House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 12 Dec 2000 (pt 9)

Crime and Disorder Act

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to issue guidance to local authorities on the implementation of section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. [142447]

Mr. Charles Clarke: The Home Office is in the process of producing a guidance document for local authorities on the implementation of section 17. It is being developed with the National Association of Care and Rehabilitation of Offenders and the Local Government Association and it is expected that it will be distributed early next year.

Immigration and Nationality Directorate

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department from which areas of his budget he has transferred the money to enable the budget for 2000-01 for the Immigration and Nationality Directorate to rise from the level provisionally agreed in the Comprehensive Spending Review to that noted in the IND Business Plan 2000-01. [142431]

Mrs. Roche: Following the Comprehensive Spending Review the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) was provisionally allocated a budget of £590 million for 2000-01, including £300 million for asylum support costs.

Additional financial provision was made available as set out in my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary's reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesham (Mr. Pond) on 10 November 2000, Official Report, column 430W. In respect of unaccompanied asylum seeking children, £3 million was transferred from the Department of Health. Provision was not transferred from other parts of the Home Office budget.

12 Dec 2000 : Column: 102W

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his estimate is of the budget available for (a) the Immigration and Nationality Directorate and (b) each unit and directorate within IND for the financial years (i) 2001-02, (ii) 2002-03 and (iii) 2003-04. [142430]

Mrs. Roche: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I provided on 24 July 2000, Official Report, column 450W.

The settlement for the next three financial years has not been disaggregated to directorate and unit level in the Immigration and Nationality Directorate.

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many staff days he estimates the Immigration and Nationality Directorate will devote to training in 2000-01 as a result of (a) the Human Rights Act 1998, (b) the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 and (c) the Freedom of Information Act 2000. [142463]

Mrs. Roche: Training in the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) is provided in different ways according to need, including via guidance material and team briefings as an alternative to, or to supplement, formal training. It is therefore impossible to estimate the total number of staff days IND will devote to training in these areas. The position in relation to each Act is summarised as follows:

(a) Human Rights Act 1998

IND has now virtually completed a comprehensive training programme. All staff were provided with introductory guidance in April 1999, and detailed staff instructions were issued subsequently. From May 1999, nominated staff attended half-day seminars on the Act and its implications for the work of IND. The final stage of the programme was to provide a two-day training course for those staff requiring in-depth knowledge of human rights issues. Figures for formal training activity undertaken thus far are provided in the table, along with an estimate of the formal training commitment in the immediate future. Human rights issues will of course be reflected where relevant in all future training activities.

(b) Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000

IND intends to implement an extensive training programme on the Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000. Where possible, this will be integrated with other relevant training programmes planned for the new year, including induction training for 700 new recruits to the Immigration

12 Dec 2000 : Column: 103W

Service and race awareness training due to be delivered to over 1,800 IND middle managers between January and March 2001. In addition, IND plans to provide more detailed training on the Act to approximately 550 key staff in March 2001.

(c) Freedom of Information Act 2000

The Home Office plans to organise a half-day pilot training event in IND, involving more than 50 staff, before the end of this financial year. This will be used to assess the Directorate's wider training needs in respect of Freedom of Information.

Immigration

Ms Glenda Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue guidance to entry clearance officers to ensure that visa applicants who do not clarify that the principal intention of their visit is to spend time with a family member can still be eligible for a right of appeal. [141734]

Mrs. Roche: It is for the applicant to make clear either on the application form or at interview that they intend to visit a family member in the United Kingdom. At interview the entry clearance officer will always seek to clarify the principal intention of the applicant and thus whether there will be a right of appeal against any refusal.

Ms Glenda Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if visa applicants are expressly notified of their possible qualification for legal aid if they request an oral hearing for their appeal; and if he will make a statement. [141735]

Mrs. Roche: Visa applicants are not expressly notified that they may qualify for Legal Services Commission funding. The Joint Entry Clearance Unit are urgently looking into ways of providing suitable advice.

Prison Staff

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many staff at each prison establishment in England and Wales were (a) on long-term sick leave and (b) on restricted duties in (i) December 1996, (ii) December 1997, (iii) December 1998, (iv) December 1999 and (v) the most recent date for which information is available. [142457]

Mr. Boateng: The information requested for long-term sickness absence is given in the table. Accurate recording of sickness absence centrally did not begin until 1 January 1999. There is no centrally held information of staff on restricted duties and this information could be collated only at disproportionate cost.

Staff recorded as on long-term sick leave by establishment as at 1 January 1999-2000 and 1 December 2000
