National Debt
Mr. Rooker: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the method of calculation of the national debt; and if he will indicate the level of national debt per person in each of the last 20 years. [10771]
Mr. Waldegrave: Estimates of a range of measures of public debt, including net public sector debt, gross general government debt and the national debt, are published in November's edition of the Bank of England quarterly bulletin. The figures are calculated using sector by sector information on debt outstanding--for example, the nominal value of government stocks and Treasury bills outstanding and notes and coins in circulation--most of which is held by the Bank of England.

SCOTLAND
Dog Fouling (Prosecutions)
Mr. Donohoe: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many prosecutions there have been in Scotland for dog fouling during each of the last five years. [11921]
29 Jan 1997 : Column: 240
Lord James Douglas-Hamilton: The information requested is not separately identifiable in the Scottish Office Home Department's classification of crimes and offences.
Forestry Commission (Woodland Sales)
Ms Ruddock: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all Forestry Commission woodlands currently for sale, and indicate for each (a) into which English or Welsh county or Scottish region it falls, (b) the number of hectares covered and (c) if an access agreement has been made with the local authority guaranteeing continuing public access.
Mr. Kynoch [pursuant to his answer, 12 November 1996, c. 149-53]: The chief executive of Forest Enterprise has written further to the hon. Member.
Letter from Gordon M. Cowie to Ms Joan Ruddock, dated 29 January 1997:
(10) CPA agreement/completed.
(11) CPA agreement being negotiated.
29 Jan 1997 : Column: 242
I refer to my letter of 12 November 1996, which enclosed a list of the Forestry Commission Woodlands that were currently for sale, in response to your Parliamentary Question.
I am very sorry to say the list for Wales was incorrect due to confusion arising from the changeover from the old County Councils to the new Unitary Authorities on 1 April 1996.
I therefore enclose a revised list for Wales and I can only apologise for this error.

Scottish Enterprise
Mr. Donohoe: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what measures have been introduced by the Scottish Enterprise network during the last two years to promote greater openness in its operations. [12132]
Mr. Kynoch: This is a matter for Scottish Enterprise. I have asked the chairman to write to the hon. Member.
Assisted Places Scheme
Mrs. Liddell: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many extra assisted places he is planning to make available to children between the ages of five and 11 years; what is the estimated cost of the extra places; and what will be the timetable for making them available. [12650]
Mr. Raymond S. Robertson: The age of assisted pupils is not collected centrally.
We plan to provide funding in the 1997-98 school session sufficient for around 500 additional assisted places, so that there will be around 4,000 assisted places in total. It is for participating schools to determine to whom, and at what stage level, assisted places can be given, dependent on actual applications received and the availability of fee remission grants. The estimated total cost of the scheme for the 1997-98 school session will be around £15.4 million. Within that figure, the cost of the additional 500 places is estimated at around £2 million.
We plan to expand provision in subsequent school sessions so that, in time, around 6,000 assisted places can be provided in Scotland.
Mrs. Liddell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of families of pupils receiving help from the assisted places scheme had household incomes of (a) more than £18,000 per annum and (b) less than £9,522 per annum in Scotland in the last academic year. [12654]
Mr. Robertson:
Provisional statistics for the 1995-96 school session indicate that 20.8 per cent. of assisted pupils came from families whose relevant income was greater than £18,000 per annum. The relevant income point at which full fee remission was applicable in that session is £9,711 per annum, and 46.8 per cent. of assisted pupils came from families whose relevant income was less than that level.
Mrs. Liddell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many pupils attended each school taking part in the assisted places scheme in Scotland in the last academic year; how many pupils in each case were on the assisted places scheme; and what was the percentage of pupils on the assisted places scheme in each case.

Mrs. Liddell: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list for each year in which the assisted places scheme has been operating (a) the number of places available, (b) the number taken up, (c) the amount budgeted each year for the scheme and (d) the amount actually spent in Scotland. [12651]
Mr. Robertson: Participating schools are not allocated a specific number of assisted places which they may award. Each school is allocated a specific level of fee remission grant within which it may assist such pupils as can be afforded. In addition, schools can reclaim the cost of incidental expenses grants to which assisted pupils are entitled. The table therefore provides information on the number of pupils assisted each year and the actual costs incurred, including the costs of incidental expenses grants.
