Points System
Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the weighting of earnings is for the purposes of the proposed points system for entry as a highly skilled migrant for applicants from (a) India, (b) Pakistan, (c) Nigeria and (d) Ghana. [68541]
Mr. McNulty: Highly skilled migrants will enter under tier 1 of the proposed points-based system and receive points for a number of attributes including their previous earnings. Under tier 1 of the proposed points-based system high-skilled migrants will receive points for a number of attributes they can demonstrate, including their previous earnings. As with the current High Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP), salaries earned overseas will be converted at an appropriate rate so that we can equate the earnings of equivalent workers between countries which have different income levels. The precise details of the points-based system, including salary conversion rates, are being developed and will be announced in advance of our implementation of the points-based system.
Prisons
David T.C. Davies: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what checks are in place in prisons to ensure that when halal meat is offered to prisoners as an alternative, non-halal meat is also made available. [67974]
Mr. Sutcliffe: Guidance has been issued to all prisons that when a halal meat or poultry menu choice is offered an alternative non-halal meat or poultry choice must be provided. The halal choice must be clearly identified on the published menu. Aside from local management requirements to follow this guidance regular checks are made by area catering managers.
Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how long each prison governor had served as governor as at 31 March 2006; who the governor of each prison is; what relevant specialist qualifications he or she holds; what the details are of his or her career to date; on what date each joined the Prison Service; at which prisons each has served as a governor; when each is expected to retire; who has been appointed to replace him or her; and if he will make a statement. [66883]
10 May 2006 : Column 327W
Mr. Sutcliffe: The table contains a list of current governors-in-charge of each public sector Prison Service establishment together with their length of tenure at their current establishment. The names of Directors of contracted establishments is also included. All other information requested, including that considered personal information for which individual consent to release is required, can only be obtained at disproportionatecost. Information on the career histories and personal details of Directors of contracted (privately) managed establishments is not routinely collected and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
