Public Bodies (Funding)

Mr. Don Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much grant in aid funding was given to the (a) Advisory Committee on Historic Wreck Sites, (b) Advisory Committee on the Government Art Collection, (c) Advisory Council on Libraries, (d) Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art, (e) Spoliation Advisory Panel, (f) Treasure Valuation Committee, (g) Working Group on Human Remains, (h) Advisory Group on Illicit Trade, (i) Live Music Forum, (j) Review of BBC's Digital Television Services and (k) Review of BBC's Digital Radio Services in 2002–03; what the administration costs of each were in that year; and what the projected grant in aid (i) is for each in 2003–04 and (ii) will be for each in (A) 2004–05 and (B) 2005–06. [173705]

Mr. Caborn: English Heritage administers the Advisory Committee on Historic Wreck Sites out of its core grant in aid. The role of the secretariat passed from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) with the successful passage of the National Heritage Act 2002 and has not formed part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's administration costs since then.

The actual and forecast cost of support to the Committee, which includes travel and subsistence and expenses for board members, is as follows:
(a) Advisory Committee on Historic Wreck Sites

	£000
2002–03	<1
2003–04	5
2004–05	1
2005–06	1

The other Advisory Committees, Groups and Reviews (b-k) form part of the Administration and Research budget of DCMS; they are not recipients of grant in aid.Their administration costs are borne by the DCMS whose staff provide secretariat support, accommodation and legal advice. These costs are centrally budgeted and could be disaggregated only at disproportionate cost. Details of the Department's administration costs are published in the DCMS Annual Report 2004, Vol. 1 (CM 6220). Copies may be obtained from the Library of the House.

Other support to the committees (b-i), which includes travel and subsistence, expenses for board members and publications, did not exceed £100,000 in total in both years 2002–03 and 2003–04. Forecast total budgets for 2004–05 and 2005–06 are not expected to exceed £100,000 in either year.

There was no expenditure relating the Review of the BBC's Digital Television and Radio services (j-k) in 2002–03 and 2003–04. The combined budget for these reviews in 2004–05 will not exceed £200,000.

TRANSPORT

Civil Contingencies Bill

Patrick Mercer: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether (a) port facility security officers and (b) airport security officers would be counted as category 2 responders under the Civil Contingencies Bill. [170069]

Mr. Jamieson: The Bill provides that a harbour authority within the meaning of section 46(1) of the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990 and an airport operator within the meaning of section 82(1) of the Airports Act 1986 would be considered as category 2 responders. It will be for them to decide on how they carry out their requirements subject to any guidance issued under the provisions of the Bill.

Departmental Officials

Mr. Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many officials in his Department and associated agencies have initially withheld their salaries from official departmental and parliamentary publications and subsequently disclosed this information in each year since 1997. [172085]

Mr. McNulty: Since the Department was formed in May 2002 there have been no officials who have initially withheld their salaries from official departmental and parliamentary publications and subsequently disclosed this information.

Driving Standards Agency

Mr. Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many overseas visits have been made by management at the Driving Standards Agency in each year since 1997; and what the total cost of these visits is. [174182]

Mr. Jamieson: In April 2003, the Driving Standards Agency introduced an electronic system for the payment of staff travel and subsistence. This shows that during 2003–04, members of the agency's corporate management team made 28 overseas visits, at a cost of some £30,000.

Before April 2003, travel expense claims were dealt with as paper transactions and it is not possible for the agency to identify the information easily.
