asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will publish in the Official Report a table comparing the average cost of both Houses of Parliament including and excluding pay and allowances, each year since 1970 in terms of constant prices.

Total identified costs for the Houses of Parliament for the financial years 1981–82 to 1984–85 are given in the table:

£'000
	1981–82	1982–83	1983–84	1984–85
Cost of Parliament including pay and allowances	56,192	63,463	69,598	77,464
Cost of Parliament excluding Members' pay and allowances and Peers' expenses	35,743	41,419	42,981	48,082

These figures are expressed in cash terms. Figures in terms of constant prices and figures for earlier years could be obtained only at disproportionate expense.

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will publish in the Official Report a table comparing the average cost of paying and supporting an hon. Member of this House with such information as he has as to the comparable figure for supporting a member of the Assembly of the EEC; and if he will compare the total costs of the Commons with such information as he has as to the total costs of the European Assembly, the French National Assembly and the Canadian House of Commons all for latest available date.

The latest available figures on the pay and allowances of parliamentarians which have been compiled on a comparable basis are given in the 20th report of the Review Body on Top Salaries (May 1983). For the British House of Commons and the European Parliament these are as follows:

United Kingdom House of Commons
Salary	Allowances
Basic salary of £14,510. Maximum salary of £15,362 for those who draw the London allowance of £852 pa which is taxable. Whole of salary taxable	£8,752 secretarial allowance; £875 to meet cost of secretarial pension scheme; £4,376 to employ temporary assistance in event of illness of secretary; all maxima £5,518 (maximum) subsistence allowance. £200 allowance to assist in drafting Private Member's Bill. £1,459 to assist in clearing up the affairs of a deceased, retired or defeated Member of Parliament. (Year beginning April 1982)

asked the Lord Privy Seal what measures are being taken to reduce queues at the entrance to the line of route for visitors to the Palace of Westminster.

The Services Committee has approved the following additional measures for visitors to the Line of Route with effect from 21 October 1985:

(1) The special permit system, currently operating between March and July will be taken into use throughout the remainder of the sitting year.

(2) The door at Norman porch will be opened daily at 9.30 am instead of 10 am.

asked the Prime Minister if she now proposes to announce any ministerial changes.

I have no immediate plans to do so.

asked the Prime Minister if Her Majesty's Government will take steps formally to consult the residents of the Falkland Islands by means of a referendum about their attitudes to resettlement with compensation.

The Falkland islanders have consistently made clear, through their elected representatives, their desire to remain resident in the islands. We shall continue to protect their right to live there in peace and security under a Government of their own choosing.

asked the Prime Minister whether she will make an official visit to Southampton.

I have at present no plans to do so.

asked the Prime Minister if she will pay an official visit to Southall.

I have at present no plans to do so.

asked the Prime Minister what consideration she will now give to obtaining more up-to-date information on the amount spent on scientific research and development each year, indicating the pattern over recent years, broken up into public and industrial, civil and military, pure and applied, and as a percentage of gross domestic product.

Expenditure on research and development in science and technology in the United Kingdom is published biennially in the August edition of Economic Trends. Information in respect of 1983 will be published in the August 1985 edition. Annual data would impose too large a burden on industry as the Government stated in their response to the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology in November 1983. Government expenditure on research and development is published annually in the same edition of Economic Trends.

asked the Prime Minister if she will seek to visit the drought-stricken areas of eastern Africa.

I have at present no plans to do so, but my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Overseas Development has just returned from a visit to Ethiopia and made a full report to me.

asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Thursday 25 July.

asked the Prime Minister if she will list her official engagements for Thursday 25 July.

I refer the hon. Gentlemen and my hon. Friends to the reply that I gave earlier today to the hon. Member for Barnsley, West and Penistone (Mr. McKay).

asked the Prime Minister what has been the trend in total expenditure on research and development in the 1980s and in the 1970s, and as expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product; what it represents as a percentage of gross domestic product; and how this compares with the expenditure in other European and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

The information requested for the United Kingdom is available only for years in which a survey of industrial research and development expenditure on science and technology is undertaken and is shown in the following tables.

asked the Prime Minister if she will make a statement on the policy of migration from the less to the more prosperous areas of the United Kingdom as a means of tackling unemployment and the implications of this policy on the planning processes of elected local authorities.

Regional industrial policy aims to reduce regional imbalances on a stable long-term basis, and to encourage indigenous potential within assisted areas. People may move from areas of persistently high unemployment to areas where employment prospects are better. The Government wish to facilitate greater geographical and occupational mobility by freeing markets, particularly in labour and housing, and by making the planning system more sensitive to changing needs. The planning system is the main vehicle for ensuring adequate provision for development to meet changing requirements. In preparing plans authorities are required to take account of guidance issued by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Environment, for example the strategic guidance which he has issued for the west midlands and south east regions.

asked the Prime Minister if she will publish in the Official Report the list of members of the

The information requested is as follows:

In accordance with longstanding practice I am not prepared to disclose information on these matters, publication of which would not be in the public interest.

asked the Prime Minister which Government Departments provide representatives to the planning boards of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation wartime civil agencies; who are currently appointed as United Kingdom representatives to these bodies and to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Civil Defence Planning Committee; and what is the cost of United Kingdom participation in such activities.

The United Kingdom is represented as follows:opportunity to raise the issue of nuclear non-proliferation and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty with foreign Governments or Heads of State.

Both Foreign and Commonwealth Office Ministers and I have raised nuclear non-proliferation with a wide range of countries. In particular, we have urged many of the countries which have yet to adhere to the non-proliferation treaty to become members.

asked the Prime Minister if the United Kingdom intends taking part in collaborative research with the United States of America on the nuclear pulsed X-ray laser project within the strategic defence initiative.

The question of British participation in the strategic defence initiative research programme is still under consideration and no decisions have been taken.

asked the Prime Minister if she will state the monthly increase of take-home salary for the categories of persons covered by the eighth report on top salaries at 1 April 1986 where the individual is married and receives only basic tax allowances.

[pursuant to her reply, 24 July 1985]: Using current tax rates and income bands and asssuming the married man's tax allowance only, the average monthly increase in take-home pay comparing the rates of pay in force before 1 July 1985 with those which will apply from 1 March 1986 are estimated at:

• for senior civil servants £157;
• for senior Armed Forces officers £222;
• for the judiciary £213.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the area of moorland in Wales which is predominantly heather; and if he will express this as a percentage of the total less-favoured area within Wales.

The information on which to base such an estimate is not readily available.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the decline in area of freehold rough grazing between (a) 1955 and 1981 and (b) 1981 and 1984, in Wales in those parishes comprising the original less-favoured areas.

This information is not available for less-favoured area parishes in 1955. In Wales as a whole rough grazing in sole occupation declined from 533,758 ha in 1955 to 356,742 ha in 1981. Details of sole occupation rough grazing in LFA parishes are available from 1980. This information is as follows:

Year	Area (ha)
1980	292,925
1981	300,898
1982	292,210
1983	291,027
1984	290,672

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list those water supplies in Wales which do not fulfil the requirements of the European Economic Community directive on drinking water, with regard to the levels of aluminium, iron, manganese and lead in such supplies.

In respect of lead a regional delay until December 1989 is being sought from the European Commission under article 20 to enable the Welsh water authority to complete its remedial programme of works. At the commencement of the programme the authority identified that supplies serving some 600,000 people needed remedial work. Improvements to date have reduced this number substantially.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what response he has received from the Welsh water authority about the possibility of privatising the water industry in Wales.

A copy of the Welsh water authority's response has been placed in the Library of the House.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if, in view of the Gwynedd social services tribunal decision at Colwyn Bay on Friday 19 July, he will seek an urgent meeting with officers of Gwynedd county council to ascertain the implications of this decision on local government services in Welsh-speaking areas.

The decision of the industrial tribunal has no immediate impact on the delivery of services by the authority to any particular client group. There is provision for appeal and in view of this and the fact that written judgment is not yet available I cannot comment further on this issue.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will issue a circular to local authorities in Wales indicating for which jobs a knowledge of the Welsh language may be a condition of employment where, in the view of the authority, the jobs require regular contact with persons who may wish to communicate in the Welsh language.

No.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he has considered the future of the Welsh health technical services organisation; and if he will make a statement.

Following the assumption of his duties last February I have appointed the director of the NHS in Wales to be chairman of the Welsh health technical services organisation from 1 April, and asked him to examine and report to me on the future of the organisation. The director has subsequently made a number of recommendations which I have approved. These are designed to strengthen the management of the organisation and make it more responsive to the needs of health authorities and the NHS generally in Wales. A general manager has been appointed from 1 July and constitutional changes affecting the name and status of the organisation and a reduction in the number of board members is provided for in the Welsh Health Common Services Authority Constitution Order 1985 which was laid before this House on 9 July and will come into effect on 1 August. (S.I.,1985–996).

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he has yet reached a decision on the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Designation Order made by the Countryside Commission on 7 June 1984.

I have today confirmed the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Designation Order as submitted by the Countryside Commission. This proposal attracted the attention of a broad range of interests in and around the area and my decision was taken only after I had fully considered the representations made both for and against the designation and visited the area.

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland if he will give the number of non-legally qualified staff employed in the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in 1983, 1984 and 1985, respectively.

for Scotland: The information is as follows:

	1983	1984	1985
Non-legally qualified staff in:
(a) Crown Office	67·0	81·0	78·0
(b) Procurator Fiscal Service	652·0	665·0	669·5

asked the Solictor-General for Scotland if he will give the cost of operating the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, respectively, in the financial years 1983–84 and 1984–85.

for Scotland: The total cost of operating the Crown Office and the Procurator Fiscal Service was as follows:

	Crown Office	Procurator Fiscal Service
	£	£
1983–84	1,538,428	9,788,367
1984–85	1,693,249	10,793,129

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland if he will give the number of qualified solicitors employed by the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in 1983, 1984 and 1985, respectively, and the salary costs of those employees in each of these years.

The following figures relate to solicitors and advocates as no distinction is made between the two branches of the profession in this context.

Number of qualified lawyers in Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service
		Numbers	Salary Costs
			£
	1983	223	3,699,864

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many animals have been deliberately inflicted with shock at the Medical Research Council trauma unit, Manchester, over the last 10 years.

I understand that the Medical Research Council trauma unit, which was established seven years ago, has used a total of 2,703 rats and 294 mice; no other species have been used. By no means have all these animals been subjected to the condition known as clinical shock, involving circulatory collapse. Experimental injuries are produced only in fully anaesthetised animals.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the policy of the Medical Research Council with regard to the use of animals in experiments at its trauma unit in Manchester.

The staff of the Medical Research Council's trauma unit, in common with all scientists supported by the council, are required to observe the principle that animals should be used in their research only when necessary, an in the minimum numbers consistent with achieving valid results in any experiment. The council also expects those whose work it supports to use, wherever possible, procedures which do not involve live animals. There are, however, many areas of medical research — of which the work of the trauma unit is an example — where, because of the need to study the complex interactions in a whole body, it is not possible to make progress without using experimental animals. In such cases research workers are required to carry out their work under licence from the Home Office, in strict accordance with the Cruelty to Animals Act 1876.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed on 12 July, Official Report, column 539, whether, in formulating his answer, he took account of the fact that the settlement for university teachers in August 1980 completed the negotiations of university teachers' pay on the basis of 1 October 1979.

Yes.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish figures to show the percentage increases in university teachers' salaries in cash and real terms for each year from 1 October 1974 to the latest available figure.

Set out below are the pay settlements awarded with effect from the dates shown:

	Pay settlements in cash terms Per cent.	Pay settlements in real terms Per cent.
1 October 1974	8·0	-7·7
1 October 1975	33·0	+5·7
1 October 1976	3·5	-9·8

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why the maintenance grant for a married undergraduate is assessed on the income of the student's parents; and if he will make a statement.

For the assessment of a parental contribution to be waived a student must normally have reached the age of 25 years before starting his course, or have previously supported himself out of earnings for not less than three years. Married students not satisfying one of these conditions have their grant abated by a parental contribution, since marriage alone is not considered to signify the degree of financial independence which would make it unreasonable to expect such a contribution. Married students not assessed for a parental contribution may nonetheless have their grant abated by a spouse's contribution.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, pursuant to his answer of 11 July, Official Report, columns 483–84, to the hon. Member for Leicester, East about teachers' salaries, he will publish comparable figures for head teachers' and deputy head teachers' salaries.

There are currently 14 overlapping but separate pay scales for head teachers and 12 for deputy heads. In some years pay increases have applied differentially, and overall average percentage increases for heads and deputies are not readily available. The following tables give approximate percentage settlement increases for the head teacher group 5 and deputy head group 4 scales, and the estimated percentage increases in overall average salaries for all heads and deputies, in cash and in real terms, for the periods requested.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether there is a shortage or a surplus of British graduates qualified in power electronics and microprocessing techniques, relative to the needs of industry; and what has been the shortage or surplus for each of the last five years.

There is no precise way of defining, the needs of industry for particular types of graduate engineer in areas relevant to the new technologies. However, the first report of the committee on IT skill shortages, chaired by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Trade and Industry, my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry, South West (Mr. Butcher). concluded that the employment market could readily absorb a greater number of graduates from disciplines relevant to the new technologies. Significant increases in such disciplines are currently taking place through the Government's IT in higher education initiative and the engineering and technology programme.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Cambridgeshire, North-East of 24 June, Official Report, columns 310–11, whether he will list in the Official Report the percentage changes in the funding of each university by the University Grants Committee, excluding those amounts representing compensation for changes in home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, changes to take account of minor capital works from the recurrent grant and changes in the level of local authority rates; and if he will provide similar information for the period between 1980–81 and 1981–82 (a) including and (b) excluding these amounts.

I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on the implications of the National Health Service pay award for recruitment and remuneration of clinical medical staff in academic institutions.

The implications of the NHS pay award for clinical academic staff in the medical schools are under consideration and I have at present nothing to add to the reply my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Macclesfield (Mr. Winterton) on 23 July 1985.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science by when he now expects to receive comments on the Green Paper, "The Development of Higher Education into the 1990s," Cmnd. 9524.

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science and my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be grateful if comments on the higher education Green Paper could be submitted by the end of January 1986. Comments may be sent to the following addresses:

Department of Education and Science, Room 5/11, Elizabeth House, London SE1 7PH.

Scottish Education Department, Room 3/114, New St. Andrew's House, Edinburgh EH1 3SY.

Mr. H. Evans, Welsh Office Education Department, Welsh Office, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF1 3NQ.

Department of Education for Northern Ireland, Room A6, Rathgael House, Balloo Road, Bangor, County Down, BT19 2PR.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what expenditure level he proposes to set for the new Inner London education authority in respect of 1986–87.

I propose to determine an expenditure level of £902 million for the new ILEA, which under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1985 will be automatically subject for three years to designation under part I of the Rates Act 1984. This sum represents a cash reduction of 1·5 per cent. on the budgeted total expenditure of the present ILEA in 1985–86 as adjusted. The adjustment allows for the new authority's responsibilities in respect of the Geffrye and Horniman museums, and also an estimate of the reduction in the authority's total expenditure which will result from my proposal to introduce a new contribution formula for the advanced further education pools. This adjustment will ensure that the ratepayers of Inner London receive the benefits of a new formula in the shape of a lower precept than they would otherwise have paid. In so far as ILEA's 1985–86 financial reserves are increased as a result of changing the formula this can of course be taken into account in setting the 1986–87 precept limit.Notice of the expenditure level which I determine will be formally served on the interim ILEA as soon as it is constituted under the Local Government Act 1985. However, the present ILEA is being informed today of what I propose.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is yet able to announce the form and terms of reference of the review of the University Grants Committee announced in the higher education Green Paper, Cmnd. 9524.

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and I, as the two Ministers who are advised by the University Grants Committee, propose to establish a committee whose terms of reference will be:

"To review, within the context of expected developments in higher education, the University Grants Committee's constitutional position and role in relation to the Government and to the universities, its membership, its internal structure and working methods, and its secretariat."

Lord Croham has accepted our invitation to be the chairman of the committee. The members of the committee will be announced as soon as possible. The secretary of the committee will be Mr. Peter Syme of the Department of Education and Science. The committee is expected to start work in the autumn. The committee will seek evidence as it considers appropriate, but any individuals or organisation wishing to submit preliminary observations should send them to the secretary of the committee at the Department of Education and Science before 30 October 1985.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available (a) the maximum paid in respect of one school and (b) the average paid in respect of one school under the assisted places scheme represented by incidental expenses of (i) travel, (ii) uniform, (iii) meals and (iv) all three;(2) whether he will list in the

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, columns 349–350]: The information requested for the school year 1984–85 is as follows:

	£	£
	Maximum paid to one school	Average paid to one school
Travel	9,469	1,354
Uniform	5,566	1,419
Meals	6,715	2,241
All Three	17,539	5,014

The average paid to one school in respect of travel, meals and uniform represents 3·9 per cent. of fee income from assisted pupils or 0·5 per cent. of that from all pupils.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) whether he will list in the Official Report for the latest year for which figures are available (a) the maximum paid in respect of one pupil, and (b) the average paid per pupil under the assisted places scheme for the incidental expenses of (i) travel, (ii) uniforms, and (iii) school meals and of (i), (ii) and (iii) together;(2) whether he will list in the

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, columns 349–350]: Information on payments for incidental expenses in respect of individual pupils is not collected by the Department. For the school year 1984–85, average payments per pupil were as follows:

	£ per pupil
Travel	29
Uniform	18
Meals	18
All Three	65

The total is equivalent to 4·8 per cent. of the tuition fee remission payments.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list in the Official Report the percentage fee increase in each school participating in the assisted places scheme in each year since its introduction; and what are the increases for the next academic year.

[pursuant to his reply, 22 July 1985, c. 349–50]: The information requested is as follows:
