Racial Hostility Offences

Mark Durkan: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many penalties for offences motivated by hostility towards a person's race have been increased since the Criminal Justice (No. 2) (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 made provisions for increased penalties. [53357]

Mr. Hanson: The information is currently not systematically recorded as requested. Court sentences are logged as substantively as finally pronounced in court without the impact of all of the aggravating and mitigating factors that may have had a bearing on individual disposals. However, the Government will be working with enforcement and prosecution authorities to explore how a mechanism could be put in place to collect this information.

Recyled Paper

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what percentage of paper used in printed publications in each of the last 10 years by each Department in Northern Ireland was from recycled sources. [53144]

Angela E. Smith: The information sought by the hon. Member could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Each Northern Ireland Department is aware that communicating effectively with target audiences through printed publications must be balanced with the need to ensure that minimum levels of wastage are incurred, including the use of recycled paper. Officials in the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister are currently conducting a review of practice across Departments, since October 2005, on the printing and distribution of Government publications to ensure that appropriate measures are being taken to ensure value for money.

Road Tolls

Mr. Peter Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he plans to implement toll payments for road usage in Northern Ireland. [52992]

Mr. Woodward: The Chief Executive of Roads Service (Dr. Malcolm McKibbin) has been asked to write to the hon. Gentleman in response to this question.

Letter from Dr. Maclcolm McKibbin, dated 28 February 2006:

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much money has been allocated for the development of curriculum materials for

(a) Irish medium schools and (b) integrated schools by the Department of Education in each of the last 10 years. [54136]


 
1 Mar 2006 : Column 785W
 

Angela E. Smith: (a) The Department of Education provided funding for the development of Irish medium curricular materials on an annual basis up to 1999–2000.
£
1995–9631,000
1996–9734,000
1997–9833,000
1998–99120,000
1999–2000235,000

For subsequent years, the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure provided funding to Foras na Gaeilge, the Irish Language Agency who have a statutory remit to promote the Irish language and who develop Irish curriculum materials. Information is not readily available to assess how much of this was spent on the development of curricular materials.

The Department of Education made one-off allocations for Irish medium curriculum materials of £86,000 in 2003–04 and £67,000 in 2005–06.

Under Common Funding for schools from April 2005, allocations to Irish-medium Post-primary schools and Units includes 25 per pupil to support the development of curricular materials. In 2005–06 this funding totalled £13,100. For primary Irish-medium schools and Units, a per pupil element of £100 is included in the formula allocations. However this level of funding reflects that these schools are required to teach English as an additional curricular requirement at Key Stage 2. It is not therefore possible to disaggregate the totality of funding provided to these schools for curricular materials development.

(b) Nil. Integrated schools do not receive specific funding for the development of curricular materials.
