asked the Secretary of State for Wales what increase in rates he expects in Wales in 1965–66; what average percentage increase this will represent; and what steps he intends to take to reduce the burden of rates in the Principality.

The returns so far available point to an increase of about 1/1d. per £ of rateable value or 9½ per cent. In reply to the last part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the statement of Government Policy made by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government in the debate on 5th May.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what increase in expenditure on the provision of motorways in Wales will be authorised for each of the next five years.

Under the programme prepared by the previous administration, expenditure on Welsh motorways over the next five years will taper off from over £7 million in 1965–66 to under £½ million in 1969–70. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has asked the Welsh Planning Board to examine the whole problem of communications in Wales and he will also ask for the views of the Welsh Economic Council. He hopes to make an announcement later this year about the future Welsh road programme.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, what progress he has made in the preparations for the Association Football World Cup series; and if he will make a statement.

The preparations are the responsibility of the Football Association.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from technical colleges and colleges of advanced technology that recruitment of staff from men and women at present working in industry is hindered by low salary scales in such educational institutions.

I can trace no recent representations on these lines.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now make a statement on the circular he is sending to local authorities about the reorganisation of secondary education.

A draft of the circular has been sent to the local authority associations, the teachers' organisations, and bodies representing voluntary schools and direct grant schools, inviting their comments. I propose to issue the circular as soon as possible after I have received and considered any observations these bodies may wish to make.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware of the inadequate facilities available for the education of deaf children; and what steps he is taking to improve them.

There are sufficient places in day and boarding special schools for deaf children. The supply of teachers of the deaf will be improved by the opening of a new course of training at London University in the autumn. My right hon. Friend is reviewing the need for further training places.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, in view of the recent examples of hooliganism and the destruction of property, he will give general guidance to local education authorities on the need for the greater enforcement of discipline in schools.

No. I believe that teachers and local education authorities are the best judges of the degree of discipline required in school.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware of the need for improved educational opportunities for apprentices; whether he is satisfied that arrangements for co-ordination of such opportunities, particularly with universities, are adequate; and if he will initiate an inquiry into the educational facilities provided for apprentices.

I hope to see a big improvement in the next few years, especially as a result of the work of the Industrial Training Boards, in the opportunities offered by employers to apprentices and other trainees to attend further education courses, especially by day or block release or through sandwich arrangements.In making their recommendations on education and training for employees at the higher levels of industry, the boards will no doubt take into account the courses provided by universities and other institutions of higher education. My right hon. Friend sees no need for an inquiry.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which education authorities in England and Wales have been most successful, during the past five years, in attracting married women back to teaching; and to what he attributes their success.

Since the local availability of married women teachers varies widely, fair comparisons between the success of authorities in recruiting them are difficult to make. With this reservation, the following 16 authorities may be regarded as particularly successful, since their rate of recruitment of married woman teachers during the last four years, as measured by the number recruited expressed as a proportion of each authority's total teacher strength, is at least 50 per cent. above the national average:Bath; Birkenhead; Bournemouth; Doncaster; Isle of Wight; Lincoln; Middlesbrough; Newport (Monmouth-shire); Oldham; Rochdale; St. Helens; South Shields; Surrey; Tyne-mouth; Wakefield; York.The main factors contributing to the successful recruitment of married women teachers appear to be vigorous efforts to attract them back by personal contact and publicity; sympathetic and understanding handling of applicants by local authorities' staff, and flexible and accommodating attitudes on the part of head teachers and their staff in the schools, particularly in providing opportunities for part-time teaching.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to receive the report of the Central Advisory Council under the chairmanship of Lady Plowden.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my predecessor gave to the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Charles Morrison) on 21st January, 1965.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what decision has been reached on the provision of a technological university in the county of Durham.

I have nothing at present to add to my statements of 24th February and 25th March about the possibility of a new technological institution in the North-East.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will introduce legislation to empower whipping of young people who commit sabotage on railway lines and the imposition of appropriate fines on parents.

As regards whipping. I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave on 4th May to a Question by the hon. Member for Louth (Sir C. Osborne). The law already provides in Section 55 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933, that when a court imposes a fine on an offender under the age of 17, it may, and shall if the offender is under 14 years of age, order the parent or guardian of the offender to pay, unless the court is satisfied that the parent or guardian cannot be found or has not conduced to the commission of the offence by neglecting to exercise due care of the offender.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons convicted of capital murder are now serving sentences of life imprisonment.

20; and there are a further 2 life sentence prisoners who were sentenced to death under Section 6 of the Homicide Act, 1957, after being convicted of two or more murders and were subsequently reprieved.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give figures showing over the last five years how many private car owner-drivers have had three or more endorsements on their driving licences for drunkenness and dangerous driving, respectively; and if he will give the same information in respect of drivers of commercial vehicles.

I regret that this information is not available.During 1964, 3,631 persons were disqualified under Section 5(3), and 531 under Section 5(4), of the Road Traffic Act, 1962. It is not possible to say how many of these persons owned private motor vehicles, or in how many cases offences of dangerous driving, or of driving or attempting to drive, or being in charge of a vehicle, while under the influence of drink or drugs, were committed.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek appropriate action through the courts to have electors erroneously omitted or wrongly listed in the current electoral lists for the city of Cardiff included in a supplementary register and made eligible to vote in the forthcoming local and subsequent elections.

No. There is no action that my right hon. and learned Friend can take on the lines suggested.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will hold an inquiry into the circumstances leading to errors and omissions in the current electoral lists for the city of Cardiff.

No.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) in view of the all-party demand for a three-year ban on all immigration in order to give local authorities time to deal with the problems of housing, health and education, if he will introduce legislation to meat this need, and so ease the pressure on the working-class families in the poorer industrial areas; and if he will make a statement;(2) what is the total number of Commonwealth immigrants Her Majesty's Government plan to accept into the country; what representations he has made on the subject to the Commonwealth Governments concerned; what estimate he has made on the date by which this total will be reached, allowing for the birth rates of the peoples concerned; and if he will make a statement.

As the House knows, a mission under the leadership of Lord Mountbatten is at present discussing with a number of Commonwealth Governments means of regulating the flow of Commonwealth immigrants to this country. Before reaching conclusions we shall, of course, await the mission's report. I have, therefore, no further statement to make on the subject at present.

asked the President of the Board of Trade what possibilities exist of securing factory sites in the Blyth constituency or the North-East of England for firms who made unsuccessful applications for the Pressed Steel Works in South Wales.

A number of good factory sites are available in the north-east of England generally, and some of these are in Blyth. Information about such sites is given to all suitable inquirers.

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consultations he has had with the Federation of British Industries on his policy of forming groups of firms for the promotion of exports; and what has been the response from the Federation.

My right hon. Friend's consultations on these matters have been with the British National Export Council, of which the Federation of British Industries is a sponsor. In his statement of 1st February he mentioned ways in which the Council, with the full support of their sponsors and of the Board of Trade, were endeavouring to promote co-operative action in industry for the expansion of exports, such as the "pick-a-back" scheme, the formation of regional or industrial export groups and the possible establishment of a co-operative export marketing organisation. The Board of Trade have also held meetings with representatives of some 40 industrial associations which I hope will lead to greater co-operative effort in promoting exports.

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the tonnages, on a comparable basis, and value indices, taking 1957 as equalling 100, of exports of steel tubes, other than large diameter and allow steel tubes if these are separable, by the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Italy, in 1951, 1954, 1957, and 1960–64.

The following is the best available information:

asked the President of the Board of Trade what study he has made of the desirability of the Government acquiring a controlling interest in private companies with a view to expanding exports, without regard to the maintenance of the customary profit levels; and what difficulties, other than legislatime, there would be in such a procedure.

In my study of export prospects I have all practical possibilities in mind. The potential for expansion of exports would no doubt be one of the factors which the Government would keep before them in deciding whether to seek to acquire an interest in private companies; but such companies would have to earn an adequate return on capital employed.

asked the President of the Board of Trade why it is not possible to make an estimate of the extent to which Rhodesian exports to Great Britain would be reduced by the removal of Commonwealth preference.

There is no reliable basis for estimating either the changes in the prices of different commodities which are likely to result from changes in duty or the changes in the volume of trade consequent upon such price changes. These changes depend on such factors as the elasticities of supply and demand, the opportunities for substitution and the inconvenience and expense of changing to new suppliers of each commodity. Each of these factors may be expected to vary in importance from time to time and from commodity to commodity.

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps to ban the dumping of blackcurrants from Poland.

Imports of blackcurrants from Poland are restricted by quota. If, however, the British growers have evidence that these imports are dumped and are causing or threatening them with material injury, they can apply for action under the Customs Duties (Dumping and Subsidies) Act, 1957.

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many chicks have been imported from Denmark since 1st January.

2,255,815 live poultry of all kinds valued at £104,834, were imported from Denmark in the first quarter of this year; their low average value indicates that the majority were chicks.

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to provide that firms erecting industrial buildings in areas subject to subsidence due to coal extraction can receive a financial grant to offset the cost of such buildings being built upon reinforced concrete rafts.

The cost of reinforcing the foundations of industrial buildings being erected in development districts may be considered for the purpose of building grants under the Local Employment Acts. Any question of assisting generally firms building in areas subject to subsidence due to coal extraction would be for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Power.

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will indicate the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards such organisations as the British Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the 48 Group and the Sino-British Trade Council, all of which are concerned with promoting British trade with China.

The Sino-British Trade Council enjoys the full support of Her Majesty's Government in its efforts to promote trade with China. It is sponsored by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, the China Association, the Federation of British Industries and the London Chamber of Commerce.The British Council for the Promotion of International Trade, with which the "48 Group" is closely linked through its consultant, is not supported or sponsored in any way by Her Majesty's Government.

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the estimated percentage increase in premium which would be necessary if drivers of vehicles were required by law to be insured against injury to their own passengers as well as third parties.

I am unable to do so precisely. Motor insurance premium rates are a matter for the market, which is competitive. There is no common basis for rating, and it is difficult to generalise about the premium required to cover the additional risk of liability to passengers. Moreover, different classes and types of vehicle would attract different levels of additional premium. Most private car policies already provide passenger cover and the overall additional premium would, therefore, generally speaking, not be significant. But in other cases the additional premium might well be substantial, particularly in the case of pillion riding on motor cycles, which is a risk for which cover is not at present generally available. In the proceedings on the Bill introduced by my hon. Friend the Member for Loughborough (Mr. Cronin) in 1961, it was said that the cost might bear very heavily on those who owner motor cycles or scooters. It was then estimated that the increases for this type of vehicle might range from £3 15s. 0d. to £22 per annum according to the size of the cycle, age and experience of rider and district in which the cycle is used.

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware of the congestion being caused in London by the increased carrying by road of heavy loads that were formerly carried by river; and what steps he is taking to discourage this trend.

We have no evidence of a general transfer of traffic from the river on a scale to add substantially to road congestion in London but I am aware of the particular case my hon. Friend has in mind and we are looking into it.

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek to amend the law in order to allow a person to accompany a pedestrian-controlled electric pushchair without having to be in possession of a current driving licence.

I will consider this matter when a suitable opportunity arises.

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give a table of figures showing the number of fatal, personal injury and property damage only accidents, respectively, caused by vehicles running into the back of lorries or other goods vehicles during the hours of darkness and daylight, respectively, and stating whether such lorries or other goods vehicles were stationary or under way at the time of the collision.

The information is not available in the form requested. I will write to the hon. Member further on this subject.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many hutted hospitals are still in use in Scotland; and where they are located.

There are 14 hospitals in Scotland in which the patients are accommodated in single-storey buildings envisaged originally as having only a limited life, located as follows:

• Ayr.
• Brechin, Angus.
• Bridge of Earn, Perthshire.
• Broxburn, West Lothian.
• Carluke, Lanarkshire.
• Galashiels, Selkirkshire.
• Golspie, Sutherland.
• Inverness.
• Invergordon, Ross-shire.
• Killearn, Stirlingshire.
• Mauchline, Ayrshire.
• Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire.
• Stranraer, Wigtownshire.
• Torphins, Aberdeenshire.

About a dozen other hospitals have substantial proportions of their beds in similar buildings.The single-storey buildings are of various types, and many of them are considered to be of satisfactory structural quality and not to require early replacement.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many hospitals are scheduled for 100 per cent, replacement; and if he will supply a list.

Until I have completed my review of the hospital building programme I cannot give a comprehensive list of hospitals to be replaced.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to ensure that the isotope, which twice in the past few days has been out of proper control in the Highlands, is adequately safeguarded.

It is an offence under the Radioactive Substances Act, 1960, to keep or use mobile radioactive apparatus without being registered, or in contravention of a condition of registration. All registrations I have issued are already subject to conditions designed to ensure that the apparatus is used only by authorised persons under proper safeguards, that it is securely stored when not in use, and that any loss or damage is immediately reported so that appropriate measures can be taken. I am having the circumstances of this particular case reported to the criminal authorities and I am also considering whether any improvements in the general arrangements are practicable.

asked the Minister of Health what representations he has received for the reform of the system of appointment to membership of regional hospital boards, hospital management committees and house committees, so as to secure a more satisfactory representation of local interests and a more effective expression of local feeling; and if he will make a statement.

I have had representations from various sources. As regards regional hospital boards, I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Hale) on 16th November. The same considerations apply to the making of appointments by regional hospital boards to hospital management committees. House committees are non-statutory bodies on which local interests should be fully represented.

asked the Minister of Health how many hospitals are scheduled for 100 per cent. replacement; and if he will supply a list.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 29th March to the hon. Member for Worcester (Mr. Peter Walker) and my hon. Friend the Member for Willesden, West (Mr. Pavitt).

asked the Minister of Health how many mothers in the area of the Manchester Regional Hospital Board had their confinements at home and how many were confined in hospitals during 1964; and what statistics are kept of those whose applications for hospital beds are refused.

Final figures for 1964 are not yet available but for 1963 they are 23,977 and 56,356: none.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what instructions were given to Her Majesty's Government's representative on the United Nations Security Council regarding the United States intervention in the Dominican Republic.

Hon. Members will have read accounts in the Press of my noble Friend's statement in the Security Council on 4th May. Following his instructions, he urged the Council to support the action taken by the Organisation of American States to bring about a complete cease-fire and facilitate the creation of conditions in which a truly free Government based on the wishes of the Dominican people could be established.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what consultations have taken place in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Council regarding the United States intervention in the Dominican Republic.

Consultations in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Council are confidential and, details of them cannot be publicly released. I can, however, say that the United States raised the matter in the Council on 4th May.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in order to facilitate negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the Vietnam problem, he will seek to enter into diplomatic relations with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Northern Zone, on a basis of reciprocity and at a level equivalent to Her Majesty's Government's diplomatic relations with the Government of the Republic of Vietnam, Southern Zone.

No. The fact that we recognise only the Government of the Republic of Vietnam does not restrict our ability to have contact with the North Vietnamese authorities over the possibility of a peaceful settlement in Vietnam. The North Vietnamese took part in the Geneva Conferences of 1954 and 1962, at both of which Her Majesty's Government made clear that neither the invitation nor the holding of the Conference should be deemed to imply diplomatic recognition in any case where it had not been previously accorded. The obstacles to our exploring with the North Vietnamese the possibility of a peaceful settlement come from them alone. The recent refusal of the North Vietnamese to receive Mr. Gordon Walker was due to their unwillingness to explore the possibility of a peaceful settlement and not to the lack of adequate channels of communication.

asked the Prime Minister if the public speech of the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs at Blackpool on 27th April, on action to curb rising prices, represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

Yes.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the total tonnage of potatoes imported since 1st January.

27,100 tons of new potatoes were imported into the United Kingdom during January, February and March, 1965. Figures for April are not yet available. There have been no imports of main crop potatoes this year.

asked the Minister of Labour what are the latest figures for unemployed at the Aberdare and Mountain Ash employment exchanges.

On 12th April, 593 at Aberdare and 254 at Mountain Ash.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has beeen the total amount paid in subsidies or grants to the following industries in the period since the nationalisation of the coal industry, namely, agriculture, cotton, shipbuilding, aircraft, coal, gas, electricity and oil.

The totals of grants and subsidies to these industries since 1947 are as follows:

Agriculture—£3,384 million in deficiency payments and production grants and subsidies.

Cotton—£25 million mostly in compensation payments for scrapping and grants for re-equipment.

Shipbuilding—£3 million in grants to the British Ship Research Association and its predecessors.

Aircraft—£74 million in contributions towards the cost of civil projects in return for a share in the proceeds of sales.

• Coal—Nil.
• Gas—Nil.
• Electricity—Nil.
• Oil—Nil.

NOTES:

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what complaints he has received about the method of paying export rebates; and whether these rebates are paid to exporting firms or to the shipping agents.

Export rebate is payable to firms who have acted as principals in export transactions and as such are beneficially entitled to the payment for the goods accruing from the overseas purchaser. I have had representations both for and against this principle. A number of detailed suggestions have been made about the procedure for making claims, and where possible they have been met.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the last accounts of the Irish Soldiers and Sailors Land Trust were laid before Parliament; and if he will make a statement.

There is no statutory requirement to lay these accounts. I am sure that the Trustees would make a copy available to the hon. Member on application.

asked the Minister of Power if he will issue general directions, in the public interest, to the Gas and Electricity Councils, to use the cost-saving techniques of critical path analysis in major construction projects.

The Gas and Electricity Boards already employ modern cost-saving techniques, including critical path analysis where suitable, in planning construction and maintenance work. General directions would not be appropriate.
