asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish details of the number and average amount of rate rebates granted in 1980–81 in England and Wales in total and by rating district.

I have today placed in the Library the information requested by my hon. Friend.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the representations he has received concerning his decision on the mining of coal in the Vale of Belvoir.

As at 17 May, my right hon. Friend has received 13 letters. Those from the National Union of Mineworkers and the North-West Leicestershire district council expressed concern at the effect of his decision on the mining industry and in particular on the employment prospects of mineworkers. Of the members of the public who wrote, seven supported the decision and four disagreed with it.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much of the additional sum made available for home improvement grants in 1982–83 in the Budget Wrekin district council bid for in the sections for intermediate or repair grants.

Wrekin council's original bid showed no bid for intermediate and repairs grants. However, the council subsequently informed the Department that this was an error and submitted a revised bid for £24,500 for intermediate and repairs grants. Following the supplementary allocation that I referred to in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Reading, North (Mr. Durant) on 6 May—[Vol. 23, c. 117.]—Wrekin has now received an allocation of £25,000.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what quantity of lead is emitted into the atmosphere from cremation (a) from human remains and (b) from low-grade oils sometimes used in the burning process.

No data are available but calculation indicates that the quantity of lead emitted through the cremation of human remains would be negligible. Virtually all crematoria are gas-fired.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to make it an offence for public bodies to levy charges for the use by the public of footpaths, cycle tracks and bridleways where rights of way are established.

Established public rights of way are in law open to the public as of right. Their use is not subject to a charge. Legislation to make it an offence for public bodies to levy charges is therefore unnecessary.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will submit the application for European regional development fund grant aid for the Goole bypass project, which was forwarded to his Department by Humberside county council in November 1980.

We have not yet received a firm estimate of costs for this project, but when we do we shall look at it again, with other applications, for possible inclusion in our submission this summer.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will collect information on the use of section 65 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 from local authorities and consider extending the scope of these powers.

My right hon. Friend does not consider that it would be worthwhile to collect this data at the present time. The effective use of the power depends on the penalties in section 104 of the Act for noncompliance with a notice issued under section 65. These penalties have only recently been strengthened by a provision in the Local Government and Planning (Amendment) Act 1981 giving local authorities more effective power to preserve amenity by combating unsightliness in their locality. There are no plans to extend the scope of these powers still further.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money was spent in 1981 under the heading of section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972.

Every local authority incurring expenditure under this section is required by subsection (7) to include a separate account of that expenditure in its accounts. The information is, however, not collected centrally.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money has been, and is, planned to be spent on the urban development corporations.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Minister for Local Government and Environmental Services to the hon. Member for Newham, South (Mr. Spearing) on 21 December last.—[Vol. 15, c. 319.]

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the total expenditure by county councils and by metropolitan councils on land reclamation in 1980–81; and what is the allocated expenditure for each for this purpose in 1982–83.

The total expenditure incurred by county councils and metropolitan councils on approved schemes of derelict land reclamation in 1980–81 was £6·3 million and £12·3 million respectively. The 1982–83 provision is being allocated currently, and I will write to the Hon. Member when this has been completed.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations he has held with local councils and councillors on the proposals contained in the review of Cmnd. 884; when the consultations were initiated; what form they took; and what steps he has taken to ensure that the public is aware of the effects of the possible implementation of the recommendations in the review, which deals with radioactive waste management.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to his similar question by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much of the budget of the Housing Corporation is allocated to shared ownership projects; and how much has been so spent in (a) the North-West, (b) Merseyside and (c) the Wirral.

The Housing Corporation"s approved development programme for England for 1982–83 includes £25 million for expenditure by housing associations on shared ownership schemes, and a further £3 million for leasehold schemes for the elderly. Information on spending on such schemes in the current financial year is not yet available.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the total number and value of bids for Housing Corporation funds in the current year for share ownership schemes (a) in total, (b) in the North-West, (c) in Merseyside and (d) in the Wirral.

Responsibility for inviting bids from housing associations and for making allocations rests with the Housing Corporation. I understand that for 1982–83 the corporation received the following bids for shared ownership schemes and leasehold schemes for the elderly:

	Shared ownership		Leasehold schemes for the elderly
	Units of accommodation	Total Cost*(£m)	Units of accommodation	Total Cost*(£m)
England	7,546	160·4	4,549	108·9
The North-West†	1,788	35·2	1,236	27·5
Merseyside‡	577	11·1	424	9·6
* This represents the total estimated cost of the proposed schemes spread over a number of years.
† This comprises the Housing Corporation"s North-West and Merseyside regions.
‡ This relates to the Housing Corporation"s Merseyside region only. Separate figures for the Wirral are not available.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the funds for his new initiative scheme in Merseyside cover opportunities for shared ownership; what is the number of applications for funds so far for shared ownership projects, the number of housing units covered and the number of applications and housing units so far approved; and if for these data he will distinguish between the Wirral and other parts of Merseyside.

The initiatives for Merseyside I announced last year included a proposed scheme to provide additional housing in inner city areas for sale, shared ownership and rent. My officials" discussions on the proposals with the Merseyside district councils, the house-builders and the Housing Corporation are not yet complete. The detailed information sought is not, therefore, available.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what contribution his Department plans to make to mark the United Nations World Environment Day on 5 June, with particular reference to the year's theme: "For Every Child a Tree".

My Department will be contributing to a number of special events on and around World Environment Day, which this year will also mark the tenth anniversary of the Stockholm conference on the human environment. In particular my right hon. Friend the Minister for Local Government and Environmental Services will be taking part in a tree-planting ceremony on Parliament Hill Fields organised by the Tree Council in pursuit of an initiative by the United Nations Environment Programme. In his address, he will be encouraging young people to take up the theme "For Every Child a Tree".

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether any measure is under consideration that would absolve district councils from their duty under the Public Health Act 1936 to impose charges for the collection of trade refuse; and if he will make a statement.

When section 12 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 is in force, it will give local authorities a duty to collect commerial waste on request, and to recover a reasonable charge except in cases where the council consider it inappropriate. We are now reviewing with the local authority associations the financial implications of implementing sections 12–14 of the Act.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Report instances over the last two years of transgressions under section 73(2) of the Public Health Act 1936 in respect of failure to impose charges for the collection of trade refuse.

Information on authorities that collect commercial waste, and on income derived from providing the service, is published annually in the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy's waste collection statistics. Whether a local authority is in breach of the duty imposed on it by section 73(2) of the Public Health Act 1936 is a matter for the courts. Information on cases brought before them is not available centrally.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the district auditor is to investigate the proposed sale by Wirral council of the Oak and Eldon Gardens site in Birkenhead; when he expects a report; and if he will make a statement.

I understand that the district auditor has investigated this proposed sale in the course of the audit of the authority's accounts for 1981–82, which is still in progress. It is for him to decide whether to report on the matter.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of part I design work was put out to consultants by the Property Services Agency; and how much was done in house in 1979–80, 1980–81 and 1981–82, respectively; and what proportion he proposes for the future.

The percentage of part I design work put out to consultants by the Property Services Agency in 1979–80 and 1980–81 was 35 per cent. and 37 per cent. respectively. The balance was undertaken in in-house. The provisional figure for 1981–82 is 38 per cent. The aim is to increase this percentage to a little over 60 per cent. by April 1984.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has investigated the relative cost of part I design work carried out by the Property Services Agency directly and that done by consultants; and if he will publish his findings.

A working group consisting of officials and private sector representatives is examining this issue. The group has not yet reported, and I have taken no view on the handling of its findings.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the present total of staff of the Property Services Agency, compared with his target announced in June 1980 for 1983.

The number of staff in the Property Services Agency on 1 April 1982 was 30,154 comprising 16,265 non-industrials and 13,889 industrials. No 1983 target for the agency was announced in June 1980.

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment under what statutory authority he uses grant-related expenditure assessments as alternatives to the spending targets for local authorities; and whether the Local Government Finance (No. 2) Bill at present before Parliament contains any provision to this effect.

The guidance or targets which successive Government have given to local authorities from time to time about their spending levels does not require statutory authority. I have not at any time proposed grant-related expenditure assessments as the targets for individual authorities.Clause 4 of the Local Government Finance Bill currently before Parliament will provide express powers for reducing the grant entitlements of local authorities that spend above their targets. An amendment to clause 4 has been tabled last week in another place to enable exemptions from such reductions to be given in relation to particular types of expenditure at the request of local authorities or the associations. This amendment will also enable exemption from grant reduction to be given to all authorities spending below their grant-related expenditure.In the light of representations from a large number of authorities the proposals for grant reduction in respect of 1981–82 and 1982–83 which I have already announced embody an exemption for authorities spending below grant-related expenditure.

asked the Minister for Trade if he will ask the Director General of Fair Trading to investigate the bid by Great Universal Stores PLC for Empire Stores PLC; and if he will make a statement.

The Director General of Fair Trading is currently investigating this proposed merger. He will be letting my right hon. and noble Friend have his advice in due course.

asked the Minister for Trade if he will estimate the level of imports expected in 1983 under the new multi-fibre arrangement in all categories covered by the agreement.

It is impossible reliably to forecast future levels of imports under the multi-fibre arrangement. These will depend not only on the precise quotas still to be negotiated between the Community and the supplying countries, but on the extent to which these quotas are utilised. This in turn will be affected by the level of domestic demand for each product, the competitiveness of United Kingdom manufacturers, the level of imports from other third countries, and the general world economic situation.

asked the Minister for Trade whether he has any evidence to show that restrictions imposed by the multi-fibre arrangement increase the cost of clothes available in British shops; and if he will make a statement.

I will reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.

asked the Minister for Trade what is his latest estimate of the effect of the economic sanctions placed upon Argentina by the United Kingdom's partners in the European Economic Community, by the Commonwealth and by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries; and if he will make a statement.

I will reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.

asked the Minister for Trade whether it has been decided to refer to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission the bid for Allied Supplies Limited; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. and noble Friend the Secretary of State for Trade will announce his decision in due course.

asked the Minister for Trade when the decision of the Civil Aviation Authority on the application by British Midland Airways for permission to compete with British Airways on the Heathrow to Glasgow and Heathrow to Edinburgh trunk routes was made known to British Midland Airways.

The decision of the Civil Aviation Authority on the applications by British Midland Airways for permission to operate services on the Heathrow to Glasgow and Heathrow to Edinburgh routes was made on 21 October 1981. Both the British Airways Board and British Caledonian Airways objected to the applications.

asked the Minister for Trade whether any guidelines have been issued by Her Majesty's Government since May 1979 to the Civil Aviation Authority to the consideration of applications made by private airlines to compete with British Airways on major trunk routes (a) internationally and (b) within the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

No guidelines have been issued by the present Government and in the Civil Aviation Act 1980 we deliberately removed the power to give guidance to the Civil Aviation Authority.Instead, section 13(1) of the 1980 Act gave the Civil Aviation Authority the duty of publishing from time to time a statement of the policies it intends to adopt in performing its air transport licensing functions. The authority's 'Statement of Policies on Air Transport Licensing', published on 28 April 1981, sets out the policies which the authority currently follow.

asked the Minister for Trade whether he has any plans to carry out a monitoring exercise to ascertain the costs of import controls both to industrial efficiency and the consumer; if he will estimate the cost of such an exercise; and if he will make a statement.

I will reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why his Department has agreed to allow higher national diploma courses in engineering to be discontinued.

Since the establishment of the fully representative Technician Education Council in 1973 it has been the policy of successive Governments that the council should eventually take over responsibility for validation of technician education courses. The replacement of HND courses in engineering by higher diplomas validated by the council is a part of this process. It has been considered very carefully over a long period, and I am satisfied that it will be to the benefit of engineering education.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any evidence that the Government of Argentina are taking any action to remove from the United Kingdom the 400 Argentine students on the penalty of stopping financial aid to them; and whether he will consider making some temporary arrangements to finance these students if they refuse to be sent home forcibly.

My right hon. Friend has received no evidence that the Government of Argentina are seeking to remove Argentine students from the United Kingdom by stopping their financial payments and cannot say at this stage whether it will be necessary to consider any temporary arrangements to assist them.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any figures available to him which would show the number of children who have gained places at universities and whose father was a manual worker or was from a similar social and economic background; and, if so, if he will publish such figures from 1967 on an annual basis:

Figures published by the Universities Central Council on Admissions shows that around 19 per cent. of home students accepted through the council for entry into a United Kingdom university in 1980 were from families where the parents were in skilled manual, partly skilled or unskilled occupations. The council has also published figures for some earlier years, but these are based upon a different occupational classification and are not comparable with 1980. The published figures show that candidates with a given A-level results from all social classes have a similar chance of acceptance at university.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many more teachers would have to be employed and trained to reduce all class sizes to below 30; and at what additional recurrent cost.

In January 1981 average class sizes in England were 25·5 pupils for primary schools and 21·5 for secondary schools; at the same time 30 per cent. of primary classes and 14 per cent. of secondary classes contained 30 or more pupils. There can be no certain estimate of the number of extra teachers needed to eliminate these classes of 30 and over because it would depend on the extent to which local education authorities and headteachers gave priority to a reduction in class sizes over other calls on the time of teachers.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will ascertain the percentage of students attending voluntary Church of England and Roman Catholic colleges of education who were following courses leading to a teaching qualification in religious education at convenient intervals in the last 20 years; and if he will make a statement.

The figures below indicate the percentage of teacher training students in various types of institution in England and Wales who were enrolled on courses in religious education as at November 1980.

	per cent.
(a) Voluntary colleges
Church of England	9
Roman Catholic	13
Other*	9
(b) Other colleges	3
* Including those of mixed religious denomination.

Compilation of comparable figures for earlier years would involve disproportionate cost and prior to 1967 the information was not collected.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to ensure that full-time serving teachers rather than union nominees are appointed to the controlling bodies of the Schools Advisory Examinations Council and the Schools' Curriculum Advisory Body.

The Government's proposals to establish an examinations council and a school curriculum development council are the subject of discussion with the local authority associations, and other interested bodies. It will be important that the new councils should be able to draw on the experience of practising teachers among their members, and this will be borne in mind during discussions.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of school leavers were (a) illiterate and (b) innumerate, in 1950, 1960, 1970 and 1980.

I regret that this information is not available.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the cost to public funds, excluding variable costs such as travel allowances, of maintaining a 16 or 17-year-old person in non-residential sixth form education assuming that he or she is living in a family of four with a household income of £6,000.

As a broad indication, a recoupment rate of £1,606 has been recommended by the inter-authority payments committee for pupils aged over 16 in England in the present financial year. In addition, the parents of such a pupil would be eligible for child benefit at a current rate of £5·25 per week.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has about the numbers of local education authorities who pay discretionary grants to British chiropractic students.

None. The Department does not collect this information.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish the results of his survey of local education authorities' answers to circular 2/81.

Although returns were requested by 31 December 1981 we have not yet received sufficient to enable a full analysis to be made of the number of surplus places to be taken out of use. I will certainly consider in the light of further returns how our conclusions on the exercise should be made public.

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he plans to meet representatives of the Liverpool education authority to discuss the report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Schools concerning education in the Toxteth area; if he has any plans to use the powers available to him to ensure the proper administration of education in Toxteth; and if he will make a further statement.

Together with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment, I shall me et representatives of the authority on 26 May to consider with them how the education service in Toxteth, and in Liverpool generally, may be improved and how resources can be used to best effect.

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many civil servants in each of the grades from principal upwards have been declared redundant in each of the past three years.

The information is being collated and my right hon. and noble Friend the Lord Privy Seal will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider introducing capital taxation measures as a disincentive to the merging and amalgamation of farms and to bring about the break-up of abnormally large holdings on death.

I am not sure what my hon. Friend has in mind, beyond the present provisions of the capital transfer tax. Perhaps he would write to me.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the approximate number of copies of the White Paper on public expenditure which are issued for use each year, and the total number printed.

The Government's Expenditure Plans for 1982–83 to 1984–85 (Cmnd. 8494) were printed in two volumes, both with a print run of 8,000. HMSO have sold 5,850 copies of volume 1 and 6,650 copies of volume 2, including some 1,200 copies of each volume for use by HM Treasury and Parliament.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will show under which monetary aggregate the Bank of England's purchases of commercial bills is included; and if he will describe the effect that such purchases have on monetary policy.

The information on Bank of England purchases of commercial bills is to be found in Financial Statistics, table 7·3. Sterling lending to the United Kingdom private sector is the sum of lending in sterling to the private sector by the monetary sector (ie. recognised banks and licensed deposit takers) plus Issue Department holdings of commercial bills. Thus purchases of commercial bills appear not as part of a monetary aggregate but as one of the domestic counterparts to changes in the money stock.The implications for monetary policy of such purchases were described in the note on bank lending, "Overfunding and Money Market Assistance," submitted by the bank to the Treasury and Civil Service Committee, and reprinted as appendix 8 of the latter's fourth report.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce proposals to tax at a punitive rate all income derived in any way from either Argentina or as a direct result of the Falklands dispute, whether the income is derived from sources in the United Kingdom such as the broadcasting authorities for commentary on the dispute, or from institutions in Argentina.

No.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is still the Government's intention to tax invalidity benefit; and if he will make a statement on the proposed timing of the necessary legislation if it is still intended to tax the benefit.

I shall let the right hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) whether he will abolish stamp duty levied on adoption agreements in connection with (a) section 38 of Highways Act 1980 and (b) with sewer adoption agreements in connection with section 18 of the Public Health Act 1936:(2) whether he will estimate the total annual income in 1980–81 from stamp duty levied on adotion agreements in

connection with

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will tabulate in money terms and indexed terms the relationship between the pay of an hon. Member and an assistant secretary in the Civil Service for each of the last 20 years ending with the present recommendations.

The table following shows the salaries of Members of Parliament and assistant secretaries in the Civil Service, and Members of Parliament pay expressed as a percentage of that of assistant secretaries on a annual basis since 1963.

	Members' salary	Assistant secretary (maximum)	1 as a percentage of 2

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of home beat police officers.

The precise role of home beat police officers varies from force to force but policing methods are kept under constant review by chief officers of police and Her Majesty's inspectors of Constabulary to improve the effective use of resources. My Department is sponsoring research on a range of relevant subjects, such as the use of manpower, community policing and the role of community constables.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will require the Independent Broadcasting Authority, in accordance with section 29(3) of the Broadcasting Act 1981 (c. 68), to refrain from broadcasting any advertisements by any corporation, if that corporation, or one of its subsidiaries or any corporate or individual person allowed by it, or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, to use its name for payment received, contributed financially to the 24-hour telethon supporting Argentina over the Falkland Islands which was broadcast in Argentina on 9 May.

No. We could not regard this as an appropriate use of this reserve power.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about the decision of the governor of Ascombe Grange open prison to allow 15 women prisoners, some of whom are convicted murderers, to leave the prison for a day without surveillance for the Pope's visit.

None.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he has made any estimate of the number of serious burn cases, such as might require attention in a special burns unit, which might be caused by the air explosion of a hydrogen bomb of one megaton with its epicentre over Charing Cross; and what this estimate is.

No.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the total amount of money paid by his Department to International Social Service in each of the last five years; for what purposes these funds were allocated; and if he will make a statement.

In the last five financial years the following sums were paid to International Social Service of Great Britain in connection with its administration of the repatriation scheme under section 29 of the Immigration Act 1971:

	£
1977–78	79,182
1978–79	99,393
1979–80	100,352
1980–81	121,474
1981–82	188,943

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations have been received from individuals regarding animal experiments; and if he will make a statement.

During the past year, about 1,500 letters have been received in the Home Office. The Government's views on the improvement and modernisation of the present legislation were set out in my right hon. Friend's observations on a petition, circulated as a supplement to the Votes and Poceedings on 29 April.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what publicity was and is being given to the new regulations as from 1 April for the payment of fees for registration and naturalisation;(2) why the increased fees for applications for registration and naturalisation are paid at the time of application rather then when a decision is reached; and if he will reconsider this practice.

The changes were announced in an answer given to a question from my hon. and learned Friend the Member for South Fylde (Mr. Gardner) on 10 March and a news release was issued by the Home Office on the same day. This contained a table showing the main types of application and the new fees. Both the announcment and the news release explained that the collection of the fee at the time of application enabled the increases to be kept to a lower level than would otherwise be necessary. Community Relations Councils were informed of the changes on 11 March. Leaflets setting out the new fees are made available to all new applicants.—[Vol. 19, c. 423]

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for Wales the directly equivalent information on the Government's expenditure plans to that which is published for England in tables 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12 of Cmnd. 8494–II.

The following tables show, for Wales, the directly equivalent information on the Government's Expenditure Plans to that which is published for England in tables 2.3, 2.4, 2.8 and 2.11 of Cmnd. 8494–II. The figures in tables 2.9 and 2. 12 include expenditure in Wales as the relevant functions do not come within the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Wales.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for Wales the directly equivalent information on educational expenditure and numbers to that which is published for England in tables 2.10 and 2.10.1 of Cmnd. 8494–II; and if he will publish the information covered in Table 2.10.2 on a basis which covers Wales alone.

The equivalent information on educational expenditure and numbers in Wales is given in the three following tables.The information contained in these Tables is confined to those areas for which the Welsh Office has responsibility in Wales. Figures for mandatory student awards and universities in Wales for which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science is responsible are not therefore included.
