asked the Minister of Labour what he is doing to ensure the re-employment of scientists made redundant at Aldermaston.

The Aldermaston Exchange manager is in regular contact with the organisations employing scientists in his area. In the event of any redundancy he will, of course, arrange for advance registrations for employment to be made by my Professional and Executive Register at Reading.

asked the Minister of Labour how many vacancies are at the moment notified to his Department for senior scientists and senior technologists; how many of them are in full research work; and how many in industry.

1,718 on 11th March, 1963.

asked the Minister of Labour what is the effect on employment in the Highland area of the rundown of hydro-electricity development.

I understand that the latest available figures show that 1,881 workers are employed on schemes now under way. Two schemes are to be completed this year. Two further schemes are planned and, if objections can quickly be overcome, these will offset the run-down in employment on this type of work.

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the figures of registered unemployed in the Highland area in March, 1962, and March, 1963, respectively.

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I gave at Question Time today to the hon. Member for Glasgow, Central (Mr. McInnes).

asked the Minister of Labour what steps his Department will take to mitigate redundancy following the take-over of A. Shardlow & Co. by Messrs. Guest, Keen and Nettlefolds and United Steels.

I am not aware of any forthcoming redundancies, but if any workers are discharged the facilities of my Department will be available to them.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement about relations with the European Coal and

On 15th October, 1962, 2,166 disabled persons were registered under the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act, 1944, in Gateshead and 2,338 in Slough. The number of persons registered as unemployed on 11th March, 1963, represented respectively 14·8 per cent. and 4·9 per cent. of these totals.

asked the Minister of Labour if he will state the male and female unemployment figures for the Kirkcaldy, Buckhaven and Methil, and Burntisland areas, respectively, at the latest convenient date; and what were the corresponding figures for the same dates in 1961 and 1962, respectively.

The following table gives the information available:Steel Community since the breakdown of the Brussels talks.

The negotiations for British accession to the European Coal and Steel Community were suspended as a result of the breakdown of the Brussels negotiations on 29th January. Relations with this Community have since been maintained in the normal way through the United Kingdom Delegation in Luxembourg and the Representative of the High Authority in London.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is aware that the minefields along the frontiers of Tunisia and Algeria are being cleared by Russian military units; and if, in view of the concern felt at the hardships being suffered by the Algerians, he will make British Army units available to help with this work.

I am aware that some Russian mine-clearing tanks are now being used in Algeria. The answer to the second part of the question is no, but our Ambassador in Algiers is discussing with the Algerian authorities what we may be able to do to help.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will ensure that no political obstacles are placed in the way of firms endeavouring to tender for Russian pipelines, in view of the need to increase steel orders in the North-East.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Written Answer given by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade on 28th March.

asked the Lord Privy Seal, in view of the present negotiations on the future of the Central African Federation, to what extent it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to treat this as a matter within the domestic jurisdiction of Her Majesty's Government and outside the authority of the United Nations.

I confirm that it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to treat this as a matter outside the authority of the United Nations by virtue of the domestic jurisdiction provision of the Charter.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the Government's proposals for converting the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation into a supra-national body, able to take decisions or to make collective recommendations to member States in the field of military and external political and economic policy.

No such proposals have been made.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if, following the recent searching of a Czech aircraft at Prestwick, on his instructions, he will make a statement on the extent to which Her Majesty's Government are participating in the blockade of Cuba; which forms of transport and what types of goods are affected; how the blockade is operated in practice; and by what authority he took this action.

Her Majesty's Government are not participating in a blockade of Cuba.

asked the Lord Privy Seal, in view of the development and production of rockets and jet aircraft in Egypt with the assistance of German technicians, what action Her Majesty's Government are taking under the Tripartite Declaration of 1950 regarding levels of armaments in the Middle East.

Her Majesty's Government attach as much importance as ever to the maintenance of peace and stability in the Middle East and to the avoidance of an arms race among the States of the area. Our policy continues to be to assess any requests for arms on their merits and to supply arms when they are required for legitimate self-defence.

asked the Lord Privy Seal what reply has been made to the official representations made to him by the Israeli Government regarding the activities of German scientists in the Southern Region of the United Arab Republic in rocket production.

asked the Lord Privy Seal what reply has been given to the urgent representations made to him by the Government of Israel concerning the activities of German scientists and aircraft manufacturers in rocket production and in the production of military aircraft in the United Arab Republic.

The Israel Government have given Her Majesty's Government the information in their possession about the employment of German scientists in the United Arab Republic. They have not asked Her Majesty's Government to take any action and no reply is required.

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, when the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations is brought into force, he will reopen the question of providing reciprocal arrangements in this country so far as concerns the provision of domestically-produced spirits free of Excise Duty to foreign diplomatic missions in Great Britain.

This question is already engaging the attention of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer and myself as one aspect of the preliminaries to ratification of the Vienna Convention by the United Kingdom.

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether the Working Group of Twenty-One, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations to consider the United Nations' finances in the light of the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, has yet issued its report; and what are its recommendations.

A copy of the report of the Working Group of Twenty-One is available in the Library of the House. Although the report reflects broad agreement on some general principles, the Working Group was unable to put forward any agreed recommendation.

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will put forward proposals at the United Nations which would make a beginning towards giving the United Nations some source of revenue independent of Government contributions.

No. Her Majesty's Government believe that all members of the United Nations have a collective responsibility to finance the activities of the Organisation and they would not favour any proposals which would tend to relieve members of the financial consequences of their decisions.

asked the Lord Privy Seal, in view of the confusion and danger caused to fishermen by the existence of different fishing limits around different coasts, if he will again initiate action at the United Nations Organisation with a view to establishing uniformity in this matter.

I am not aware of any confusion or danger to fishermen on this account that could usefully be dealt with at another United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. The hon. Gentleman's suggestion is, however, one that my right hon. Friend will continue to bear in mind.

asked the Lord Privy Seal how far Her Majesty's Government accept tile draft declaration on racial discrimination adopted by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights; and if he will place in the Library of the House of Commons a record of the proceedings of the Commission showing how the British delegate voted on the clauses of and the amendments proposed to the declaration.

The text of the draft declaration on racial discrimination adopted by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights on 2nd April is now under consideration. It is not possible at this stage to say how far it is acceptable to Her Majesty's Government.The record of the proceedings of the Commission is not yet available but a copy will be placed in the Library of the House in due course. I understand that this will not, however, indicate the way in which particular delegates voted.

asked the Lord Privy Seal what representations he has made to the Government of the Republic of South Africa about their action in abducting Mr. Otlako Leballo from Basutoland.

None. I have no information to suggest that Mr. Leballo has been abducted by the South African Government.

asked the Lord Privy Seal what further developments have taken place in relationships between Her Majesty's Government and the Yemen Government; and if Her Majesty's Government has now reconsidered its refusal to recognise the present Yemen Government.

I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. Gentleman the Member for Lincoln (Mr. Taverne), on 20th March.

asked the Lord Privy Seal what steps have been taken to investigate the abduction by pirates of two British women from a ship sailing in the Philippines area.

Rumours reached Her Majesty's Embassy in Manila about three weeks ago to the effect that two women were being held captive by pirates in the Sulu area of the Philippines.It has not yet been possible to establish the truth of these reports, but inquiries have been made to discover whether any British subjects are missing.

asked the Lord Privy Seal to what extent Her Majesty's Government regard the Tripartite Declaration on the integrity of Israel's frontiers as being in force; and which countries affected have announced that they do not want it to apply to them.

The Tripartite Declaration of 1950 was intended to express the policy of the three Governments at that time. It has not been retracted. Her Majesty's Government for their part remain concerned, as members of the United Nations, with the maintenance of peace and stability in the area. The Declaration applied only to the three Governments who made it.

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will re-examine the travel restriction limits imposed on trade representatives from Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Roumania, who are resident in London, but whose trade missions take them into the provinces.

No travel restrictions are imposed on representatives of Poland or Czechoslovakia resident in London.On 25th March Her Majesty's Government proposed to the Roumanian Government the mutual abolition of travel restrictions in both countries. The Roumanian reply is still awaited.Her Majesty's Government have also proposed a similar abolition of restrictions on a reciprocal basis on a number of occasions to the Soviet Government without success. This offer remains open.

asked the Lord Privy Seal on what date he received information from his representatives in Switzerland on the threat presented by the outbreak of typhoid in Zermatt to British tourists.

The outbreak of typhoid in Zermatt was reported by telegraph to the Foreign Office by Her Majesty's Embassy, Berne, on 18th March.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the total value of agricultural exports produced and exported from Great Britain in each of the years 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, and to the latest convenient comparable date; if he will list the principal items; and if he will make a statement.

I am sending my hon. Friend the information for which he asks arid am also making it available in the Library of the House. Over this four-year period exports of agricultural an horticultural produce increased from £42 million to £52 million.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what were the average weekly earnings of regular whole-time adult male agricultural workers in England and Wales for the 12 months ended September, 1962; and what were the average weekly hours they worked.

The average weekly earnings of regular whole-time adult male agricultural workers in England and Wales for the 12 months ended 30th September, 1962, were £11 4s. 5d. The corresponding number of weekly hours worked was 51.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the average weekly value of the payments in kind received by adult male farm workers for the year ended September, 1962; what was the percentage of their total earnings represented by their payments in kind; what was the percentage of those workers who received payments in kind, such as cottages, potatoes and board and lodging; and what was the percentage of farm workers not in receipt of any premium above the minimum wage.

In the year ended 30th September, 1962, the average value of payments in kind received by adult male farmworkers in England and Wales was 6s. 6d. a week. This represents 2½9 per cent. of their average weekly earnings. 48 per cent. of these workers received payment in the form of cottages, 24 per cent. in the form of milk, 4 per cent. in the form of board and lodgings, 6 per cent. as potatoes and 5 per cent. in various other ways. Some workers, of course, received more than one type of payment in kind. In this period 18 per cent. of the adult male workers did not receive a premium above the minimum wage rates.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) whether he is aware of the poor market over recent years for homegrown hardwood; and what steps he is taking to strengthen it;(2) what steps he has recently taken to encourage the use of home-grown timber whenever suitable material is available at a competitive price.

There is at present a good market for high quality home-grown hardwoods, and over the last three years there has been some general improvement in the price of standing hardwood timber. The lower quality hardwoods have always been more difficult to sell, but new outlets are being developed in, for example, the manufacture of pulp and paper.The Forestry Commission is continually investigating new markets for homegrown timber of all kinds; at present it is considering setting up an experimental hardwood mill. The Commission has also had negotiations with the National Coal Board to increase the use of homegrown timber in the mines, and local authorities have been invited to encourage the use of home-grown timber in building projects.The proposed pulp and paper mill at Fort William which has just been announced will be the tenth enterprise using home-grown timber that has been set up in recent years.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has any further information on the decision of the United States authorities to import liquid milk from abroad for their service units in the United Kingdom.

I understand that the American authorities have not yet completed their review of the tenders for supplying milk to their Service units in this country.In reply to my hon. Friend and Member for Newbury (Sir A. Hurd) on 28th February, I said that U.S. Service units stationed here used only pasteurised milk, so no risk of livestock disease arose. I would make it clear that this assumes satisfactory arrangements for the control of distribution and disposal, such as the U.S. authorities make—in conjunction with my veterinary advisers—for other animal products which they import. In the absence of such arrangements, more rigorous heat treatment of the milk than is required for normal pasteurisation would be necessary. The American authorities have been informed of this.

asked the Minister of Aviation what assistance his Department gives to the British aircraft industry; and if he will make a statement.

Assistance given by my Department includes:

(i) A substantial programme of aeronautical research the results of which are available to the industry.

(ii) The placing of orders with the industry for aircraft and guided weapons to meet Service requirements.

(iii) The harmonising, where practicable, of Service requirements with export possibilities.

In particular, we contribute towards the cost of promising new transport aircraft by:

asked the Minister of Aviation what progress has been made with plans for a rapid economic and reliable ground transport link between the centre of London and London, Heathrow, Airport.

An Interdepartmental Committee, including representatives of the airlines, railways and local planning authorities is examining the problem of road and rail access to Heathrow to see what improvements can be made. I can say now that road communications between central London and Heathrow will be much improved by the construction of the new section of the South Wales motorway which will provide a fast motorway route from the Chiswick flyover direct to the airport.This work is due to be completed by December, 1964.

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he will give an assurance that air fares to Malta from the United Kingdom direct will not be increased during the coming months, in view of the significance of these fares to the Malta tourist industry.

No.

asked the Minister of Aviation why he gave instructions that a Czech airliner which landed at Prestwick on 30th March en route fol. Cuba should be searched for arms; and what conditions he has laid down for the granting of refuelling facilities in British territories to civil aircraft coming from Soviet bloc countries and proceeding to Cuba.

It has been our rule for some months to search for arms any Soviet bloc aircraft landing in this country en route to Cuba. We are entitled to do this under Article 16 of the Chicago Convention. No special conditions have been laid down about the granting of refuelling facilities.

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance how many people in receipt of National Assistance during 1957 received supplementary payments in respect of rents; what was the total sum paid out by the National Assistance Board in respect of rents in that year; and what were the equivalent figures for 1962.

At the end of 1957 the number of recipients of weekly National Assistance allowances who ware householders for whom an allowance for rent and rates would be added to the appropriate scale rates was 1,323,000. As my predecessor informed the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun) on 2nd April, 1962, it is not possible to state a sum representing the part of expenditure on National Assistance which is attributable to rent and rates, but the average amount paid by the householders concerned was 16s. a week. The comparable figures at the end of 1962 were 1,587,000 and 23s. 7d.

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he proposes to extend to retired pensioners living with relatives in the Commonwealth or abroad increases as they are awarded to pensioners in the United Kingdom.

No.

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will introduce legislation to enable allowances paid by the National Assistance Board to mentally defective children in their own right when in the United Kingdom, to be payable to those children when they accompany their parents abroad, provided that the parents are still paying full United Kingdom Income Tax and National Insurance.

No. National Assistance is essentially a scheme for meeting the needs of people living in this country.

asked the Minister of Health when repairs will be effected and painting and decorations commenced in the office block at Middlewood Hospital, Sheffield.

After the new heating services have been installed.

I would refer the hon. Member to Command Paper 1604. A revision of the Plan to 1972–73 is to be published tomorrow.

asked the Minister of Health what decision was made by the appropriate regional hospital board concerning the proposed appointment of a consultant in the Gateshead Hospital Group for geriatric patients.

To advertise the post.

asked the Minister of Health if he will now state the terms of reference for the independent committee of inquiry into Hurstwood Park Hospital; and how many meetings of this committee have been held.

To inquire into the nursing administration at Hurstwood Park Hospital and other matters connected therewith; two.

asked the Minister of Health how many contracts for hospital supplies were placed by his Department or the Northern Regional Hospital Board in the northern region during the year 1963; what sums were involved; and whether this was a departure from past practice.

The Board does not normally place such contracts. My Department has placed 14. As most of these are running contracts, I cannot give the sums involved. There has been no change in practice.

asked the Minister of Health what system or method is employed in the selection of suitable persons to fill vacancies on regional hospital boards and hospital boards of management.

Selection is in accordance with the Third Schedule to the National Health Service Act, 1946.

asked the Minister of Health what is his estimate of the number of mothers in the Greater London area who applied for maternity beds in the last 12 months, and who were refused accommodation because of the shortage of them.

I have no means of estimating, but the number cannot be large, since about 83 per cent. of all the births were in hospital.

asked the Minister of Education which local education authorities make special provision for psychotic children; and what is the nature of the provision made.

The following is a list of authorities maintaining hospital special schools or providing teachers at hospital units:

	Denbighshire

NOTE: The Lincolnshire (Kesteven), Oxfordshire, Surrey and North Riding authorities propose to provide or add to educational facilities at hospital units in their areas in the near future.

asked the Minister of Education what guidance he has given to local education authorities regarding psychotic children.

Information and guidance were given in the Report of the Department's Chief Medical Officer on the Health of the School Child for 1960 and 1961. This Report emphasised that a psychotic child should not be excluded from the educational system without prolonged psychiatric and educational treatment unless impairment of mental function is shown to be too gross for response to therapy.

asked the Minister of Health what further action he proposes to take to reduce the amount of the National Health Service drug bill in the light of the report on the Civil Appropriation Accounts, which showed that 64 per cent. of prescriptions were given for proprietary drugs.

Action on present lines to eliminate unnecessary expenditure will be continued vigorously.

asked the Minister of Health on what date warnings were issued by port medical officers to British tourists travelling to Zermatt from British airports as to the dangers of contracting typhoid.

Port medical officers have no responsibility for warning individual outgoing travellers.

asked the Minister of Health what is the average cost throughout England and Wales of the home-help service available to mothers for home confinements.

I regret this figure is not available.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Hong Kong Government officials were convicted and dismissed on charges of corruption in 1959.

Four employees.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give the status and salaries of the 31 Hong Kong Government officials convicted by the courts and dismissed on charges of corruption since 1st September, 1960.

The grades and salary scales of the employees concerned were as follows:

Grade	Salary Range (Hong Kong dollars per month)	Number
1. Unskilled, semi-skilled staff	66–305	8
2. Junior Technical Staff	370–780	2
3. Junior Disciplined Staff (i.e. of Police, Prisons Preventive and Fire Services)	240–910	21

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on proceedings taken by the authorities in Basutoland against Otlako Leballo, the Acting President of the Pan-African Congress.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mr. Leballo, on a charge of incitement to public violence in Basutoland. The police have searched his office and home at Maseru. But so far have not discovered him.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to collect information about the number of letters from prisoners to Members of Parliament which were stopped during 1962 under Standing Order 5(c) or for any other reason, and make the information available to hon. Members.

To collect this information would necessitate a special scrutiny of the record of every prisoner in prison during 1962 and would entail much extra work for prison staffs which I do not think would be justified.

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works when the park and underground car park opposite the Victoria Tower is to be built.

Preparations are being made for work to start on the underground garage this August. The surface will he laid out as a public open space, on completion of the garage.

asked the Minister of Power, in view of the sanction by the high authority of the European Coal and Steel Community of the merger of Phoenix Rheinrohr AG and August Thyssen-Hütte AG and the general concentration of steel interests inside the Common Market framework, resulting in a growing threat to the competitive position of the United Kingdom steel industry in Europe, if he will state the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding the effect of these developments on the steel industry, and on steel mergers in the United Kingdom in the private sector of industry.

I have no reason to believe that the completed and impending concentrations referred to carry any threat to the United Kingdom steel industry, in which there is already a good deal of concentration.

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has studied the new evidence available on the sinking of the "Titanic", details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Liverpool, West Derby; and if he will now reopen the 1912 "Titanic" inquiry, or take such other steps as will lead to a review of the case of the late Captain Lord of the "Californian".

I will certainly consider the B.B.C. script sent to me by my hon. Friend and will let him know the results.

asked the Secretary of State for War what objections have been made to the proposed Okehampton range bye-laws; and whether he will meet them in the byelaws finally published.

I am still considering objections and will try to meet detailed points on the working of the byelaws but I cannot meet objections in principle to military training on Dartmoor. The Royal Marines and the Army need to train there for as long as can be foreseen.

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has yet reached a decision on the disposal of the land occupied by the Central Ordnance Depot, Didcot; and whether he will make a statement.

Not yet. The greater part of the depot will become vacant next year. Before I come to a decision on the method of disposal, other Government Departments must be consulted. A meeting will be held shortly at which the local authority will be represented.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish figures showing the estimated number of police houses required by each police authority in Scotland.
