Rwanda: Genocide Investigation

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they agree with Justice Goldstone, who said at a meeting held under the auspices of the US delegation to the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva to discuss "Genocide: Its Prevention and Prosecution" on Wednesday 17th April 1996, that with 24 investigators, the Rwanda tribunal has a hopeless task, and that if it was 124, it would still be inadequate; and if they will therefore call for the number of investigators to be increased to at least 100, the additional cost being funded by a small percentage cut in the salaries of all United Nations staff.

We are sympathetic to the problems that face the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. However, we do not believe that redeploying resources at the expense of staff is likely to be acceptable to the General Assembly, which decides conditions of services in the UN.

Israel's Attack On Iraqi Nuclear Installation

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they considered at the time, and still consider, that the Israeli attack on the Iraqi nuclear plant in 1981 was unlawful.

The United Kingdom voted for UN Security Council Resolution 487, which condemned the Israeli attack on the Iraqi nuclear installation at Osiraq.

Israel: Nuclear Activities

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they still have no information about Israeli nuclear weapons.

We remain concerned about reports that Israel may have a nuclear weapons programme. We continue to urge Israel to allay international suspicions about her nuclear activities by acceding to the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a non-nuclear-weapon State.

Chemical Weapons: Destruction

asked Her Majesty's Government:whether the Chemical Weapons Convention envisages the unilateral destruction, by signatories of

the convention or by others, of facilities that through their own national technical means they deem may be intended for the production of chemical weapons, and if not, whether they will discuss with the United States its reported threats to "take out" the site (

International Herald Tribune, 20th April 1996).

The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) requires each State Party to close all chemical weapons production facilities on its territory within 90 days of entry into force, and destroy all such facilities within 10 years.The CWC will enter into force six months after 65 countries ratify. Libya is not a signatory. The convention does not directly address the matter of chemical weapons production facilities in non-States Parties.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the United States has registered with the appropriate international body its suspicions that the site the Libyan Government claims is part of its Great Man Made River Project (ME/2591 MED/30) is in fact intended as a chemical weapons production facility, and if so, what steps is that body (or any other, until the Chemical Weapons Convention comes into force) proposing to take to establish the truth of the matter.

We are not aware of action by the United States to involve any international body in the investigation of this site.

Road Measurement Units

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they plan to substitute kilometres for miles on road signposts and, if not, why imperial road measurements of length are not taught in schools.

We have no plans to change to metric distances in the UK. The mathematics National Curriculum requires pupils by the age of 11 to understand imperial units still in daily use and their approximate metric equivalents.

Rail Franchising Director

asked Her Majesty's Government:What procedures will be used to recruit the successor to Roger Salmon as Rail Franchising Director; and what duration of contract of employment they will offer the successful candidate.

The Department of Transport has appointed Saxton Bampfylde International plc to advise it on the recruitment of a successor to Mr. Salmon. The post of Franchising Director will be advertised in due course. The precise terms of the appointment, including the duration of the contract, are matters for negotiation with the candidates.

Dearing Report: Terms Of Reference

asked Her Majesty's Government:Why, in commissioning Sir Ron Dearing's report on education for 16 to 19 year-olds, they failed to ask him to consider the Continental practice of having separate institutions and distinct examinations for academic and vocational courses, and advise whether this pattern might be applicable to England and Wales.

Sir Ron Dearing was given a broad remit in order to allow him to carry out his review as he saw fit. During his review Sir Ron did in fact consider education and training structures in several OECD countries. The results were published in July 1995 in his interim report. Copies are available in the House of Lords Library.Sir Ron's final report was published on 27th March 1996. It made clear that it is widely considered to be a strength of the qualifications framework in this country that it "makes it possible to combine elements from more than one qualifications pathway". Sir Ron's proposals, which have been welcomed by the Government, would strengthen that aspect of the framework further.

Comfrey

asked Her Majesty's Government:Why, in view of the fact that comfrey tablets and capsules undergo no concentrating process but are simply the plant's dried root and leaf, mixed with inert excipients, they have ordered the withdrawal of these products from sale instead of treating them as whole foods whose ingredients should not be assessed in isolation.

The data considered by the Government's independent expert advisory committee, the Committee on Toxicity of Food, Consumer Products and the Environment, indicated that the toxic substances known as pyrrolizidine alkaloids were found in high concentrations in tablets and capsules made from comfrey. The whole food approach was not therefore considered appropriate.

Services For Drug Misusers: Task Force Review

asked Her Majesty's Government:When they will publish the report of the Task Force to Review Services for Drug Misusers.

The report of the task force, which was chaired by the Reverend Dr. John Polkinghorne, President of Queen's College Cambridge, will be published tomorrow. Copies will be placed in the Library.

Social Security Costs

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, following their statement to the House on 29th November 1995, (H.L. Deb, col. 593), that social security is costing the average working person £15 every working day, they will provide information on how that figure is composed; what services and types of pensions and benefits are included in the term "social security"; what is the wage of the "average working person" and how many days per week are included in the term "every working day".

The information is set out in the table.

Grand total of Social Security spending 1995–96¹	£92.5 billion
Working population (workforce in employment)²	24.8 million
Working days per year	252
Calculation for the equivalent cost of Social Security per working person per working day is: (rounded to the nearest £1)	£15
The average weekly wage of working female adults in 1995–96³	£275.70
The average weekly wage of working male adults in 1995–96³	£382

Passport Agency

asked Her Majesty's Government:How the United Kingdom Passport Agency performed against its targets in 1995–96, and what performance targets they have set for the agency in 1996–97.

We are pleased to say that the United Kingdom Passport Agency achieved all its targets in 1995–96. The targets for processing properly completed straightforward applications were met despite a 20 per cent. increase in demand for passport services with an average turnaround time for the whole year of 6.1 working days, well within the average target of 7 working days. The Passport Agency's financial target was to reduce its unit cost by 5 per cent. in real terms. The latest indications are that the Agency has achieved a 7.25 per cent. real terms reduction in its cost. Another notable achievement was the re-award of the Chartermark in December 1995.During 1996–97, we shall expect the Passport Agency to continue to improve its standard of service to the public, while seeking further efficiency savings in its operations.

Immigration And Nationality Directorate: Complaints Report

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have received the annual report for 1995 of the Complaints Audit Committee of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate.

A copy of the report has been placed in the Library. It is a wide-ranging, informative and encouraging document and we are grateful to the committee for its comments and recommendations. These are already receiving careful consideration.
