Motorways (Abnormal Loads)
Mr. David Atkinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to privatise the escorting of wide and heavy loads on motorways by the police; and if he will make a statement. [20470]
Mr. Maclean: I have been asked to reply.
The Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers are examining the idea that on motorways and linking dual carriageways the escorting of abnormal loads which are between 4.3 and 4.6 m wide and 80 to 150 tonnes in weight might be carried out by suitably trained and qualified private escorts. The issue has recently been examined by consultants and their report is under consideration. The road haulage industry associations concerned with abnormal loads will be invited to comment on the report.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Pensioners
Mr. McMaster: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many pensioners in Scotland (a) are dependent on income support, (b) have incomes less than £10 above income support levels and (c) are placed above these levels by receipt of a contributory pension or superannuation scheme. [18986]

The figure is rounded to the nearest 1,000.
Source: income support statistics quarterly inquiry May 1994. (a) Case load figures are rounded to the nearest 5,000. (b) This is estimated using income brought to account for income support purposes, modelled from 1990, 1991 and 1992 family expenditure survey data uprated to 1995 96 prices and benefit levels.
(c) The definition of "contributory pension or superannuation scheme" used is:
--public and private pensions--occupational pensions;
--state retirement pensions.
Income-related Benefits
Mr. Murphy: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many British nationals who have paid tax and national insurance contributions in the United Kingdom have been excluded from income-related benefits on the grounds of the habitual residence test, before taking up appeals after returning to the United Kingdom from another member state of the European Union. [19267]
Mr. Roger Evans: This information is not available.
Mr. Murphy: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to limit income-related benefit payments to claimants who have paid tax and national insurance contributions in the United Kingdom. [19271]
Mr. Roger Evans: None. Tax and national insurance contributions are not taken into account when deciding entitlement to the income-related benefits.
Executive Agencies
Mr. MacDonald: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will give the number and location of Benefits Agency, Child Support Agency, Contributions Agency, the Information Technology Services Agency, Resettlement Agency, War Pensions Agency offices closed and the number of jobs lost or transferred as a result of agency work transferring from Scotland to the rest of the United Kingdom over the past five years and the number and location of offices opened and jobs gained in Scotland as the result of agency work transferring to Scotland from the rest of the United Kingdom over the same period. [20263]
Mr. Hague: The Benefits Agency opened the Glasgow benefit office in August 1989 and over the following 18 months 831 posts were gained as a result of work transferring from the rest of the United Kingdom. The central office for Scotland was closed in March 1992. During the 18-month run-down period the majority of posts were redistributed within Scotland and approximately 50 posts transferred to Leeds. The Child Support Agency opened an agency centre--CSAC--at Falkirk during 1993. As at the end of February 1995, the CSAC had a total of 721 posts dealing with new work created following the Child Support Act 1991.
Column 595
Over the last four years, the Contributions Agency has centralised some work at Newcastle while maintaining a local presence for face-to-face contact with customers. This has entailed some posts transferring to Newcastle from around the United Kingdom. Exact figures for posts transferring from Scotland to Newcastle could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.The Information Technology Services Agency, the Resettlement Agency and the War Pensions Agency have not transferred any work between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Residential and Nursing Homes
Mr. Wicks: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what information his Department has in respect of the numbers of people who are entering private residential or nursing homes, where such care is publicly financed but does not involve the local authority social services department in any assessment of need, or in any expenditure. [19898]
Mr. Roger Evans: Information is not available in the form requested. In November 1994, the number of residents who were in receipt of income support that included residential allowance was 80, 000. It is not known how many of these had been assessed or financially supported by social services. In addition, 201,000 residents have preserved rights to the higher levels of income support. It is not known how many of these receive financial support from the local authority.

Expenditure
Mr. Jenkin: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the underlying rate of growth in social security expenditure in the next 10 years, assuming level unemployment and assuming the full effects of all recently announced changes from the previous year. [20464]
Mr. Hague: The latest long-term projections of underlying growth in expenditure were published in the departmental report "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1995 96 to 1997 98", Cm 2813, which stated that recently announced reforms would contain growth between 1997 98 and 2000 01 to 2.1 per cent. a year, assuming level unemployment. Projections of social security expenditure over a 10-year period would be subject to considerable uncertainty.
Consultants
Mr. McAllion: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) how many former members of staff of his Department or its agencies are currently employed as consultants within his Department or its agencies; what is the length of the consultancy in each case; and what were their previous grades; [20343]
(2) how many former members of his staff are currently employed as consultants by DSS headquarters; what is the length of the consultancy in each case; and what were their previous grades. [20344]

Mr. Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 28 March, Official Report, column 557 (1) if he will break down by region the estimates of the numbers of (a) existing invalidity benefit claimants, (b) existing income support claimants, (c) new incapacity benefit claimants and (d) newincome support claimants who will be found capable of work in each of the years (i) 1995-96, (ii) 1996- 97 and (iii) 1997-98; [21019] (2) if he will break down by gender the estimates of the numbers of (a) existing invalidity benefit claimants, (b) existing income support claimants, (c) new incapacity benefit claimants and (d) new income support claimants who will be found capable of work in (i) 1995 96,(ii) 1996 97 and (iii) 1997 98. [21017]
Mr. Hague: The information is not available in the form requested. Estimates are available only on a national basis. There is insufficient data to allow them to be broken down regionally, or by gender.
Mr. Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) how many of those who move off incapacity benefit in 1995 he estimates will not qualify for unemployment benefit for reasons of (a) failing the contribution test or (b) failing the availability test; [21011]
(2) pursuant to this answer of 28 March, Official Report. column 557, how many of the people who will fail to qualify for contributory jobseeker's allowance will do so for reasons of (a) failing the contributions test or (b) failing the availability tests; [21022]
(3) how many people who move off incapacity benefit in 1995 96 he estimates will not qualify for unemployment benefit. [21012]
Mr. Hague: It is estimated that around 95,000 new and existing claimants found fit for work in 1995 96 will not qualify for unemployment benefit because of failure to satisfy the contribution conditions.
Information is not available as to the number of people who will not qualify for unemployment benefit or contributory jobseeker's allowance due to failure to satisfy the availability for work tests. Figure rounded to the nearest 5,000.
Column 598
Mr. Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people who move off incapacity benefit in 1995 96 will qualify for contributory jobseeker's allowance in each of the years 1996 97 and 1997 98. [21013]
Mr. Hague: The information requested is not available.
Public Bodies
Dr. Wright: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security which of the executive non-departmental public bodies sponsored by his Department have (a) a statutory requirement to admit members of the public to all board of committee meetings and (b) a statutory requirement to hold open meetings for the public. [20880]
Mr. Hague: The Occupational Pensions Board is the only executive non -departmental public body sponsored by this Department. There is no statutory requirement to admit members of the public to its board or committee meetings. However, there is a statutory requirement, under the provisions of the Occupational Pensions Board (Determinations and Review Procedure) Regulations 1973 to hold formal public hearings, in connection with reviews of the board's determinations, unless the board for any special reasons directs otherwise. If such a hearing is held privately, a member of the Council on Tribunals is entitled to attend.
Child Support Agency
Mr. Rogers: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many complaints have now been made to his Department or the Child Support Agency concerning the Child Support Agency. [19239]
Mr. Burt: The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for the chief executive, Miss Ann Chant. She will write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Miss Ann Chant to Mr. Allan Rogers, dated 26 April 1995:
I am replying to your Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security about the number of complaints received by the Child Support Agency.
The precise information you request is not available. Since launch to the end of February 1995, the Agency has recorded a total of
Column 599
34,449 letters of complaint; but a significant proportion of those complaints concern areas such as general policy or the powers of this Agency. Many of these letters are from persons who are opposed to the legislation but not actually affected by it. The number of letters received that contain complaints specifically about the Agency's performance is not separately identified, but it is considerably less than the overall figure shown above.I hope this is helpful.
Mr. Dewar: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the average amount of maintenance payable as a result of a full assessment by the Child Support Agency in cases where there are (a) one, (b) two and (c) more than two children, and the overall average figure excluding cases where the absent parent is on income support or other benefit and so paying the standard minimum contribution at the latest date for which figures are available. [19281]
Mr. Burt: The administration of the Child Support Agency is the responsibility of the chief executive, Miss Ann Chant. She will write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Miss Ann Chant to Mr. Donald Dewar, dated 26 April 1995:
I am replying to your recent Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security about the average amount of child maintenance payable following a full maintenance assessment by the Child Support Agency.
As at 11 March 1995, the average weekly maintenance payable by absent parents with income from employment, but excluding those receiving income support, following a full maintenance assessment, was £43.46. Information on the average maintenance payments broken down by the number of qualifying children involved is not available. I hope this is of help.
Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the total number to date of maintenance application forms issued by the Child Support Agency to parents with care that have not been returned, broken down to show (a) where good cause was accepted, (b) where good cause was investigated and not accepted, (c) where MAFs were issued at a parent with care's request which were subsequently found to have been duplicated, (d) where the parent with care ceased to claim benefit before returning the MAF and (e) the number of unreturned MAFs which were issued prior to 1 July 1994. [19152]
Mr. Burt: The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for the chief executive, Miss Ann Chant. She will write to the hon. Member.
Letter from Miss Ann Chant to Mr. Frank Field, dated 26 April 1995:
I am replying to your Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security about the number of maintenance application forms (MAF) issued by the Child Support Agency that have yet to be returned by the parent with care.
Since launch to the end of February 1995, a total of 1,217,941 maintenance application forms (MAF's) have been issued 867,883 of which have been returned, leaving an outstanding balance of 350,058. At that time 27,800 of the outstanding forms had only been issued during February. It is not possible to break the remaining 322,200 forms down into the categories that you request.
Some information that is available is as follows. The requirement to co- operate has been considered in a total of 146,790 cases. Good cause was accepted in 69,228 cases and refused in a further 53,174. The remainder (24,388) were cases where the parent with care (PWC) chose to name the absent parent (AP) before a decision on good cause was made.
Since September 1994, it has been possible to conduct good cause investigations without a MAF having been issued. No separate record is made of this type of investigation. Good cause may also
Column 600
be considered, for example, after a MAF has been returned if, in the case of a multiple assessment unit, the PWC chooses to name one or more APs while claiming good cause not to name one or more of the other APs, or where a MAF is returned incomplete but with a claim for good cause. The number of good cause investigations completed does not therefore provide a direct comparison with the number of MAF's not yet returned.Cases where a MAF is issued and is subsequently found to have been a duplicate, along with cases where a PWC ceases to claim benefit before a maintenance assessment is completed, are recorded as "other" clearances or closures. This is regardless of whether the MAF has been returned or not. No data are collected on the number of closures falling into particular categories, except for cases where good cause is accepted. Other examples of closures are: reconciliation of AP and PWC; AP abroad; AP not traced. This list is not exhaustive.
At present the Agency cannot provide a detailed analysis of the age of those cases where a MAF has not been returned but future enhancements to the Child Support Computer System which will provide this information are planned. However, as at the end of February, 16, 254 cases had been identified as part of the one off deferral exercise, announced in December 1994, referring to MAFs issued before 1 July 1994. This figure includes cases where no MAF had been returned and those where a partially completed form was received by the Agency and the PWC does not wish to pursue the matter.
WALES
West Wales Ambulance NHS Trust
Mr. Gareth Wardell: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list, in respect of the newly established West Glamorgan and Dyfed ambulance trust, (a) the date when the trust commenced its operational duties, (b) the date on which the chief executive was appointed, (c) the date when the chairman was appointed, (d) the number of applications he has received for the executive positions and the date he will announce the appointments and (e) the number of applications he has received for the lay membership and the date he will announce the appointments. [19929]
Mr. Richards: The information requested is as follows:
