House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 30 Oct 1996 (pt 2)

Occupational Diseases

Mr. Allen: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment which occupational diseases are not required to be reported under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995; and what proportion they constitute of all incidents of occupational disease. [656]

Sir Paul Beresford: The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 require reports to be made of diseases listed in schedule 3 to the regulations when a case has been diagnosed in writing by a doctor and the person concerned is currently employed in an associated work activity. Cases not meeting these criteria are not required to be reported. Information on what proportion they constitute of all occupational disease is not available.

The most recent analysis and discussion of occupational and work-related disease statistics, including reports made under these regulations, can be found in "Health and Safety Statistics 1995/96", published by the Health and Safety Commission, on 23 October 1996, a copy of which has been placed in the Library.

Landfill Tax

Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects all the arrangements for the landfill tax and environmental trusts to be fully developed and in place. [1149]

Mr. Clappison: All the arrangements for the landfill tax and environmental trusts have been fully developed and are already in place.

The primary law on landfill tax is contained in the Finance Act 1996, which received Royal Assent on 29 April 1996. The more detailed implementation aspects of the landfill tax are set out in the Landfill Tax Regulations 1996 (SI 1996 No.1527) which came into force on 1 August 1996. In addition, the Landfill Tax (Contaminated Land) Order 1966 (SI 1996 No.1528), setting out the provisions for exempting from tax waste from clearing historically contaminated land, came into force on 1 August 1996 and the Landfill Tax (Qualifying Material) Order (SI 1996 No.1528), defining the categories of waste to which the lower rate of tax applies, came into force on 1 October 1996.

Provisions for environmental trusts are contained in the Landfill Tax (Regulations) 1996 (SI 1996 No.1527). On 15 October 1996 the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise approved the Environmental Trust Regulatory Body Limited, trading under the name "ENTRUST" to act as the regulatory body for the

purposes of the environmental trust scheme. ENTRUST is responsible for enrolling and monitoring the operation of environmental trusts.

Marine Wild life and Habitats

Ms Ruddock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what biological and physiological parameters are monitored by his Department, in order to assess the cumulative impacts of discharges from offshore oil and gas installations on marine wildlife and habitats. [504]

Mr. Clappison: My Department, the Scottish Office and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food all maintain extensive programmes of marine monitoring, including the impact of human activities on the marine environment. In addition, the three country nature conservation agencies monitor the status of marine habitats and species in the United Kingdom waters. The Department of Trade and Industry is responsible for the overall regulation of the offshore oil and gas industry.

Local Government Finance

Mr. Patrick Thompson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to issue a consolidation of the 1990 local authority capital finance regulations. [1737]

Mr. Curry: A draft consolidation of these regulations is being issued this week to local authorities and other interested parties. A copy is being placed in the House Library. I am inviting comments on the draft by the end of January. The new regulations will come into effect next April and will supersede the 1990 regulations.

Vacant Offices

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the policy of his Department in respect of the future of (a) 25 Southampton buildings, (b) the Patent Office and (c) the Office of Fair Trading following vacation of these premises. [441]

Mr. John M. Taylor: I have been asked to reply.

I have asked the chief executive of the Patent Office to write direct to the hon. Member.

Letter from J. C. Octon to Mr. D. N. Campbell-Savours, dated 30 October 1996:

I am replying for the Patent Office in the absence of the Chief Executive to your Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for the Environment about 25 Southampton Buildings.

The Patent Office is only a minor user of 25 Southampton Buildings and as such has no policy responsibility for the building. That now rests with the Department of National Heritage with which we have made arrangements for the accommodation of our remaining London staff. While these arrangements are helpful the future presence of the Patent Office in London is not totally dependent upon them. If the need arose we would be able to seek appropriate alternatives.

EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT

Nursery Vouchers

Sir Ralph Howell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what considerations led her to decide not to make it her policy to ensure that every provider accepting Government nursery vouchers registers its under-fives provisions under the Children Act 1989 and associated guidance. [763]

Mr. Robin Squire: The Children Act 1989 requires all day care providers to register with their local authority. Maintained primary and nursery schools and independent schools have always been exempt from the registration

30 Oct 1996 : Column: 124

requirement. My right hon. Friend does not consider it necessary or appropriate to remove this exemption, as these other providers are separately covered by education legislation.

Teachers

Sir David Knox: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many teachers were (a) employed and (b) employed in grant-maintained schools in each local education authority in England in the most recent year for which figures were available; and what were the figures in the previous six years. [1027]

Mr. Forth: The information is given in the following table:
