asked Her Majesty's Government:What instructions have been given to the High Commission in Harare regarding the granting of visas to visit or study in the United Kingdom and the political or quasi-political activities of applicants. [HL797]

The High Commission implements the rules governing visit and student visas. It and the FCO are working on a watch list of Zimbabwean nationals whose presence here may not be conducive to the public good. The list would be used on a discretionary basis to deny such people a UK visa.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What steps they have taken to consult non-governmental organisations and civil society groups in Zimbabwe and bodies such as the Accountability Commission in London to help determine whether there might be a good case prima facie for refusing certain visa applications. [HL798]

Our High Commission in Harare is in regular contact with NGOs and civil society groups in Zimbabwe.The High Commission follows immigration laws fully in deciding whether an individual should qualify for a UK visa. In individual cases there may be grounds for additional screening of applicants' backgrounds and for withholding visas if their presence here is considered to be not conducive to the public good.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether consideration has been given to drawing up an advisory list of Zimbabwean nationals to whom, because of their known involvement in crimes of violence and political intimidation, visas to visit the United Kingdom should not be granted. [HL799]

The High Commission and the FCO are working on a comprehensive watch list of Zimbabwean nationals whose presence here may not be conducive to the public good. The list would be used, on a discretionary basis, to deny such people a UK visa.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether police forces have been undertaking surveys of satisfaction for victims of racist attacks; and whether any national analysis of the satisfaction level is available. [HL605]

There is a new best value indicator for 2002–03 which requires police forces to undertake surveys to determine the level of victims of racist incidents who were satisfied with the police service when dealing with the incident. This information will not be collected centrally until after May 2003.

asked Her Majesty's Government:How many prosecutions for taking game without a licence there have been in the most recent 12-month period for which figures are available. [HL697]

Taking game without a licence is an offence under Section 23 of the Game Act 1831. The number of defendants prosecuted for taking game without a game licence cannot be separately identified in information held centrally on the Home Offices's Court Proceedings Database, from the number of defendants prosecuted for the offences of laying poison to destroy game, taking or destroying eggs of game, killing game on Sunday or Christmas Day, killing game out of season and the occupier of land killing game without authority under Sections 3, 12 and 24 of the Act.It is also an offence under the Game Licences Act 1860, but these similarly cannot be distinguished from other offences under this Act.The number of defendants proceeded against for all the offences mentioned above under the Game Act 1831 during 2001 in England and Wales was seven and under the Game Licences Act 1860 was also seven.Figures for Scotland show that there were nil and four defendants proceeded against under these statutes respectively during 2001.The latest figures available for Northern Ireland relate to 1999, which show that no proceedings were taken under these statutes in that year.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have made any new appointments to the board of the Central Police Training and Development Authority (Centrex). [HL972]

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Professor David Croisdale-Appleby to the board of the Central Police Training and Development Authority. Professor Croisdale-Appleby will be taking up his duties immediately.He is a visiting professor of strategic marketing and communications at Strathclyde University, and these skills will be of immense value to the board. He has extensive experience as a board member with various bodies, and has been a CEO of major international marketing and advertising businesses. He was recently invited by the Lord Chancellor's office to become a member of the Family Health Services Appeal Authority and for one year was seconded to run a firm of solicitors specialising in criminal and family law.Professor Croisdale-Appleby joins the board at a time when Centrex is still finding its feet, having only been established as an executive non-departmental public body on 1 April last year. Centrex has a pivotal role to play in developing policing excellence, charged as it is with new police recruit training, and developing leadership skills within the police service. In addition to providing support and consultancy to forces, both domestic and international, on operational policing matters, Centrex is leading the way on alternative learning technologies through its new web-based learning portal. Centrex is also establishing the National Centre for Policing Excellence, which will identify and disseminate good policing practice, such as the new street crime knowledge map, and develop regulations and codes of practice for effective operational policing.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether those whose exceptional leave to remain is not renewed will have the option of applying for naturalisation as British subjects. [HL726]

We can see no circumstances in which people refused leave to remain could meet the criteria for naturalisation.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What progress has been made by the committee chaired by Sir Bernard Crick on citizenship; when the committee will report to Ministers; and when the committee's report will be published. [HL761]

The advisory group chaired by Sir Bernard Crick is due to meet for the fifth time in mid-January 2003 and intends submitting an interim report to Ministers shortly thereafter. Sir Bernard has already consulted a number of interested parties and there will be a further round of informal consultation early in the new year. The group hopes to make a final report around Easter 2003.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What discussions they have held with the British Deaf Association and the Royal National institute for the Deaf about including sign language as a language, the sufficient knowledge of which could give a person the opportunity to make a successful application for naturalisation as a consequence of the implementation of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. [HL762]

As mentioned in the letter I sent to the noble Baroness on 3 October, the British Deaf Association and the Royal National. Institute for the Deaf were two of the organisations we consulted during the summer on the role of sign language in naturalisation knowledge requirements. As a result of these consultations we concluded that the best course was to waive these requirements for those with serious hearing disabilities.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have any plans to strengthen immigration control to ensure that people coming into the United Kingdom do so in accordance with the Immigration Rules. [HL973]

The Government are firmly committed to maintaining effective immigration controls and ensuring that genuine passengers are able to pass through our ports with the least possible delay.For some years the number of Jamaican passengers being refused entry on arrival in the United Kingdom has been increasing—nearly 3,500, or 6 per cent, of arrivals last year. The number of Jamaicans who abscond having been given temporary admission is also unacceptably high—more than 150 a month during the first half of this year. These problems create enormous pressures for the Immigration Service but also lead to unacceptable delays and inconvenience for the great majority of genuine travellers from Jamaica. The situation can best be demonstrated by looking at the period leading up to Christmas. During the six weeks to 17 December 2002, 1,233 Jamaican nationals were refused entry at the UK's 12 busiest ports. This represented nearly 20 per cent of all refusals at those ports during that period. The only effective way of easing these problems is to ensure that Jamaican passengers have demonstrated that they qualify to enter the United Kingdom before they embark for this country. In the circumstances we have decided to impose a visa regime on all Jamaican nationals wishing to visit the United Kingdom.We would want to provide reassurance that the presence of a visa regime should not be a bar to those Jamaican nationals who genuinely wish to visit the United Kingdom. The rules under which decisions are made are the same whether that decision is made on arrival or before. This visa regime simply allows officials to consider the application before the passenger embarks for the United Kingdom. Providing greater certainty that a person has satisfied the Immigration Rules will also smooth the passage of genuine visitors through the immigration controls, giving advantage to all concerned.

asked Her Majesty's Government:

(a) what is the increase in the retail prices index, excluding mortgage payments (RPIX), as compared with the relevant month a year ago for each of the 12 months ending 30 November; and

(b) in respect of each month, what was the figure for the depreciation of owner occupied houses which has been a component of the index since 1995; and

(c) what percentage this represents for each of the relevant months' figures. [HL911]

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.Letter from the Director of Macroeconomics and Labour Market, Office for National Statistics, Colin Mowl, dated 7 January 2003.The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question on the retail prices index excluding mortgage interest payments (RPIX). I am replying in his absence.The figures are provided in the table below. In the first two columns for RPIX and house depreciation respectively the percentage change over 12 months relates to the percentage change in the relevant index number compared with the same month a year earlier. The third column shows the percentage change over 12 months for RPIX with the house depreciation component excluded.Each component of RPIX has a weight equal to its proportion of the total expenditure on goods and services by households covered by the index. The weight for house depreciation given in the final column represents the expenditure that owner-occupiers would find necessary to maintain their houses at constant quality expressed as a percentage of total household expenditure. RPI weights are updated each February.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they have any plans to carry out a business process review of the six principal service personnel museums. [HL927]

A business process review of the six principal service personnel museums is to be carried out by the Ministry of Defence. These organisations have non-departmental public bodies designation and receive grants in aid from the MoD. They are the Royal Naval Museum, the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, the Royal Marines Museum, the National Army Museum and the Royal Air Force Museum. The previous review, termed a quinquennial review, was completed in March 1997.Preliminary work has defined the scope of the study. The second phase will begin shortly and is expected to be completed within six months. The aim of the review is to examine the function, role, operation, funding and organisation of the museums, to seek to identify key objectives and performance and to determine whether their current status is most appropriate to future needs.The review team will consult with a range of stakeholders during the course of the review, including the museum directors, staff and trustees, MoD and single service sponsors, TUs, local government, other government departments and other museums. The Ministry of Defence is interested also to hear the views of other organisations or individuals who would like to

make a contribution to the review. Those wishing to do so should send their contributions by 28 February 2003 to:

asked Her Majesty's Government:When a contract will be placed for the Meteor air-to-air missile. [HL971]

We are pleased to inform the House that the contract for the Meteor air-to-air missile for the RAF's Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft was placed with MBDA on 23 December 2002. This followed the signature of the Meteor MOU by Germany, the last of the six partner nations (France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the UK) to sign, which permitted the UK, as lead nation, to sign the contract with MBDA.Meteor is a key element of the Government's commitment to provide the best possible equipment for the Armed Forces. It will ensure Typhoon has the capability to combat predicted air-to-air threats thereby meeting our requirement to maintain air superiority well into the future.This is extremely good news for British and European industry, sustaining high quality jobs in new technology and in system and software design. Furthermore, it puts MBDA at the forefront of a strengthened European missile defence industry and enhances export prospects for Typhoon.When my right honourable friend the Defence Secretary (Mr Hoon) announced, on 16 May 2000, (

asked Her Majesty's Government:What development funding has been allocated by the Government and the European Union to seaside resorts in 2002 to date. [HL722]

There are no specific allocations for seaside resorts. However, a number of resorts are located within Objective 1 and 2 and INTERREG areas and therefore will benefit from Euopean funding.The readily available data for European Funding of projects in seaside resorts (broadly interpreted) is contained in the table below. The sums are grants approved during 2002 for projects located in or around coastal towns. Projects may (and often do) run for a number of years following approval.Additional to the sums mentioned, there is match funding—which applicants provide from other, including non-public, sources.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What is the estimated timescale for the decommissioning of the remaining United Kingdom nuclear power stations when they no longer supply the National Grid. [HL849]

Decommissioning of a nuclear power station, including details of timing, is a matter for the operator, taking into account the requirements of the regulatory authorities

asked Her Majesty's Government:Why the Atomic Energy (Americium) Order 2002 came into force on 1 December when the Dual-Use Items (Export Control) (Amendment) (No 2) Regulations 2002 applied from 21 August. [HL874]

There was no dependency between the two measures and therefore no particular need to bring them into force at the same time. The export control amendment occurred earlier due to the fact that routine amending regulation was pending in July and was hence readily available as a vehicle for introducing export control upon americium.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether under paragraph 4(m) of the Wireless Telegraphy (Public Fixed Wireless Licences) Regulations 2002 it is not possible for the Secretary of State to refuse to renew a licence. [HL876]

If the notice yet to be issued by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry under Regulation 4 of the Wireless Telegraphy (Public Fixed Wireless Licences) Regulations 2002 were to contain the provision set out in paragraph (2) (m) of that regulation, under which each sucessful participant in the spectrum auction provided for in the regulations would have the option to renew their licences for two successive five-year periods, my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry could not refuse to renew the licence if the option were exercised.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Why patients are asked to give their religious affiliation on admission to hospital when it appears that this information is not, or cannot be, passed on to chaplains who may give appropriate spiritual support. [HL450]

Hospital chaplains have an important role to play in hospitals and their work is appreciated by many patients.Under the provisions of both the Data Protection Act 1998 and the common law duty of confidentiality, NHS hospitals must not disclose information about a patient's religious affiliation to chaplains for the purposes of spiritual care without first seeking the consent of the patient. The exceptions are where there is a statutory requirement to disclose or where a patient is incapable of providing consent and clinicians consider that disclosure is in the patient's best interests.It is possible for hospitals to seek consent when they collect information and we understand that there are hospital trusts where this is routinely done. The Department of Health is presently working with representatives of various faith groups to identify and share good practice examples of hospital admission systems which routinely seek consent for the relay of this information to chaplains and which work in an efficient manner.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What percentage of mothers and fathers (respectively) attending antenatal clinics have received advice not only on child birth and physical care of the young child but also on the emotional needs of young children and the kinds of care appropriate to fulfilling those needs. [HL657]

The information requested is not collected centrally. However, the antenatal services work closely with the postnatal services. Parents are given advice after the birth of the baby mainly through health visitors, who visit in the first six weeks after the birth of the child to provide guidance and support on the physical as well as the emotional needs of young children. The Birth to Five book is available free to all first-time mothers—usually handed out by the health visitor on the first visit after the mother has returned home with her baby rather than at the antenatal clinic. This is a complete guide to parenthood and covers the first five years of the child's life and includes caring for its emotional needs.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What were:

The number of births registered in 2001 for England and Wales was 594,634 live births and 3,159 stillbirths.The information relating to the number of mothers and fathers attending antenatal clinics is not collected centrally. However, relevant information relating to some specific activity in the National Health Service is published as part of the Reference Costs 2002 publication which gives the activity data for first and follow-up attendances in NHS Trust Antenatal clinics. This is available at www.doh.uk/nhsexec/refcosts.htm. An extract is as follows.Antenatal care provision, including courses of antenatal classes, is determined on the needs of women and their partners and there is also no central collection of statistics for these.

asked Her Majesty's Government:When they will announce the 2003–04 to 2005–06 National Health Service capital allocations. [HL970]

We are announcing capital allocations for the National Health Service for the next three years today. This is consistent with the revenue budget allocations which were issued late last year.Capital allocations are made to the NHS in two parts. Operational capital is for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing existing capital stock and is made direct to NHS trusts and primary care trusts. Strategic capital, which is allocated direct to all strategic health authorities (StHAs), is for distribution at their own discretion for larger scale investments.Total operational capital is increasing by 10 per cent in each of the three years 2003–04 and 2005–06. The growth in strategic capital in the StHAs is 13 per cent, 11 per cent, 14 per cent for each of the three years. The residue of the capital is being held centrally—the largest being for information technology where £400 million is being held for 2003–04,£700 million for 2004–05 and £1.2 billion for 2005–06.This is the first time that day-to-day operational capital has been allocated directly to NHS StHAs, trusts and primary care trusts.This is the first time that capital allocations have been made for three years rather than one year, allowing the local NHS to plan with confidence and certainty for the future.In addition, allocations have been informed by a new funding formula for both operational and strategic capital to give a nationally consistent and fairer basis for the distribution of funds.Of the money allocated to StHAs, £100 million is for the establishment of a local access incentive fund. The purpose is to reward NHS trusts and primary care trusts which make rapid progress in improving access to NHS treatment. Clearly this could include any of the NHS plan targets for access, both in hospital and primary care. Initially, however, we expect the main focus to be on:

asked Her Majesty's Government:

(a) what is the present price of a game licence:

(b) when the price of this licence was last changed;

(c) how many game licences have been issued during the most recent year for which figures are available;

(d) how many post offices in the United Kingdom are able to supply game licences;

(e) what is the total gross annual revenue from such licences;

(f) what is the total annual cost of administering the scheme; and

(v) whether they regard the game licence as a necessary and cost-effective way of raising revenue. [HL696]

The present price of an annual licence to kill game is £6. A period licence to kill game and a gamekeeper's licence each cost £4. A 14-day licence to kill game costs £2. A game dealer's licence costs £4. Those licences may be obtained through any post office. The price of a game licence was last changed in 1968 by a Treasury order which increased the fees set in the Game Licences Act 1860 by 100 per cent.In the year 2001–02, the total number of game licences issued by post offices in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland was 48,385. The toal gross annual revenue from those licences was £251,884. The total annual cost of administering the scheme for 2001–02 is estimated at £261,900 plus VAT.In addition to the licences referred to above, district councils and London borough councils issue licences to deal in game. No figures are collected centrally for the numbers of licences issued by councils. We understand that arrangements and charges vary.Central government do not benefit from the revenue from game licences. The income is received by district councils and London borough councils, in which the duty to issue licences is vested. We acknowledge that the game licensing system is complex and derives from 19th century legislation. The Government are aware of concerns over the operation of the game licensing regime.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Answer by the Lord Pricy Seal on 16 December (

It is impossible to say what decisions successive UK governments might have taken over the last 20 to 30 years if there had been no common fisheries policy and what impact these decisions would have had. However, we cannot claim that 75 per cent of stocks were our fish. The UK historically only controlled its territorial waters and many UK fishermen took their catches in international waters.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What owners of stock should do with fallen stock when new regulations come into force next year which prohibit them from burying animals which have died. [HL805]

The usual routes for disposal of fallen stock are by rendering, incineration or taking to an approved knacker or hunt kennel. These will continue to be permitted when the new EU legislation, the Animal By-Products Regulation, applies in member states from 30 April 2003. The regulation will ban the on-farm burial or burning of animal carcasses. The only exceptions from the ban would be for remote areas (parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland) and during outbreaks of notifiable disease if there were a lack of capacity at rendering plants and incinerators or if transport of the carcasses would spread disease.Under the TSE (England) Regulations 2002 there is a legal obligation to notify the competent authority or their agents of the discovery of all fallen bovines aged over 24 months other than those killed for welfare reasons. The agents in this case are Animal Handling Facilities Ltd (AHF). Once they have been notified of the fallen animal they will arrange for the animal to be collected, sampled and the carcass destroyed free of charge.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Davies of Oldham on 19 December (HL404), when they intend to publish their response to the United Kingdom Youth Parliament's Manifesto and Agenda for Action 2002. [HL924]

The CYPU intends to publish the Government's response to the document by late spring 2003. We will send a copy of the response to my noble friend and place copies in the Libraries of the House.

asked Her Majesty's Government:In respect of table 4.1 in the 2002

Table 4.1 of 2002 Spending Review—Departmental Investment Strategies: A Summary (Cm 5674) records the total value of fixed assets owned by each government department as at 31 March 2001. These figures reflect those given in each department's published resource accounts for 2000–01. A figure of £62,996 million is given for the former Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR). This included some £23 million of intangible assets, £61,084 million of tangible assets and £1,890 million of investments.The tangible assets included £59,773 million as the net book value of the trunk road network. In general terms, roads that are "open for traffic" are valued on the basis of their estimated depreciated replacement cost. Roads (or parts of roads such as additional lanes) that are still under construction are valued on the basis of the capital expenditure incurred to date on their construction. The last full revaluation of the trunk road network was carried out by professional surveyors, as at 31 March 2000. This valuation was carried out mainly using internal unit costing and physical asset records provided by the Highways Agency. Certain large structures, for example the QEII Bridge, and roadside communications were valued at historic cost, appropriately indexed. For other large structures, insurance valuations were used as the best approximation to the replacement cost. The valuations were indexed to 31 March 2001 to reflect changes in the Road Construction Tender Price Index.Since privatisation, the main railways assets—the infrastructure and rolling stock— have been held in the private sector and therefore did not appear in the figures for tangible assets held by DETR. However, the figure for total investments included a National Loans Fund loan to the British Railways Board of some £481 million. Various minor shareholdings in the form of special shares in rail-related companies are not valued but are noted in view of the insignificant amounts involved. These holdings are listed in Note 12 of the DETR Resource Accounts 2000–01

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the Traffic Commissioners can properly consider a goods vehicle operator to be of good repute if that operator has been detected using red diesel rather than derv, which attracts a n- Lich higher rate of fuel duty. [HL792]

The detection and prosecution of red diesel offences is the responsibility of HM Customs and Excise. If a goods vehicle operator is convicted of such an offence, then the Traffic Commissioner will be informed. Traffic Commissioners can take this information it to account in determining whether the operator is of good repute, which is one of the requirements for holding a goods operator's licence.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will publish the financial justification for the Strategic Rail Authority giving an extra £58 million of taxpayers' money to Connex to operate its rail franchise next year; and why this franchise was not cancelled and put out to retender, as provided for under Section 30 of the Railways Act 1993, as amended by Section 212 of the Transport Act 2000. [HL824]

The Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) provided Connex with a further £58 million on 11 December 2002 to stabilise the loss-making franchise during 2003 and to allow negotiations to take place to establish an amended agreement for Connex to operate services to the end of 2006. Connex's franchise would then expire and be replaced by an all-Kent franchise, to include high-speed domestic services on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link to London St Pancras, for which the SRA plans to start a competition in 2004. It is the SRA's view that £58 million, as a minimum, would have been payable to any alternative operator in any other scenario.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What is the budget for expenditure of the Department for Transport for the current financial year; and what are the latest estimates for expenditure to date, forecast to year end. [HL825]

The Department for Transport expenditure limit (DEL) for 2002–03 is £8,928,473,000. Latest estimates of expenditure show that by the end of November the department had spent approximately 68 per cent of its DEL. The department is currently forecasting to spend close to budget this year.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answers by Lord Macdonald of Tradeston on 9 December (

Research carried out for the Department for Transport concluded that flashing lamps offer no conspicuity benefits over steady lamps but they could help provide a special light characteristic that would be associated with vulnerable users. As there is currently no standard for them, the Government are currently only proposing to allow them as optional lamps to be used in conjunction with steady lamps, which are required to conform to the British Standard.The Department for Transport is intending to carry out a public consultation exercise in early 2003 on proposals to amend the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 which would allow the use of flashing red rear lamps on pedal cycles.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Macdonald of Tradeston on 18 December (

The names of the Strategic Rail Authority's (SRA's) executive directors can be found in the SRA's Annual Report 2001–02, copies of which are in the Library of the House. It is not considered either appropriate or necessary to attach names to other posts, as all communications are handled centrally by the SRA's Parliamentary and Public Communications Team, which consults with colleagues as required.

asked Her Majesty's Government:How often MV "Prestige" called at Spanish ports in the last five years; at which ports it called; and when such visits were made. [HL923]

Commercial records of ship movements indicate that the MV "Prestige" called at Algeciras on 16 March 1998 and Las Palmas on 20 March 1998.
