ------------------------------------------- Coventry Airport |385,000 Shoreham |3.74 million Brightlingsea |1.8 million Plymouth |<1>100,000 Swansea |2,500 <1> Actual expenditure to 17 March.
It is not possible to apportion costs by type of animal.
Mr. John D. Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if teachers of the Protestant faith can be appointed to schools controlled by the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools; and if he will make a statement about fair employment practices in controlled schools. [14844]
Mr. Ancram: Teachers of the Protestant faith can be appointed to schools controlled by the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools. Fair employment legislation does not, however, apply to teachers in any schools but does apply to non-teaching staff in all schools. Education and library boards have in place an equal opportunities policy statement which is used by controlled schools for their non-teaching staff and are presently preparing a statement to be used by controlled schools for their teaching staff.
Mr. John D. Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many fishing vessels are estimated to be involved in the catching of nephrops; and how many of these vessels previously caught white fish. [15124]
Mr. Ancram: In the Northern Ireland fleet 184 vessels of over 10 m in length landed nephrops during 1994.
Column 373
While fishing for nephrops, there is an inevitable by-catch of white fish and all these vessels caught white fish.Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the 18 projects grant-aided in 1992 93 by the EC Commission in the fishing industry in Northern Ireland as described in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 5.22. [15428]
Mr. Ancram: The 18 projects grant-aided in 1992 93 by the EC Commission in the fishing industry in Northern Ireland are set out in the table.

Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many cases of enzootic disease in animals have been diagnosed in Northern Ireland each year since 1989; and what proportion of these cases was introduced from outside Northern Ireland. [15404]
Mr. Ancram: Enzootic disease is the term used to describe any animals or poultry disease which exists in a particular area. Listed in the table are the number of cases of the main notifiable enzootic diseases present in Northern Ireland for which statistics are available since 1989. It is not possible to provide the proportion of cases introduced from outside Northern Ireland.

Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many cases of epizootic disease in animals have been diagnosed in Northern Ireland each year since 1989; and when he projects the eradication of this disease. [15405]
Mr. Ancram: Epizootic disease is the term used to describe any highly infectious disease which affects a large number of animals in a wide area at the same time and spreads with great rapidity. Since 1989 the only instances of epizootic disease in Northern Ireland was in 1991 when six cases of Newcastle disease occurred in poultry.
Action continues to be taken to prevent the introduction of any epizootic disease of animals or poultry into Northern Ireland.
Mr. Morley: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the number of cases of ectoparasitic infestation in sheep for (a) the two years before compulsory dipping was abolished and (b) the two years since compulsory dipping has been abolished. [14567]
Column 374
Mr. Ancram [holding answer 23 March 1995]: With the exception of sheep scab, the number of ectoparasitic infections in sheep are not recorded in Northern Ireland.
Compulsory dipping of sheep was abolished in Northern Ireland in 1993. The number of cases in sheep scap in Northern Ireland for the years in question is as follows:
1991: 46
1992: 59
1993: 48
1994: 71
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list (a) the areas in Northern Ireland that have been designated as environmentally sensitive, (b) the amount of money spent on each of these areas since 1989, (c) the expenditure for each of these areas in 1994 95 and (d) the projected expenditure for each of these areas for 1996 97. [15424]
Mr. Ancram: The information requested is as follows.
Column 375
There are five environmentally sensitive areas in Northern Ireland:Area ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mourne mountains and Slieve |Designated as pilot ESA in 1988 Croob |Redesignated May 1993 Antrim coast, Glens and |Designated as pilot ESA in 1989 Rathlin |Redesignated and extended | May 1993 West Fermanagh and Erne |Designated in May 1993 Lakeland Sperrins |Designated in June 1994 Slieve Gullion |Designated in June 1994
As ESA payments are not due until 12 months from the date on which a farmer enters into an ESA agreement, the only payments to date have been the original pilot ESAs as follows:
To date 1994-95 |£ Million|£ Million ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mourne mountains and Slieve Croob |1.6 |0.350 Glens of Antrim |0.652 |0.215
Projected expenditure for all five ESAs in 1996 97 is £5.104 million.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are the criteria for an area of land to be designated as environmentally sensitive. [15423]
Mr. Ancram: The following criteria were applied to the selection of the existing five environmentally sensitive areas in Northern Ireland:
"Each area must be of national environmental significance; must represent a discrete and coherent unit of environmental interest; its conservation must depend on adopting, maintaining or extending particular farming practices; farming practices in the area must have changed, or must be likely to do so, in ways that pose a threat to the environment."
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many calls the helpline planned by the Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland--see "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 5.8--received in its first year; and how much it cost. [15426]
Mr. Ancram: In its first year the Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland's helpline received 750 calls. The cost of each call was borne by the caller and the estimated cost of handling the calls was £370.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for what reasons there is a planned decrease of £3 million in spending on the industrial research and technology unit in Northern Ireland between 1995 96 and 1996 97, referred to in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", table 6.1. [15409]
Column 376
Mr. Ancram: The budget for the industrial research and technology unit will, in addition, receive European regional development fund funding which is included in the ERDF line of the table. Taking account of this, the total funding planned for the unit is: 1995 96: £13.5 million
1996 97: £13.3 million
1997 98: £13.2 million
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the review of arrangements for ministerial and official travel mentioned in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 4.49 has taken place; and if he will list how much each Minister and other officials spent on travel (a) in 1993 94 and (b) 1994 95. [15420]
Sir John Wheeler: Three reviews have been taken in 1994 95 into the use of (a) executive jets provided by the private sector; (b) agents to provide travel and hotel bookings in Belfast; and (c) the use of the Government car service. As a result of each review, the new contracts have provided improved value for money through reducing costs and higher discounts.
It is not possible, without disproportionate cost, to identify the separate travel costs for each individual Minister and officials. The total expenditure by the Northern Ireland Office on all travel and subsistence, including police escorts for Ministers, broken down as between (a) Ministers and their personal support staff (b) senior officials and team support staff and (c) all other Northern Ireland Office staff, including the Prison Service and the Compensation Agency was £3,859,514 in 1993 94 and £3,338,609 for 1994 95 to 22 March 1995 as follows:
|1994-95 |(to 22 March |1993-94 |1995) |£ |£ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (a) Minister and support staff: (1) Travel and subsistence |792,601 |779,092 (2) Car service |322,922 |272,694 (3) RUC escort |509,607 |522,969 Total |1,625,130 |1,574,755 (b) Senior NIO officials and support staff: (1) Travel and subsistence |140,067 |131,706 (2) Car service |48,060 |43,040 Total |188,127 |174,746 (c) All other NIO staff (including Prison Service and Compensation Agency (1) Travel and subsistence |2,046,257 |1,589,108 Grand Total |3,859,514 |3,338,609
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much money has been spent on watercourse management in Northern Ireland since 1989;
Column 377
and what is the projected expenditure for watercourse management in 1996 97. [15407]Mr. Ancram: Expenditure for watercourse management division from April 1989 to March 1995 was £110.4 million. Projected expenditure for 1996 97 is £18.8 million.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what was the cost of converting the Milk Marketing Board for Northern Ireland into a voluntary co-operative. [15406]
Mr. Ancram: The Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland's expenditure on this matter is estimated at £250,000 over the two years 1993 94 and 1994 95. This is compromised mainly of staff time but includes payments for independent financial advice. The Milk Marketing Board for Northern Ireland has estimated its expenditure at £650,000.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will give details of the success of the campaign introduced in 1991 by the Department of Agriculture for Northern Ireland to reduce farm pollution from farms in river catchment areas as described in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 5.16(i); what were the costs of setting up this campaign; what were the costs of this campaign for 1994 95; and what are the projected costs of this campaign for 1996 97. [15427]
Mr. Ancram: More than 30 per cent. of farmers took action to minimise the risk of pollution.
There were no additional costs in setting up the campaign. It was rather a focusing of existing resources to target high-risk farms on selected river catchments with a known history of pollution from agricultural activities.
Measures to reduce farm source pollution remain a priority. The Department of Agriculture offers free advice to farmers at a cost of £186,000 in 1994 95.
Projected costs for 1996 97 are broadly similar to 1994 95.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much of the £4 million planned for the Forensic Science Laboratory in Northern Ireland in 1994 95 was or will be recovered from the Police Authority as charges for services. [15410]
Sir John Wheeler: It is estimated that, of the laboratory's total expenditure of £4.8 million in 1994 95, £4.6 million will be recouped from the Police Authority.
Ms Mowlam: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list (a) projected spending for the civil defence services for 1996 97 and (b) the areas within this where savings have been identified, as mentioned in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 4.41. [15412]
Sir John Wheeler: The projected spending for civil defence services for 1996 97, based on the 1994 public expenditure survey exercise, is contained within a budget
Column 378
of £522,000 for all emergency planning services within the Northern Ireland Office. However, the projected spending is likely to be reduced to £403,000 as a result of the 1995 PES exercise which is not yet complete. The savings identified, as mentioned in "Northern Ireland Expenditure Plans and Priorities 1994 95 to 1996 97", section 4.41 are primarily in respect of the elimination of costs for the rental and maintenance of food stores following the programme of disposal of the food stockpile, in line with United Kingdom policy, and the disposal elements of the former air attack warning system.Mr. McCartney: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what are the estimated numbers of employees in respect of whom employers will qualify for national insurance contribution rebates under clause 23 of the Jobseekers Bill in (a) 1996 97 and (b) 1997 98; what is the estimated resulting reduction in the number of unemployed people receiving a jobseeker's allowance; and what are the estimated resulting reductions in contribution revenue and benefit expenditure. [15135]
Mr. Arbuthnot: It is estimated that in 1996 97 employers will qualify for rebates under clause 23 of the Jobseekers Bill in respect of some 120,000 employees. It is expected that employers will reclaim some £45 million from their national insurance payments. The figures for 1997 98 are expected to be broadly the same.
It is not possible to estimate the likely effects of the measures at this stage, but unemployment might be cut ultimately by up to 100, 000 by all the work incentive measures, including the national insurance contribution rebate, announced by the Chancellor in the November 1994 Budget.
Mr. Dykes: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the total amount of funds in private pension provision in the United Kingdom; and what is the equivalent figure for the two next largest European Union countries. [15330]
Mr. Arbuthnot: In 1992, the total amount of funds in private pension provision in the United Kingdom was around £550 billion. This is more than three times the amount in either of the two European Union countries with the next highest level of pension funds--£160 billion for Germany and £140 billion for the Netherlands.
Mr. Rooney: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what benefit entitlement applies pending the outcome of the appeal when a recipient of incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance who is found to be capable of work under the all-work test lodges an appeal against the decision and declines to register as unemployed. [16139]
Mr. Hague: Incapacity benefit and severe disablement allowance cease to be payable when a recipient is found to be capable of work under the all -work test. A claimant
Column 379
who has lodged an appeal and has not registered as unemployed may qualify for income support. Where a claimant would normally be entitled to income support only if he were available for work, and he has declined to register as unemployed pending his appeal, income support will be reduced by an amount equal to 20 per cent. of the single person's personal allowance. This reduction will not be made if the claimant was in receipt of invalidity benefit or severe disablement allowance on 12 April 1995, and the appeal is against a decision based on the first application of the all-work test to him.Mr. Rooney: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if recipients of invalidity benefit, incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance may take up part-time or full-time education or training courses without prejudice to their benefit entitlement; and if the taking up of such a place affects the assessment of their capacity for work. [16138]
Mr. Hague: Days on which a person attends a Government-funded course in respect of which he is paid a training allowance are not treated as days of incapacity for work, and benefit would not be payable. People getting invalidity benefit, sever disablement allowance or, from 13 April, incapacity benefit before starting the course will get a training allowance based on the rate of benefit they were receiving, plus £10.
Attendance on a course of education, either part-time or full-time, or a non-Government funded course, will not generally affect payment of benefit unless the nature of the course raises doubts about a person's continued incapacity for work.
Young people aged between 16 and 19 cannot get severe disablement allowance if they are in full-time education which would be suitable for young people of the same age who are not disabled.
Mr. Rooney: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many hours of study people in receipt of invalid care allowance will be allowed to undertake
Column 380
without jeopardising benefit entitlement when the jobseeker's allowance is introduced. [16144]Mr. Hague: Those in receipt of invalid care allowance will be allowed to undertake a part-time course at a higher education establishment or up to 16 guided learning hours of study at a college of further education without jeopardising entitlement to jobseeker's allowance. We have no plans at present to change the invalid care allowance rules, which allow 21 hours study a week. As now, full-time students will be excluded from benefit.
Ms Harman: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list (a) the number of employees in employment in every wages council industry whose hourly pay rate was the wages council hourly rate for all quarters from spring 1992 to summer 1993, (b) the number of employees in employment in every former wages council industry whose hourly pay rate was the wages council hourly rate for all quarters from autumn 1993 to the last quarter, in each case expressing the data by individual wages council industry and using micro data from the quarterly labour force survey; [14228] (2) if he will list the hourly wage rate for all employees in employment in every former wages council sector whose hourly wage rate was the wages council rate prior to the abolition of the wages councils, expressing the data by individual wages council sector, for all quarters beginning autumn 1993 up to the latest quarter, and using micro-data from the quarterly labour force survey. [14229]
Mr. Oppenheim [holding answer 16 March 1995]: The labour force survey did not ask questions about earnings until winter 1992 93. The information from LFS that could be obtained without incurring disproportionate costs is in the following table:

Mr. Gordon Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what assessment he has made of the advantages and disadvantages of using narrow based rates in the regional unemployment statistics. [14919]
Mr. Oppenheim: The wide-based rate is a sensible way to expressing the claimant unemployment rate since its denominator has a more complete coverage of the workforce and it is the only rate which is quoted in the labour market statistics national press notice. Narrow-based rates are published in the Employment Gazette and on NOMIS, the Department's on-line
Column 382
database. There are no plans to change these arrangements.Ms Bridget Prentice: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment to whom training and enterprise councils are financially accountable. [15787]
Mr. Paice: Training and enterprise councils are independent companies, mostly limited by guarantee, and are run by a board of directors who are also their members. The board has ultimate responsibility for all its TEC's financial obligations.
Column 383
As with other independent private companies, these obligations arise from a TEC's contractual relations with other parties. In the event of a TEC being unable to meet its financial obligations, the Companies Acts and Insolvency Act make provision for relevant affected parties to seek redress. These parties can request the courts and/or the Department of Trade and Industry to appoint an administrator, receiver or liquidator, with a view to controlling, disposing and investigating the company's affairs.Mr. Rooney: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what progress has been made in awarding TECs three-year licences; and how many have been granted such licenses. [16141]
Mr. Paice: Training and enterprise councils have made significant progress in meeting the demanding criteria required to be awarded three- year licences. Twenty-one TECs have already obtained licences to operate from 27 March this year. The other 53 English TECs have until 1997 to meet the criteria.
Mr. Rooney: To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what significant changes are being made to (a) the TEC operating agreement for 1995 96 and (b) the TEC quality assurance supplier management requirements; and if he will place copies of these in the Library. [16140]
Mr. Paice: The training and enterprise council operating agreement for 1995 96 has been significantly redrafted to:
incorporate the requirements of TEC licensing;
include new programmes announced in the competitiveness White Paper;
include the services funded by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade; and
improve the clarity of the Government's contract with TECs. There have been no changes to the TEC quality assurance supplier management requirements. Copies of all relevant documents have already been placed in the Library.
Mr. Alan Williams: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people have been removed from doctors' lists in each of the last three years. [14736]
