asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the report by Mr. A. V. Thomas on fire-fighting services in Nigeria is to be published; and which of its recommendations are to be implemented.

The report has now been published, and a copy has been placed in the Library of the House. The Federal Government have accepted its recommendations in principle and are now examining ways of implementing the proposals regarding Lagos. The Regional Governments are considering what action they will take on the report.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what books, newspapers and other printed publications are banned in British Somaliland; and what is the reason for such prohibition.

The importation and circulation of the publications listed are considered by the Governor to be contrary to the public interest. 1. All publications of— (i) Lawrence and Wishart Ltd. (ii) Pan African Brotherhood. (iii) Russia Today Society. (iv) Friends of the Soviet Union. (v) The Marcus Garvey Movement. (vi) The Communist Party of Great Britain. (vii) The Communist-International. (viii) The World Federation of Democratic Youth. (ix) The Women's International Democratic Federation. (x) The International Union of Students. (xi) The Information Bureau of the Communist and Workers' Parties. 2. The African. 3. Blitz. 4. Challenge. 5. The Daily Worker. 6. The Guardian. 7. Labour Monthly. 8. New Africa. 9. The New Times. 10. People's Age. 11. World News and Views. 12. Africa, Britain's Third Empire, by George Padmore, published by Denrds Dobson Ltd., 12, Park Place, St. James, London, S.W.1. 13. A publication in Arabic called "Majmua-Et-Qasaid," by Al Jassim bin Mohyi Al-Din Kassim Al Barawi, published by Sheikh Abdul Hamid Haj Abbadi, Bookseller, Aden. 14. Al-Rabita al Ismalia. 15. Saba.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds the Communist offer of negotiations to end fighting in Malaya has been rejected.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies (1) if he is aware that the insurgents have written to the Alliance Party in Malaya suggesting a meeting to bring about an end to the fighting; and if he will consult with the leaders of this party on this matter;

(2) what were the reasons for the refusal of the Government to negotiate a termination of the fighting in Malaya when an offer was made by the insurgents three weeks ago; and what are the terms on which it is now prepared to bring about an end to the conflict and the emergency regulations.

The leaders of the Alliance were consulted when the Communist terrorists' offer to negotiate was received; they agreed that it should be rejected for the reasons indicated in my reply on 29th June to the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) to which I have nothing further to add.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if the unrest in Singapore has now subsided; and how many of those arrested on 12th June last are still held.

Yes. Two of the seven persons arrested on 12th June are still detained under the Emergency Regulations and one is serving a sentence for being in possession of terrorist documents.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the present proposals in respect of future educational development in the Federation of Malaya and in Singapore, both in respect of post-primary education and the co-ordination of different racial and other types of existing schools and their financial assistance from Governments; and how many schools have been closed because of political activities.

A special committee considered last year the pace at which, having regard to the resources of the Federation of Malaya, it would be possible to apply the policy outlined in the Education Ordinance, 1952. The Committee's report is comprehensive, covering post-primary education and the establishment of a national school system, and I am placing a copy of it, together with a statement by the Federation Government, in the Library of the House.

In Singapore post-primary education is provided in 49 schools either run or fully aided by the Singapore Government. Approval has been given for the construction of eight further schools, including two secondary technical schools, within the next year. Post-primary education is also provided by several schools, including ten Chinese language schools, which are not fully aided by the Government. An all-party Committee of the Legislative Assembly is at present considering the position in schools in which Chinese is the medium of instruction.

No schools have been closed because of political activities either in Singapore or in the Federation.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the provisions of the Public Order Bill drafted by the Government for introduction in the Legislative Council of Northern Rhodesia; and what are the grounds for its introduction.

The Bill, which is to a large extent modelled on the United Kingdom Public Order Act, 1936, prohibits political uniforms and flags and quasi-military organisations. It makes it an offence to carry lethal weapons at public meetings or processions; to use language intended or likely to cause a breach of the peace; to excite enmity between different sections of the community; and to incite strikes in essential services. In certain circumstances public meetings and processions may be forbidden. The object is to give the Government additional powers for the maintenance of public order.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds the employment of children in the tobacco industry in Northern Rhodesia is permitted under Section 8 (1) of the Employment of Women and Young Persons and Children Ordinance.

The employment of young persons between the ages of 12 and 16 only, is permitted on light work in tobacco grading establishments and sales floors because certain tasks at certain periods provide a useful and congenial occupation and training, usually under parental supervision, for young persons who would otherwise be idle.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what amendments to the trade union laws of Northern Rhodesia have been introduced; and for what reasons.

Amendments designed mainly to improve standards of trade union management are under consideration but have not yet been introduced.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the outcome of his discussions with the delegation from Sierra Leone.

The discussions are still continuing and I am not yet in a position to make a statement.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is now the estimated squatter population of Hong Kong; what is the estimated number of new arrivals in the period January to March; how many housing units have been provided during the past five years and how many are in course of construction; and what is the total cost involved in the task of providing proper accommodation for the squatters.

A rough estimate of the number of squatters now in Hong Kong is 120,000. Separate figures are not kept for persons returning to Hong Kong and those arriving for the first time but in all some 149,000 arrived in the period January to March. During the same period 153,000 persons left the Colony. 27,000 homes have been provided during the past five years and approval has been given for building another 12,500, nearly all of which should be finished by about May, 1956. Capital expenditure so far incurred or planned is about 50 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition there is heavy recurrent expenditure.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the new federal tariff on imported building material will increase the cost of housing for Africans in Nyasaland by 20 per cent.; and what steps are being taken to produce more materials locally or by other means to keep down the cost of this service.

It would not, of course, be proper for me to discuss the new federal tariffs. I understand however that they will not affect the cost of construction of African houses by the Government in Nyasaland, although they may possibly increase the cost of those built by contractors, by 2 or 3 per cent. It has always been the policy of the Nyasaland Government to encourage the use of local building materials such as timber, bricks and tiles. A cement factory may shortly be established in Nyasaland.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what constitutional reforms have been proposed and are now being implemented in British North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei, respectively.

In Sarawak legislation is now being prepared to give effect to proposals, approved in principle, for additional membership of the Supreme Council and the Council Negri which will have unofficial majorities and for the selection of unofficial members by District Advisory Councils and other representative bodies.

The Sultan of Brunei announced in 1953 his intention to grant a written constitution. Details are now being worked out locally on the basis of proposals which include the establishment of Executive and Legislative Councils, but meanwhile four District Advisory Councils with nominated membership have been established, and members of these Councils are selected to attend meetings of the State Council as observers.

No further changes are at present contemplated for North Borneo, where the amendments made to the constitution in 1950 meet existing needs.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how the St. Vincent Co-operative Arrowroot Association markets its produce in the United States of America.

By sales to the American firm of Morningstar, Nicol Incorporated.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the estimated number of children in the Seychelles Island between five and 16 years of age; how many are receiving primary, and how many, secondary education; and the number and value of grants made to students for the purpose of technical or university education in 1954.

The number of children between 5 and 16 in Seychelles at the end of 1954 was 9,684. Of these 5,414 are receiving primary and 326 secondary education. About 22 Seychellois students are studying in universities and other institutions of higher education in the United Kingdom. Details of the number and value of grants are not available here but I am asking the acting Governor for this information and will write to the hon. Member.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Europeans in Kenya have been convicted of offences against Africans in circumstances arising out of the emergency, since October, 1952.

I am asking the Governor for this information and will write to the hon. Member.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what tonnage of new shipping has been launched from British shipyards during the first six months of 1955; and how this compares with 1954.

In the first six months of this year, 147 ships of 663,702 gross tons were launched from British shipyards; in the corresponding period of 1954, 111 ships of 626,645 gross tons were launched.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many orders for new ships have been placed with British shipyards during the first six months of 1955; and how this compares with 1954.

In the first six months of 1954, 88 ships were licensed of about 177,000 gross tons. I am afraid that the figures for the first six months of 1955 are not yet available but, in the first three months of 1955 alone, 60 ships were licensed of about 214,000 gross tons.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what work he anticipates will be given to the Royal Naval Dockyard, Chatham, as a result of the agreement reached with the Government of the Union of South Africa concerning the Simonstown naval base.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will see that Her Majesty's dockyards in Britain get a fair share of any shipbuilding undertaken by Her Majesty's Government for the South African Navy.

The phasing of the programme is being worked out with the South African Government, and until this has been settled the allocation of the orders cannot be determined.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty (1) what is the uniform allowance of officers of the Sea Cadet Corps;

(2) if he will increase the uniform allowance of officers of the Sea Cadet Corps.

The present allowance is £32 in cash for the purchase of uniform made to measure. It is reviewed annually in accordance with current prices and was slightly increased from 1st January, 1955. Certain other clothing is issued free of charge from Service stocks.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what were the terms of the Admiralty Fleet Orders regulating the rights of officers and men to stand as candidates at the recent General Election; how far these orders forbade officers and men making speeches, sitting on platforms or publishing opinions in the Press; and if he will issue new orders before the next General Election which will enable all officers and men when on leave and in civilian clothes to enjoy the same rights as the rest of Her Majesty's subjects, provided no mention is made of the person's naval position when taking part in such activities.

No Admiralty Fleet Orders were issued, as conditions of candidature for Parliament are precribed in Queen's Regulations and Admiralty Instructions under the provsions of the Servants of the Crown (Parliamentary Candidature) Order, 1950. Queen's Regulations forbid any active participation by serving personnel in political affairs. I consider that any departure from the present practice would be against the interests of the Service.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, if he will give an assurance that all Admiralty personnel employed in Simonstown dockyard will be offered equivalent employment in England or else given adequate compensation for loss of employment.

United Kingdom-based employees in Simonstown dockyard will return to Admiralty employment elsewhere unless they choose to serve under the South African Government after control of the yard is transferred. As Command Paper No. 9520 shows, the great bulk of the locally-entered employees will be able to continue in their present work under explicit safeguards for their future. Any not required by the South African Government on taking over will receive at least the benefits to which they would be entitled at the time under the United Kingdom Superannuation Acts.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty in what circumstances adopted sons of seafaring men are ineligible for admission to the Navy's Royal Hospital School, Holbrook; and whether he will take steps to make them eligible in all cases.

I am advised that, under the law as it stands, adopted children are ineligible for the benefits of Greenwich Hospital. I am, however, considering the matter further.

asked the Postmaster-General how far there has been an improvement in the reception of the Welsh Regional Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation recently.

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Barry (Mr. Gower) on 6th July.

asked the Postmaster-General the reasons for the bad wireless reception in the Chorley area; and what steps are being taken to remedy the faults.

There is considerable interference on the North Regional Home Service (434 metres) after dark from a station in Spain. We have taken up the question with the Spanish authorities. The B.B.C. are going ahead with their plans for a V.H.F. station at Holme Moss, which it is hoped will be ready by the end of 1956. This new station will give a service free of interference from foreign stations, and will cover the Chorley area.

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the poor reception obtained by owners of sound broadcasting receivers in the Isle of Wight and South Coast owing to interference from Continental countries; and what steps he proposes to take to eradicate this interference.

I am sorry that, although reception of the Light Programme should be generally satisfactory, reception after dark of the Home Service is not satisfactory on 285 metres or 206 metres. This is due to interference from stations in Roumania and Spain, and the matter has been taken up with the Authorities concerned. A V.H.F. station at Rowridge, Isle of Wight, is included in the second stage of the B.B.C.'s V.H.F. plan, but the timetable for this has not yet been decided.

asked the Postmaster-General when the television station at Rowridge in the Isle of Wight will be completed.

The B.B.C. hopes to bring the permanent mast at Rowridge, Isle of Wight, into use by the end of this year.

asked the Postmaster-General how many applications for telephones in the areas of Radyr, Rhiwbina and Whitchurch, Glamorgan, respectively, were outstanding at the latest convenient date; and what were the comparable figures a year ago.

The following is the reply: 31st March, 1954 31st March, 1955 Radyr … 15 21 Rhiwbina … 281 225 Whitchurch … 399 166

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a statement about the times available for telephoning from this country to Israel; and what alterations have now been made.

The times of telephone service with Israel on weekdays were changed as from 4th July, 1955, from two periods daily (1130–1315 G.M.T. and 1630–1830 G.M.T.) to a continuous daily period operating from 1130–1530 G.M.T. In agreement with Israel, the service period on Sundays remains unchanged at 1130 to 1315 G.M.T.

asked the Postmaster-General how many applications are outstanding for telephones at Rumney and Llanrumney Estates, Cardiff, respectively.

Thirty applications are outstanding at Rumney estate and 50 at Llanrumney estate.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is prepared to relax his present policy of discouraging personnel from obtaining private accommodation in Germany, in the light of his recent review.

We are still looking into this question, which concerns other Departments besides the Air Ministry. I will write to the hon. Member as soon as a decision is reached.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what additional arrangements are being made to provide housing accommodation for the families of meteorological officers when they are posted to foreign stations.

There are at present 214 married quarters for Air Ministry civilians serving overseas and the provision of another 44 has been approved. Further quarters will be provided in certain areas but the programme is affected by redeployment from the Canal Zone and from Iraq and total numbers have not yet been decided. Meteorological officers are eligible to occupy these quarters.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the difficulties that meteorological officers who have returned from service abroad have in finding housing accommodation in this country; and, where such officers have had to buy a house to meet their needs, if he will give such officers a reasonable time of service in this country before they are called to do their second period of service abroad.

We already do all we can to give meteorological officers who have served overseas, as long as possible in this country before posting them for a further tour abroad. I regret that it would not be practicable, in selecting men for overseas posting, to distinguish between those who own their own house and those in rented accommodation.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will give a list of the meteorological stations abroad where there are educational facilities for the children of his staff; and what choice of station men who are sent abroad have when they have children of school age.

I am sending the hon. Member a list giving the particulars asked for. As regards the second part of the Question we try to avoid sending men with children of school age to areas without educational facilities.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the low-flying by jet aircraft over villages around Newark; and, in view of the damage caused recently by cattle stampeding, if he will take steps to prevent its recurrence.

A certain amount of low-flying is authorised in this area and this must continue if training is not to be impeded. I have not received any complaints of damage, but if the hon. Member will let me have further details I will arrange for an investigation.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will give a general direction to the British Transport Commission not to dismantle equipment and bridges used in connection with the canal system until a decision has been reached on canal policy.

No. The Commission must, like any other business, be allowed to use its own equipment as it thinks fit.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when the proposed improvements in the road between London and North-East Essex coast resorts, especially at Gallows Corner, will take place.

I hope to improve the roundabout at Gallows Corner early next year but as to the other schemes on this road, I cannot at present add to my statement of the 2nd February.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will announce the formal line of the remaining 800 miles of motorway planned by his Department; and if he will set in motion the legal processes required under the Special Roads Act, 1949, by the end of this year in order that the eventual construction of new motorways may start immediately the expenditure on them is sanctioned by the Government.

No. So far as up to date plans are concerned, I have nothing to add to my previous statements on this subject. In any event, action such as is suggested would not expedite progress.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what special arrangements he is making where new roads or bridges are to be built for trunk roads and motorways for the tipping of filling-in materials to start and continue in the most economic manner well in advance of the main construction of the new road or bridge.

Special arrangements are made, when possible, for the tipping of material in advance, but normally this can only be done when the land has been acquired and the works are being put in hand.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how much will be paid for the land required in the 345 miles of motorways, costing £85 million; and how many acres are involved.

The price of the land to be acquired will, of course, vary greatly with its quality. Roughly 7,000 acres will be needed and the total cost is likely to be of the order of three-quarters of a million pounds.

askd the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated expenditure from the Exchequer during 1955–56 on the schemes so far authorised under the expanded roads programme; and the estimated ultimate total expenditure on them.

About £1 million is likely to be spent this year on the schemes authorised between 1st April and 30th June, 1955. The ultimate total Exchequer expenditure on these schemes is expected to be about £11¼ million.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated expenditure from the Exchequer under the expanded roads programme during each of the four financial years from 1955–56 to 1958–59 and the ultimate expenditure in respect of commitments authorised during each of these years; and what are the respective totals for this four-year period.

I have at present nothing to add on this subject to what I said in my statement of 2nd February, to which I would refer the hon. Member.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is now in a position to determine a starting date for the new Linlithgow bridge over the Avon.

The scheme is included in this year's programme, and I hope to make a start on it before the end of the year.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what experiments have been made by his Department in order to discover a method of permanently stunting, by the use of chemicals, the growth of grass on the verges of roads.

In consultation with the Road Research Laboratory and the Nature Conservancy, I am investigating the control of the growth of grass by stunting agents. It is too early yet for the results to be assessed. On the other hand, experiments in the control of roadside weeds by means of chemical agents have now reached the stage when I am in a position to issue a circular to highway authorities giving guidance on this subject, and this I hope to do very shortly.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation why his estimates for road work have been reduced to such an extent as to prevent the development of the five-year plan prepared by the planning committee of the city of Bristol; whether he will take immediate steps to increase the grants in order that necessary work can be carried out; and if he will instruct his officials, in conjunction with the city engineer, to examine the traffic needs of the city for the purpose of making plans for future development.

My estimates have not been reduced, but the funds available at present will not permit me to authorise all the work which highway authorities would like to undertake this year. I am considering Bristol's five-year programme of road works, and I do not think any further special examination is required at present.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is satisfied that the panel of experts set up to consider and report to him upon the feasibility of the Forth road tunnel are now at work with staff and facilities adequate for the speedy prosecution of the inquiry; and whether he will make a statement.

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes, Sir." As regards the second part, I have nothing to add to what I said in reply to my hon. and gallant Friend's supplementary question on 22nd June.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will now make a statement regarding Barton Bridge, indicating what progress has been made towards building this bridge, which is urgently required.

As I indicated in my statement on 2nd February, I am prepared to authorise this project during the period 1956–57 to 1958–59. The preparation of details, and of a scheme under Section 1 of the Special Roads Act, 1949, is a matter for the Lancashire County Council as highway authority, and I understand it has this work in hand.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when it is proposed to carry out the Lancaster bypass and the Skerton bridge improvement scheme.

I am unable at present to add to the statement I made on the 2nd February.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what plans have been submitted to him for the resumption of air services between London and the North of England.

None. There are, of course, a number of such services in operation.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what the estimated capital expenditure on civil airports under his control will be over the next five years; and how he proposes to finance it.

£13 million financed by appropriations for Civil Aviation purposes.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the annual cost incurred by his Department in maintaining civil aerodromes where a passenger service charge is levied; and what proportion of this cost is borne by the receipts from such a charge.

In 1953–54, the last financial year for which complete figures are available, the bulk of flights overseas took place from 15 of the aerodromes maintained by my Department. The running cost of these 15, including technical services, was £3,098,000, and the revenue was £2,006,000, to which passenger service charge contributed £239,000. In addition, occasional flights abroad took place from three other aerodromes maintained by my Department, the contribution from passenger service charge being £100 in all.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what arrangements he has made to enable civil aircraft on regular routes to use Royal Air Force aerodromes when the traffic is too small to justify the construction and maintenance of separate civil aerodromes.

Under joint-user arrangements agreed between the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation thirteen Royal Air Force aerodromes in the United Kingdom are available to civil operators of scheduled services.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what works are covered by the sum of £100,000 which has been allocated for the further development of Renfrew Airport.

The sum provided this year for works at Renfrew represents, in the main, work on roads connected with the new terminal area and outstanding payments on account of the new terminal building. A sum on account of purchase of land has also been included.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the estimated amount of cargo that was held up at the docks owing to the stevedores' strikes; and how much was shipped back overseas because it could not be unloaded.

I regret that this information is not available.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many applicants now await driving tests in the Morecambe area; and what was the corresponding figure last year.

Most applicants in the Morecambe area attend at the Lancaster Centre, where 210 are now awaiting driving tests. The waiting list a year ago numbered 100.

asked the Minister of Supply the cost to public funds of the liability in respect of the Swift.

Negotiations are still proceeding and I am not yet in a position to give an estimate.

asked the Minister of Supply if he is aware of the distress and shock caused, particularly to elderly people living in the proximity of Dunsfold Aerodrome, by the noise of jet fighter planes landing and taking off from that aerodrome; and what steps he proposes to take to minimise this trouble.

Various measures, which have been markedly successful, have been taken to reduce the noise of engine running on the ground at Dunsfold. The noise caused by aircraft taking off and landing cannot at present be reduced, but the results of research which has been in hand for some four years are promising. Meanwhile the Hawker Aircraft Company has taken all practicable steps to reduce the disturbance caused to the public.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he refused permission for the building of a fishmeal factory at Avoch on the grounds that it would be a nuisance to residents, in view of the fact that the nearest residents who object are three miles distant from the proposed site.

I have not refused permission for the building of a fishmeal factory at Avoch. The Government offered to meet the whole cost of building the factory and 75 per cent. of the cost of a pier, which would be necessary to enable fishing boats to land at Avoch. The Herring Industry Board, however, feels unable to proceed with the factory owing to objections from Fortrose Town Council and in the circumstances it seems clear that the pier must be abandoned, too. I have informed the county council of Ross and Cromarty that if the objections by Fortrose Town Council were withdrawn, I should be prepared to reconsider the matter in consultation with the Board.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress is being made with the proposed ferry service between Toscaig Applecross and Kyle of Lochalsh.

I am glad to say that Messrs. David MacBrayne Ltd. has acquired a converted motor fishing vessel to provide a service between Toscaig and Kyle of Lochalsh. The vessel is at present fitting out at Greenock and may be ready in about four weeks' time. It has already been indicated to the county council that Government assistance will be available for the construction of a pier at Toscaig and that assistance will be available for the construction of a temporary structure so that services may start as soon as possible after the vessel is ready. If the county council accepts this offer a ferry service should begin before the autumn.

asked the Secretary of State for War what were the terms of the Army Council Instructions regulating the rights of officers and men to stand as candidates at the recent General Election; how far these orders forbade officers and men making speeches, sitting on platforms, or publishing opinions in the Press; and if he will issue new orders before the next General Election which will enable all officers and men, when on leave and in civilian clothes, to enjoy the same rights as the rest of Her Majesty's subjects, provided no mention is made of the person's military position when taking part in such activities.

Instructions regarding Parliamentary Elections which were repeated before the recent General Election forbid officers and men while still serving from standing as candidates for Parliament, from making speeches, sitting on platforms or publishing political opinions in the Press or by any other means. I see no reason for departing from these rules which are of long standing.

asked the Minister of Health if he can now give an approximate date for the publication of the Guillebaud Report.

I understand that the Report may be ready by the late autumn. It will be published as soon as possible thereafter.
