asked the hon. Member for Wokingham, as representing the Church Commissioners, whether there have been any changes in policy towards South African investments by the Commissioners since his predecessor's reply to the hon. Member for Melton on 5 March 1979, Official Report, c. 400; and, if so, to what effect.

There have been no changes in the Church Commissioners' investment policy in relation to South Africa since my predecessor's reply to the hon. Member in March 1979, but the application of their policy continues to be reviewed regularly, in the light not least of the Commissioners' statutory responsibilities and taking carefully into account expressions of Church and other relevant opinion.

asked the hon. Member for Wokingham, as representing the Church Commissioners, whether the Commissioners will use their influence as institutional shareholders to induce British companies operating in South Africa to pay fair wage levels to black African workers and, so far as possible within South African laws, to adopt non-discriminatory work practices and to offer equal opportunities for promotion.

In so far as the Commissioners hold shares in companies which have interests in South Africa, they have for some years, on the basis of the policy which my predecessor outlined to the hon. Member in March 1979, encouraged those companies to adopt enlightened employment policies in respect of their black African employees in accordance with the EEC code of conduct.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many persons were on hospital waiting lists in Wales (a) in May 1979 and (b) at the latest available date.

Information on waiting lists is available centrally only for the last day of each quarter. On 30 June 1979 the number of persons awaiting in-patient admission was 39,277; the comparable figure at 31 December 1981 was 33,131. For out-patients the numbers were 62,223 on 30 June 1979 and 58,802 on 31 December 1981.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether at current levels of expenditure there will be an underspend on housing investment by Welsh local authorities in 1982–83.

An assessment is not yet possible because local authority capital expenditure returns for the first quarter of 1982–83 are not yet available.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will reconsider his decision not to make funds available to prevent flooding of the River Rhymney, in the vicinity of houses close to Llanrumney high school, taking into account the opinion of the Welsh Water Authority that such a scheme is necessary and that there are strong grounds for seeking reconsideration of the Welsh Office's decision not to give grant-aid.

The Welsh Water Authority has not asked my right hon. Friend to reconsider his decision, but should it have new information available we will consider it.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will approach the European Commission for financial assistance in connection with the River Rhymney flood protection scheme, as was done in the case of the River Taff flood protection scheme.

If the Welsh Water Authority makes an application to my right hon. Friend we will certainly consider it.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many elderly people were mugged or had their homes burgled in England and Wales in the past 12 months.

Information on the characteristics of victims of serious offences recorded by the police in England and Wales is not collected centrally. The information readily available relates to offences of robbery—which include offences referred to as "mugging"—recorded in the Metropolitan Police district. In 1981, of the 10,971 victims of such recorded offences, 9,793 were aged up to 60, 1,154 were aged 61 or over and the ages of 24 were unknown.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which local Acts contain a criminal offence of failure to give notice of a procession to the police; and, in respect of these Acts, how long is the notice period required.

This information for England and Wales is collated centrally only in respect of local Acts passed since 1974. It is as follows:

Enactment	Period of notice Hours
County of South Glamorgan Act 1976	36
County of Merseyside Act 1980	72
West Midlands County Council Act 1980	*72
Cheshire County Council Act 1980	*72
Isle of Wight Act 1980	*72
Greater Manchester Act 1981	*72
East Sussex Act 1981	*72
Note:
* or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were imprisoned for maintenance default in 1981.

Information on the number of receptions of persons committed to prison department establishments in England and Wales by magistrates' courts for non-payment of wife's maintenance—including wife and child maintenance—children's maintenance and arrears under an affiliation order is published annually in "Prison Statistics, England and Wales", table 6.1 of the issue for 1980 (Cmnd. 8372). Figures for 1981 will be published as soon as possible.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to increase the level of assets required for entry to the United Kingdom as a person of independent means.

This would require a change in the immigration rules. We are at present considering what changes in the rules should be made when the British Nationality Act 1981 is brought into force on 1 January next year.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider as an alternative to licensing the possibility of introducing legislation to allow advertising on BBC television as a more effective way of paying for the service.

No. We consider that the licence fee system is the best available method of financing the services which the BBC provides and of securing the independence of the corporation.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the prosecutions undertaken in 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982 to the most recent practicable date against persons who inflict cruelty upon animals in transit either by road or rail; and if he will make a statement.

Figures for such offences are not available separately. The records available to us, which may be incomplete, show that for all offences under the Protection of Animals Act 1911, including those under section 1(1) (b) relating to animals in transit, 669 persons were proceeded against in England and Wales in 1979 and 809 in 1980. Information for 1981 and 1982 is not yet available. The welfare of animals during inland transit under the provisions of the Animal Health Act 1981 is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish a table in the Official Report showing the fee for (a) a new firearms certificate, (b) renewal of a firearms certificate, and (c) variation of a firearms certificate, and indicate the categories of firearms for which a firearms certificate is needed.

The current fees, which came into effect on 1 July 1980 under the Firearms (Variation of Fees) Order 1980, are as follows:

	Level of fee
(a) Grant of a firearm certificate	£25
(b) Renewal of a firearm certificate	£20
(c) Any variation of a firearm certificate (otherwise than when it is renewed or replaced at the same time) so as to increase the number of firearms to which the certificate relates	£20

A valid firearm certificate is required for the possession, purchase and acquisition of any firearm within the meaning of section 57 of the Firearms Act 1968, other than a shotgun with a barrel not less than 24 inches in length, or an air weapon not of a type designated as specially dangerous. Exemptions from these requirements are contained in sections 7 to 15, 54 and 58(1) of the Act.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received about his letter of 15 March 1982 to police authorities on the subject of special provision for the recruitment of candidates for the police service from ethnic communities.

One, from the Police Superintendents' Association of England and Wales.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about progress so far made by the police advisory board working party in ethnic recruiting to the police service.

The Police recruitment study group, which is not a police advisory board working party, held its final meeting last week. We expect to receive its report shortly.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, following his voluntary agreement with representatives of the tobacco companies, he will ensure that the ban on television advertising by cigarette companies is closely monitored.

The Independent Broadcasting Authority remains subject to a direction, given in 1965, not to broadcast paid advertisements for cigarettes and cigarette tobacco. We are satisfied that it complies strictly with that direction.The voluntary agreements on this subject are the responsibility of other Ministers than myself.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of accidents notified to Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate for the past 10 years, together with the number investigated in each year and the number of enforcement notices issued by the Factory and Agriculture Inspectorate; and if he will make a statement.

The following tables give such information as is readily available for the period 1971 to 1980. Details for 1981 are not yet available.Information about the numbers of accidents investigated during the years 1971 to 1974 cannot be obtained without disproportionate cost.Notices were not issued prior to 1975; powers were granted to inspectors under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which came into effect in 1975, when notices were first issued.

The following table gives the numbers of unemployed people who at April 1978, April 1979 and April 1982 had been registered for more than 52 weeks.

	April 1978	April 1979	April 1982
Bolton travel-to-work area	1,368	1,542	5,984
North West Region	56,946	60,088	152,154
Great Britain	332,311	346,795	949,679

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the percentage increase in unemployment in the United Kingdom from July 1981 to July 1982.

Between July 1981 and July 1982 the numbers of people registered as unemployed in the United Kingdom increased by 11·9 per cent.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give (a) the total cost of each special employment programme for each year since 1977, (b) the estimated average cost for each programme for 1982–83 and 1983–84, (c) the estimated numbers participating in each programme for 1982–83 and 1983–84, (d) the estimated average length of stay on each programme for 1982–83, 1983–84 and (e) the estimated number of participants in each programme for 1982–83 and 1983–84 as a percentage of the registered unemployed.

It is not possible to provide forecasts of the total numbers of people expected to participate in all special measures in 1983–84 or the total cost of the measures during the same financial year. It is also not possible to provide information on the average length of stay or the expected level of unemployment during 1982–83 or 1983–84. The following table 1 gives the cost of the measures for the financial years 1977 to 1981 and the estimates for the year 1981–82. Table 2 details the estimate for the current financial year and the present estimates of the numbers that will be supported.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what effect the youth training scheme is likely to have on youth unemployment in (a) Burton-upon-Trent and (b) Uttoxeter.

The youth training scheme, which will come into operation from September 1983, is not primarily about youth unemployment and it will cover employed as well as unemployed young people. But the Government have made sufficient resources available to guarantee a place on the scheme for all unemployed 16-year-olds and there should also be sufficient resources to provide for 17-year-old school leavers who become unemployed within the year after they leave school, although this latter group will not be guaranteed a place.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if Her Majesty's Government will sponsor research into the effects on the health of workers operating visual display units and other types of office technology.

The Health and Safety Executive—HSE—has recently reviewed the effects of visual display units—VDUs—which are often incorporated in other office equipment, on the health of operators. The results were published as an HSE research paper "Human factors aspects of visual display unit operation" in December 1980. Following the publication of this document the HSE has carried out extensive consultations on a draft guidance note which provides, first, information on the currently available evidence concerning the direct effects of VDU operation on health and, second, guidance on good practice concerning the introduction and use of VDUs in so far as their use has a bearing on the health, safety and welfare of those operating them. The HSE intends to publish the final version of this guidance in the autumn.Additionally, the HSE is in touch with those groups in the United Kingdom and elsewhere who are carrying out research into the health aspects of VDU operation. Where particular problems arise from the use of VDUs, investigations are carried out by the HSE's employment medical advisory service.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) whether he proposes to make any changes in form UB671 as a result of the pilot trial of work availability; and if he will withdraw questions 14 and 15 relating to child care arrangements;(2) what was the total number of referrals to insurance officers during the pilot trial of work availability; how many applications were disallowed; and what were the main reasons for benefit refusal.

As a result of the pilot exercise on the initial availability test, minor changes are to be made to form UB671. Questions 14 and 15 will be retained although with slightly different wording; in particular question 15 will now ask "What arrangements can you make for their care if you are at work?"The results show that 124 decisions on initial availability were given by insurance officers during the pilot exercise. There were 88 decisions to allow benefit and 36 disallowances. Over 60 per cent. of the disallowances were cases where the claimant was not available for any kind of work.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what were the results of the pilot trials of availability for work tests; whether he intends making any changes; and if he will make a statement.

The results from the unemployment benefit offices involved in running the pilot exercise on the initial availability test are given in the following table. As a result of the pilot exercise, a few minor modifications to the test will be made when it is introduced nationally in October.

Result of Pilot Exercise
Claimants tested	39,334
"No" replies to additional question on basic claim form	1,041
Forms UB671 issued	1,041
Forms UB671 returned	883
Claims treated as straightforward	759
Decisions given by insurance officer (88 allowed; 36 disallowed)	124

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what measures he has taken to assist the employment prospects of office workers in Information Technology Year, in view of the estimates by the Equal Opportunities Commission that 170,000 jobs will be lost in this sector by 1990.

Some £18 million was spent by the Manpower Services Commission in 1981–82 on supporting computer-related training for adults. In co-operation with the Department of Industry, the commission aims to extend the network of information technology centres—ITECs— to about 100 during 1982, which will provide an increasing number of young people with training and work experience in micro-electronics and computing skills. Estimates of the employment effects of changes in technology are necessarily subject to wide margins of error.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, further to his written reply of 5 April, Official Report, c. 232, concerning the earnings of agricultural workers, whether he will now publish in the Official Report a table showing such information as he now has for April 1982.

The information for April 1982 is not yet available.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what consultations have so far taken place regarding the fair wages resolution; what responses have been received; and if he will make a statement.

I have received a substantial number of responses to the letters sent seeking views on the future of the fair wages resolution. I am considering these and will inform the House of the Government's intentions as soon as possible.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what proportion of unemployed men and over 54 years of age have been without a job for more than a year in (a) Wolverhampton and (b) the West Midlands.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many women in (a) Accrington and (b) North East Lancashire registered as unemployed upon being made redundant in 1981.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 34]: The information is not available. The unemployment statistics do not separately indentify those who register upon being made redundant.

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons have been unemployed longer than (a) six months and (b) 12 months in (i) Wolverhampton, (ii) the West Midlands and (iii) the country as a whole at the latest available date; and if he will give the corresponding figures for June 1980, June 1979 and June 1981 and the increase each year in percentage terms.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 34]: The numbers registered as unemployed are analysed by duration of unemployment in January, April, July and October. The following table gives the numbers unemployed for the lengths of time specified and the percentage changes between comparable dates.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 34]: At 15 April, the latest date for which the quarterly figures are available, 53·2 per cent. of unemployed males aged 55 years and over in the Wolverhampton employment office area had been on the register for over 52 weeks. The corresponding figure for the West Midlands region was 47.4 per cent.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish details of the aid programme to Burma and indicate whether all or part of this aid is by cash payment.

United Kingdom aid to Burma amounted to about £3 million in 1981–82 and is expected to be about the same level in 1982–83.The programme now largely consists of capital aid provided under the aid trade provision. The volume of aid disbursed under this heading varies considerably from year to year, being dependent on applications by exporting firms for ATP support submitted to, and supported by, the Department of Trade.In addition, the United Kingdom programme of technical co-operation costs about £0·5 million annually; its main functions are to finance training in the United Kingdom for Burmese Government employees and to provide specialist advice in the field in such areas as medicine, fisheries research and English language training. None of this aid is by cash payment.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what particular action has been taken by the United Kingdom in the past 18 months to alleviate food shortage problems in the Sahel region of Africa.

The United Kingdom has provided a total of 2,090 tonnes of rice for Sahel countries from its bilateral food aid programme for 1981–520 tonnes for Senegal, 700 tonnes for the Gambia and 870 tonnes for Mali—at a cost of about £450,000. Mali is to receive a further consignment of rice of the order of 870 tonnes from the 1982 programme.Under bilateral technical co-operation arrangements, the United Kingdom has provided two experts for Mali on short-term grain stock storage who completed their assignments in 1981, and an expert on longer-term grain storage is now under recruitment. Three experts—a weed specialist, a soil scientist and a translator of agricultural technical documents—are also currently serving under bilateral technical co-operation with the Organisation pour la Mise en Valeur du Fleuve Senegal (OMVS), an organisation engaged in a variety of agricultural and related development projects in the Senegal river basin of benefit to Mali, Mauritania and Senegal.Additionally, the United Kingdom participates in the European Community's food aid programme, under which 73,000 tonnes of cereals, 4,250 tonnes of dried skimmed milk and 1,650 tonnes of butter oil costing about £12 million were allocated to Sahel countries in 1981.The United Kingdom also contributes to the resources of the world food programme, which is active in the Sahel region.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what response has been made by the United Kingdom to the appeals by the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for $39 million to cover the immediate needs of Palestinian refugees as a result of the fighting in the Lebanon.

The ODA's disaster unit has recently provided assistance in cash and in kind as follows:

	£*
UNRWA:
8,000 blankets	51,300
150 tents	35,600
Air freight 28,000 Oxfam blankets	30,000
ICRC:
Medical supplies and kits	38,000
3 Landrover Estate cars for Medical teams	19,700
Lebanon Red Cross:
Cash grant	10,000
Air freight of tents, blankets etc. donated by UNDRO, UNICEF and Swiss Government	30,000
	214,600
* Except for cash grant, figures are approximate.

This is additional to the United Kingdom's contribution of £4 million cash and £1 million food aid to the 1982 general programme of UNRWA.Furthermore, European Community emergency aid to the Lebanon amounting to some £5,230,000–9,338,000 ECU's—has been agreed or is under consideration. A portion has already been channelled through the international agencies. The United Kingdom's share of this will average about 20 per cent.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the outcome of the ministerial session of the World Food Council in Acapulco, in particular on the subject of grain reserves and world food security.

A copy of the official report of the World Food Council has been placed in the Library. The proposal for a developing country-owned grain reserve to help solve the problems of world food security was discussed, but a number of questions were raised about its economic and technical feasibility and it was remitted for further study.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the results of his Department in achieving the Government's policy programme since his reply to the hon. Member for Melton on 8 July 1981, Official Report, c. 141.

The annual review of agriculture 1982 White Paper (Cmnd. 8491) shows that farming income increased by 14 per cent. in 1981. We have played an active role in negotiations on the common agricultural policy in the interests of farmers and growers, processors and consumers. In the course of the 1982 negotiation on common agricultural policy prices, we resisted revaluation of the green pound. The final package will increase United Kingdom support prices by 10·2 per cent., but the direct effect on the retail price index over a full year will be ¼ per cent., and on the food price index 1¼ per cent. The consumer benefit of the beef premium scheme, the sheepmeat regime and the continuation of the butter subsidy will be worth some hundreds of millions of pounds, depending on the market situation.The price of milk has been increased to meet the special needs of this sector as a whole. The changes agreed following the Binder Hamlyn review provide a fair and stable framework for the industry's operations.We have negotiated the first ever improvements in the variable beef premium scheme. The maximum amount payable has been increased from 7·32 per kilogram liveweight to 10·759, and the FEOGA contribution has been increased from 25 per cent. to 40 per cent. The sucider cow premium has been maintained and this, together with an increase in the hill cow allowance and maintenance of the sheepmeat regime, will benefit the hill areas.The Government have continued to press for action on State aids and took the lead in securing the phasing out of the preferential tariff for gas supplied to Dutch horticulturists which had been distorting trade in glasshouse produce.We have continued to encourage improved marketing of food and agricultural produce, and have recently announced plans to seek early legislation to set up a new marketing organisation, Food from Britain, which will have as its objective the encouragement of better marketing of British produce both at home and overseas. The Government will give financial backing to Food from Britain during its first five years in operation.We have maintained the level of advice available to farmers and growers from the agricultural development and advisory service—ADAS—in particular to ensure that growing methods yield products which meet the requirements of the market. New varieties of vegetables have been developed. We have concentrated on the speedy development and application of new technology so as to increase the competitveness of British farming and the scope for exports of those food products best suited to our farming conditions. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act1981, ADAS now gives advice to farmers and growers and statutory bodies on conservation matters and is consulted by the relevant authorities on proposals for grant-aiding agricultural improvements in special areas. ADAS will also advise local planning authorities, under the Town and Country Planning (Minerals) Act 1981, on the restoration and aftercare of mineral workings.We have continued to maintain this country's freedom from major epizootic diseases. In the course of the last year, we introduced a slaughter and compensation policy for Newcastle disease in poultry. We were able to declare the whole of Great Britain an attested area for brucellosis, thereby virtually completing the eradication programme for this disease. We received valuable advice from the Farm Animal Welfare Council on a number of important welfare issues and, in our response to the House of Commons Agriculture Committee, set out our general approach to the welfare of farm animals.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether an official delegation from his Department visited Argentina during March or April; what was the purpose of the visit; and what report was given.

No official delegation from my Department visited Argentina during March or April.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether consular assistance by Her Majesty's Government is afforded in the People's Republic of China to ethnic Chinese residents of Hong Kong who are citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies.

British consular officials in China as elsewhere endeavour to accord consular assistance wherever necessary to all citizens of the United Kingdom and colonies, irrespective of their ethnic origin or place of residence. However, citizens of the United Kingdom and colonies who possess a second nationality are not entitled to official consular protection in the country of their second nationality. Those ethnic Chinese residents of Hong Kong who are both citizens of the United Kingdom and colonies and citizens of the People's Republic of China are therefore not entitled to official consular protection within China.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many people work for the British Council in Romania; and what is the size of the council's annual budget and the trend of expenditure over the past decade.

There are two London appointed officers and three locally engaged staff at the British Council office in Romania. The Council's country budget for 1982–83 is £222,000. I regret that figures for the whole of the past decade are not readily available. The trend over the past five years has fluctuated. In 1978 there was a minor increase of expenditure of 0·3 per cent. over 1977 figures. In 1979 there was a 5 per cent. decrease, and this pattern continued with a 22 per cent. decrease in 1980. 1981 saw an improvement with an 11 per cent. increase. It is too early to predict a pattern for 1982, but expenditure is not expected to increase in real terms. The 22 per cent. decrease in 1980 was a result of under-utilisation of the quota provisions by the Romanians.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the amount of compensation remaining outstanding in repect of British companies in Romania, including the Astra-Romania Oil Company, which had their assets sequestrated in the 1940s.

None. The Romanian Government paid the British Government sums of £1·25 million and £3·5 million under agreements made in 1960 and 1976, respectively, in full and final settlement of all British claims against Romania, other than those of the Shell International Petroleum Company Ltd. The two sums were distributed to claimants by the Foreigh Compensation Commission and, all possible payments having been made from them, the funds were wound up in March 1970 and March 1982, respectively. Shell's own financial claims against Romania, including those in relation to Astra-Romana SA, were the subject of a memorandum of understanding between the company and Petrom-Bucharest signed on 29 May 1971.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what initiatives the United Kingdom has taken under the agreement on co-operation in education, science and culture, Cmnd. 7493, negotiated between Great Britain and Romania and entered into force on 20 October 1978.

As a facilitating document, the cultural agreement does not provide for specific initiatives; this is the function of the two-year programmes. Since 1978 initiatives under these programmes have included the third Anglo-Romanian historical colloquium which took place in Bucharest; the Anglo-Romanian seminar on energy conservation in the building industry hosted at Bristol university; the Anglo-Romanian round table conference hosted by the Great Britain-East Europe centre, and the colloquium on the historian-diplomat Titulescu which took place in Britain in spring this year.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many United Kingdom teachers have taken part in exchange visits to Romania; and what is the number allocated to Romania to the United Kingdom since 1978.

Under the two-year cultural exchange programmes, 12 United Kingdom teachers have taken up lecturing positions in Romania since 1978. One lecturing post each year is allocated to the Romanians for teaching in Britain. Since 1978 two Romanian lecturers have taken up these positions.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will place in the Library a full copy of the text of the convention on the law of the sea adopted in New York on 30 April.

The text adopted on 30 April consisted of a principal document—A/CONF.62/L.78—and a number of amending documents. The only consolidation of these documents is a working paper prepared for the current session of the drafting committee. A copy of the official text will be placed in the Library when it is received.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which States neighbouring the United Kingdom have, and have not, accepted Her Majesty's Government's proposal for the delineation of the continental shelf as between them and the United Kingdom on the basis of the median lines and what further approaches have been made since 1965.

Agreements delimiting the continental shelf on the basis of equidistance have been concluded with Norway, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands. Agreement has also been reached in principle with Belgium. The delimitation between the United Kingdom and France of the continental shelf in the Channel west of 0 degrees 30 minutes west and the south-west approaches was laid down by a court of arbitration which gave its decisions in June 1977 and March 1978. The court was not asked to determine the eastern part of the boundary because the parties were already agreed in principle that the boundary would be the median line. An agreement with France for this purpose was signed on 24 June and will be laid before Parliament in the usual way. Negotiations are in train for the submission to arbitration of the delimitation of the boundary with the Republic of Ireland.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which non-governmental bodies he is consulting in his consideration of ratification of the United Nations Convention on the elimination of discrimination against women; and if this will include the Equal Opportunities Commission.

In considering ratification, the Government are concerned primarily to examine the compatibility of domestic law and practice with the obligations which would arise from the convention. This necessitates expert legal study rather than consultation with non-governmental bodies. But we are aware that many non-governmental bodies hope to see the earliest possible United Kingdom ratification and are taking this into account.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures Her Majesty's Government have taken to disseminate information about the United Nations Decade for Women.

We disseminated information through consultations with non-governmental organisations around the time of the 1980 mid-decade conference and look forward to resuming such consultations as the 1985 end-of-decade conference approaches. Meanwhile, the Women's National Commission has been designated the focal point for such activity for the rest of the decade.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements are in hand for the evacuation of British citizens from Lebanon.

On 24 June a chartered ship, the "Royal Prince", was sent to Jounieh, just north of Beirut, to evacuate those British subjects wishing to leave the Lebanon for Cyprus. 358 people were evacuated, of whom, 152 were United Kingdom citizens. The BBC overseas service has also broadcast a message that United Kingdom passport holders may leave southern Lebanon via Israel. We are keeping the situation under constant review.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has received representations alleging mistreatment of English football supporters by the authorities in Spain.

During the World Cup period only two football supporters from the United Kingdom asked our consular officials to make representations about their alleged mistreatment by the Spanish authorities. This has been done and a reply from the authorities is awaited.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice has been given to British corporations which have interests in Namibia, such as British Leyland, British Petroleum, British Nuclear Fuels and Rio Tinto Zinc, about the legality of their operations in the light of the impending independence of Namibia.

Successive Governments have considered that British trade with, or investment in, Namibia does not conflict with any of our international obligations. We give no promotional support for such trade.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied with the modernity, efficiency and frequency of radio and sea communications with Pitcairn Island; what plans are in hand to provide improved services to the island; and if he will make a statement.

Radio communications with Pitcairn will be improved shortly when the present morse system is replaced by point-to-point voice equipment. Arrangements are made for supply ships to call frequently enough to ensure that the normal needs of the islanders are met; and other ships passing through the area often call.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on the Government's policy towards the recommendations adopted by the Western European Union Assembly at its part session in Paris in June 1982 on the problem of nuclear weapons in Europe and on disarmament.

The Government welcome the Assembly's discussion of arms control and disarmament. We attach much importance to current negotiations for specific measures of disarmament and can in general support the Assembly's recommendations on nuclear weapons in Europe. We are glad to note that some of the Assembly's recommendations for disarmament similarly reflect the importance of the negotiations in Geneva and Vienna. We are not sure that some of the other recommendations are practicable.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the policy of his Department in relation to preferential travel arrangements with specified hotels changes once a hotel has been sold to the private sector; and if he will make a statement.

Our policy is to leave these matters to the transport operators concerned since they have the responsibility for deciding their fares and charges. I understand from them that commercial principles are applied to all contractual arrangements of this kind irrespective of who owns the individual hotels.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what financial allocation was made in each of the last five years for motorway construction; and how much was actually spent.

No specific allocation of funds is made for motorway construction within the cash limit for new construction and improvemet on both motorways and trunk roads. Funds are deployed to the best advantage within the whole cash block as circumstances develop over the year.Table 1 of the appendix to the Supply Estimates provides a breakdown of the estimated requirements for motorways and trunk road expenditure in the particular year of account, although these do not constitute formal financial allocations. In addition, an item for services which may not be carried out in the year—on motorway and trunk roads together—is included in the reconciliation provided at table 2.It is, therefore, not possible to make any direct comparison, but the following table shows the relevant figures from table 1 for motorway construction and improvement together with actual expenditure on the schemes in question:

	Estimated requirement £ million	Actual expenditure £ million
1981–82	267·6	*192·9
1980–81	188·6	156·1
1979–80	181·6	141·2
1978–79	168·7	131·6
1977–78	143·9	144·8
* Provisional outturn.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what extra arrangements are currently being made for pedestrians during A40 road works in Perivale especially in front of the Hoover factory, Perivale.

Arrangements are being made to divert the existing footpath temporarily across land owned by Messrs. Hoovers. This will be better for pedestrians.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has considered introducing a special development order for the M40 Oxford to Birmingham extension.

The special development order procedure can be used only to confer planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Acts. The only alternative to the normal procedure of schemes and orders under the Highways Act 1980 would be a hybrid Bill, which would be disadvantageous for both potential petitioners and Parliament.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many thousand million passenger kilometres were travelled in 1981 by each of the following modes: (a) private road transport, (b) public road transport, (c) rail and (d) air.

The information requested will be available in "Transport Statistics Great Britain 1971–1981", to be published later this year. Data for earlier years are given in table 1.1 of the 1980 edition, a copy of which is available in the Library.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to encourage local authorities to provide cycle lanes and more facilities for cyclists.

[pursuant to her reply, 19 July 1982, c. 66]: I refer the hon. Member to the statement of cycling policy made by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 26 January 1982.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many miles of cycle lanes were provided by each local authority at the latest available date.

[pursuant to her reply, 19 July 1982, c. 66]: I regret that this information is not available.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what financial help he is prepared to offer to local authorities which wish to spend more on cycle lanes and providing facilities for cyclists.

[pursuant to her reply, 19 July 1982, c. 66]: In his statement of 26 January, my right hon. Friend announced an extended programme of financial help for innovatory cycle schemes and invited county councils to include cycling schemes in their transport policies and programmes for 1983–84, so that they could be given favourable consideration in the allocation of transport supplementary grant.

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether it is his intention to seek to ban the passage of self-propelled forklift trucks upon the highway.

[pursuant to her reply, 19 July 1982, c. 66]: No. Forklift trucks are permitted to use public roads when passing from one works site to another in the immediate neighbourhood, and there are no plans to change this.

asked the Minister for Trade what is his policy for securing the removal of existing non-tariff barriers and preventing the creation of new ones between member States of the European Community; what recent assessment he has made of the success of this policy; and if he will make a statement.

The Government attach great importance to opening up further the internal market of the European Commmunity. With a view to minimising the impact of non-tariff barriers, securing their removal or preventing their creation, the Government are pressing inter alia the following policies:

(a) the Government help to disseminate information about requirements laid down by other Community Governments;

(b) where such requirements are compatible with Community law, the Government co-operate within the Community to cut the cost and effort they cause to business; sometimes by securing their alleviation, sometimes by promoting acceptable common formulations to take their place;

(c) where, on the contrary, British companies have well-founded complaints of illegal discrimination, the Government defend their Treaty rights by making, or supporting, representations to the Commission and partner Governments;

(d) the Government represent the United Kingdom view on matters which the Treaty has assigned to the Council, and which therefore depend on the collective political resolution of Governments.

Considerable progress has been made in the removal of barriers to trade in goods, though much remains to be done. The Government are not satisfied with the progress so far achieved in extending the freedom to provide services throughout the Community, and will continue to use every opportunity to work for the realisation of this fundamental principle of the Treaty of Rome.

asked the Minister for Trade if he will tabulate, from information available to him, the value of exports of manufactured goods from West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy, respectively, stating in each case the amount and percentage going (a) within Western Europe and (b) outside Western Europe, and expressing this as a percentage of gross domestic product.

Exports of Manufactures in 1980
	Federal Republic of Germany	United Kingdom	France	Italy
Total exports of manufactures, US $bn	167	81	84	66

asked the Minister for Trade if he will tabulate, from information available to him, the value of imports of food, and agricultural products, into West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy,

Imports of Food and Agricultural Products in 1980
	Federal Republic of Germany	United Kingdom	France	Italy

asked the Minister for Trade whether he intends to exercise the powers given to him by section 7 of the Films Act 1980.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 2.]: The latest available information is as follows:respectively, expressing this as a percentage of total imports, and indicating, in each case, how much comes from outside Western Europe.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 3.]: The latest available information is as follows:respectively, expressing this as a percentage of total exports, and indicating how much goes outside Western Europe, in each case.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 3]: The latest available information is as follows:

I have been considering the continuing value of the provisions of the Films Act 1960 which impose upon cinema exhibitors the obligation to show a certain percentage of British or Community films and to keep records and make returns. I have consulted the Cinematograph Films Council and I am aware of the views of the industry generally and of the film unions.I have decided the quota requirements are no longer necessary and I therefore intend to bring forward an order under section 7 of the Films Act 1980 to suspend them as from 1 January 1983.Taking into account the parlous state of the film industry and the serious shortage of films I do not think the behaviour of exhibitors in showing all the British or Community film they can will change, but they will be relieved of a formidable and unnecessary administrative burden.

asked the Minister for Trade how many British nationals, including those travelling as tourists, have travelled to Eastern European States in any recent year for which figures are available; and if he will give separate figures for Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania.

The available information is an follows:

Number of visits by United Kingdom residents*in 1981
	Thousands
Eastern Europe	202
of which:
Hungary	11
Bulgaria	41
Romania	64
* Information by nationality is not available.

asked the Minister for Trade if he will make financial assistance available to those businesses whose finances have been adversely affected because fulfilment of sales orders from Argentina was prevented by the trade sanctions introduced during the Falklands crisis.

I naturally regret the adverse effects which Argentine and our own trade sanctions may have imposed on British companies. But it has not been the policy of successive Governments to pay compensation in such cases. Some companies may have claims on ECGD where their business was insured with that Department.

asked the Minister for Trade if he is satisfied that all the member States of the European Economic Community were able to enforce the trade embargo on the Argentine to the same extent as Her Majesty's Government; and if he will make a statement.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 5]: I have no reason to doubt the effectiveness of the trade embargo imposed by the other member States of the European Community.

asked the Minister for Trade how often he, or other Ministers in his Department, have visited Israel since 23 July 1981; what further steps have been taken before the current hostilities to encourage trade with Israel; and what have been the results.

No Department of Trade Ministers have visited Israel since 23 July 1981; the fifth meeting of the United Kingdom-Israel joint committee was held in Israel in November 1981; the British Overseas Trade Group for Israel continued its normal promotional activities in the period in question; trade for the eight months for which figures are available, September 1981 to April 1982 totalled: exports to Israel £161 million; imports from Israel £186 million.

asked the Minister for Trade how many prosecutions have been made against companies failing to provide returns in 1978, 1979, 1980 and 1981; and if he will make a statement.

In 1978, 3,063 summonses for failure to deliver annual returns or accounts were issued against the directors of 622 companies; in 1979, 5,033 summonses were issued against 1,344 directors of 891 companies; in 1980, 3,720 summonses were issued against 1,058 directors of 588 companies; in 1981, 3,222 summonses were issued against 935 directors of 532 companies.

asked the Minister for Trade what is the cost to public funds of the construction of the headquarters of the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organisation; for what purposes its building will be used; and if he will make a statement.

The final cost to United Kingdom public funds of purchase of the site and construction of the building for the new headquarters of the international maritime organisation is estimated to be about £35 million. The organisation will pay rent to the Government at a concessionary rate. The building will accommodate the secretariat of the organisation and provide it with conference facilities comparable to those available to other United Nations specialised agencies. To the extent that those facilities are not required by the organisation, they will be available for hiring out on commercial terms, and office space surplus to the secretariat's needs will similarly be sublet on commercial terms. The Government will receive 80 per cent. of the proceeds of such hiring and subletting. Handover of the building to the organisation is planned for the end of October this year.

asked the Minister for Trade what progress he is making with implementing the Consumer Credit Act 1974; and if he will make a statement.

The Department has circulated in draft for comment all the main regulations necessary to implement the Act and hopes to complete work on them by the end of the year. I have decided however that I need not at this stage make regulations to implement certain other provisions of the Act. The regulations involved could be a burden on industry and I am not convinced that they are necessary at present. But the situation will be kept under review.The relevant provisions are:

asked the Minister for Trade whether he has completed his review of the monetary limits in the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

I propose to raise the main limits of £5,000 and £30 to £15,000 and £50 respectively and to increase most of the other limits. I expect to lay a draft order before Parliament in the autumn to bring the new limits into operation early next year. The present and proposed limits are:

Section	Present limit	Proposed limit
	£	£
*8(2) Upper limit for regulated consumer credit agreement	5,000	15,000
*15(1)(c) Upper limit for regulated consumer hire agreement	5,000	15,000
*17(1) Small agreement	30	50
*43(3)(a) Upper exemption limit for advertisement	5,000	15,000
70(6) Maximum fee or commission to credit-broker on cancelled agreement	1	3
*75(3)(b) Cash price limits on	30	50
joint liability of creditor and supplier	10,000	30,000
77(1), 78(1), 79(1) Fee for copy of agreement	15p	50p
84(1) Maximum liability following misuse of credit token	30	50
101(7)(a) Maximum annual hire payments for right of termination of hire agreement after 18 months to apply	300	900
107(1), 108(1), 109(1) Fee for information to surety	15p	50p
110(1) Fee for copy of security instrument	15p	50p
118(1)(b) Upper limit for use of unsworn statement in place of lost pawn-receipt	15	15
120(1)(a) Upper limit of pawned property which passes to pawnee if unredeemed at end of six months	†l5	15
155(1) Maximum fee or commission to credit-broker for work not leading to an agreement	1	3
158(1) Fee to credit reference agency for copy of file on individual	25p	1
* Changes in these limits require an affirmative resolution of both Houses of Parliament.
† Until the Pawnbrokers Act 1872 is repealed the limit of £2 in that Act will continue to apply.

A convenient opportunity will be taken to raise to £50 the £30 limits in the advertisement and quotations regulations.

asked the Minister for Trade when the Government will refer the law on services to the Law Commission.

My right hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester (Mrs. Oppenheim) announced on 22 January that the Lord Chancellor had agreed to refer the question of services to the Law Commission. He has now asked it

"to consider in the light of part II of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982;

(a) what reforms, if any, should be made to the terms to be implied by law in a contract for the supply of a service;

(b) whether, as against a consumer, the exclusion or restriction of the supplier's liability for breach of any of such implied terms should be prohibited;

(c) the consequences of breach by a supplier of any such terms;

and to make recommendations."

This reference will enable the Law Commission to consider not only what terms—other than those set out in part II of the Act—should be implied in contracts for the supply of a service but what remedies should be available to the recipient of the service if the supplier breaches one or more of the implied terms.The Law Commission will be concerned with codification and amendment of the existing common law in England and Wales in relation to contracts for the supply of a service. It would not be appropriate for it to investigate in detail the ways in which individual service industries operate. The Government hope, however, that it will—as in the past—take account of any legal issues which its proposals would create for particular trades, professions and service industries.There will be no comparable reference to the Scottish Law Commission since the subject falls within the scope of the law of obligations whose review is already within its programme.

asked the Minister for Trade how many visits there have been from the United Kingdom, at Heads of State or ministerial level, to Romania and from Romania to the United Kingdom over the past 10 years; and if he will give the dates and, where appropriate, the purpose of those meetings.

I have been asked to reply.Since July 1972 there have been 16 British ministerial visits to Romania. Her Majesty the Queen has not visited Romania in that time.In the same period there have been 30 such visits to the United Kingdom by Romanian Government Ministers. There was a State visit by President and Mrs. Ceausescu in June 1978.A list of these visits has been placed in the Library of the House. All except the private and transit visits were made in the exercise of official responsibilities.

asked the Minister for Trade what measures are being taken by his Department and trading organisations and others to promote British exports to the Republic of Chile; whether he expects the United Kingdom share of the Chilean market to show an increase in 1981; and if he will make a statement.

[pursuant to his reply, 16 July 1982, c. 488]: The full range of BOTB services is available to assist exporters in this market. The BOTB is sponsoring 13 firms at the FISA international trade fair in Santiago 27 October-7 November 1982. The United Kingdom share of the Chilean market in 1980 was 2·1 per cent. It is not yet possible on the basis of available figures to make any reliable estimate of our market share last year.

asked the Minister for Trade if he will make a statement on his review into the Civil Aviation Authority.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 12]: I have asked the new chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority to review all aspects of the authority's activities.The Civil Aviation Authority is justifiably proud of its high professional standards, but it has been represented to me by the civil aviation community that there may be scope for improvement in some aspects of its work. Accordingly, I have asked the chairman to review whether there is too much unnecessary paperwork required of air operators; whether the charges are too high; whether the authority is sensitive enough to the needs of its customers; and whether it has become unduly bureaucratic in its procedures.In the course of the review, the Civil Aviation Authority will consult users of its services and I have asked the chairman to report back to me before the end of the year with recommendations for improvements.

asked the Minister for Trade (1) how many Spanish-owned fishing boats are registered in the United Kingdom;(2) how often and with what results Spanish-owned fishing boats registered in the United Kingdom are examined by Department of Trade inspectors and port medical officers;(3) whether he is satisified with the food, accommodation and health facilities upon Spanish-owned trawlers registered in the United Kingdom;(4) how often inspectors of his Department have examined, for safety, the conditions upon Spanish-owned fishing vessels registered in the United Kingdom.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 12]: I understand that about 60 fishing boats previously registered in Spain have been re-registered in the United Kingdom. In order to be eligible for British registration, a ship must be wholly owned either by a British subject or by a company having its principal place of business in the British islands. All fishing boats on the British register are subject to the same regulations regarding safety, manning and health. I can assure the hon. Member that careful attention is being paid to the question of eligibility for registration, as well as surveys and inspections of fishing boats.

asked the Minister for Trade what specific recommendation have been made, or specific action taken, since 9 April 1981, by the overseas project board of the British Overseas Trade Board to assist the construction industry; and whether he envisages further action.

[pursuant to his reply, 19 July 1982, c. 12]: Following a thorough reappraisal of its activities, the overseas projects board has adopted new working procedures designed to improve its effectiveness in promoting the interests of the project industry, including the construction industry, by contributing to the formulation of Government policy in the overseas projects field and by advising on the deployment of support for export projects both generally and in particular cases.As part of its restructuring, the board has in the past year set up new working parties to consider and report on key areas of policy such as the aid and trade provision and ECGD services. The board has also been instrumental in reshaping the overseas projects fund into a more selective, but flexible, instrument of support.In the future the board will continue to provide independent industrial advice to the Government on issues concerning overseas projects, thereby seeking to enhance the performance of the United Kingdom projects industry in its pursuit of major overseas business.
