Sellafield
Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the primary use is of each of the facilities B1 to B100 at BNFL's Sellafield site; whether their status is (a) operational, (b) closed pending clean-up, (c) cleaned-up pending decommissioning, (d) decommissioned, (e) demolished and (f) other; and for those which are planned to be decommissioned, what estimated timescale has been provided by BNFL for their decommissioning. [174005]
Mr. Timms:
Information that permits buildings within BNFL's Sellafield site to be located by function is considered to be a matter of national security. It is not Government policy to disclose such information, which could potentially be of use to terrorists. However this policy does not apply to those buildings which are cleaned-up pending decommissioning or have already been decommissioned or demolished. Information on BNFL buildings falling within these categories is as follows:

Spam
Michael Fabricant: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what legislative measures her Department proposes to take against spam; and if she will make a statement on the estimated cost of spam to British businesses. [176612]
Mr. Timms: The Government have implemented the EU Directive on Electronic Communications by introducing the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations in December 2003 under which the sending of unsolicited direct marketing (spam) e-mails to individual subscribers is prohibited. For corporate subscribers the regulations are slightly different. Direct marketing companies are required to ensure that the identify of the sender is clearly stated in the e-mail with a valid address, which the recipient can use to request that further e-mails are not sent to them.
The Government do not have an estimate of the cost to British business of unsolicited direct marketing (spam) e-mails. The UK is involved in a current exercise conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, which aims to develop better techniques for measuring spam and estimating its impact.
Stem Cell/Embryo Research
Barbara Follett: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proportion of the Medical Research Council's 2004–05 funding is devoted to stem cell and embryonic research. [176084]
Ms Hewitt: The MRC received £26 million of the £40 million made available by the Government in the 2002 spending review for research into stem cells. £12.6 million has been awarded so far. Other embryonic and/or stem cell research may also be supported by MRC via responsive mode funding during 2004–05.
It is not possible to calculate what proportion of the Council's income will be spent on any area of research as MRC has not yet made all the funding decisions for 2004–05.

with a contraceptive implant in the Greater Manchester Strategic Health Authority in each year since 2000, broken down by age; [175766]
(2) how many attendances at family planning clinics by people of 19 years and under there were in Greater Manchester Strategic Health Authority in each year since 2000, broken down by (a) sex and (b) age. [175784]
Miss Melanie Johnson: The available information is shown in the tables. Information by age is only collected centrally for women on their first attendances during the year (first contacts) at family planning clinics and for contraceptive implants fitted by family planning clinics. Totals only are shown for women under 20 due to small numbers.
In England we are taking a number of steps, through the Government's national strategy for sexual health and HIV and teenage pregnancy strategy, to reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy. The Government are working to improve access to contraceptive services and the range of methods of contraception that are available and to improve sex and relationships education. The number of family planning sessions aimed at young people has increased to tackle high levels of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. We have also established a group of key experts to develop an action plan to support the improvement of contraceptive services at local level.
