HOME DEPARTMENT
Security Firms
Mr. Redmond : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take the necessary action to require all employees of security firms (a) to be registered by the police authority, (b) to be issued with a personal number and (c) to be required to wear their personal identification number prominently and visually ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Charles Wardle : My right hon. Friend has no plans to do so. The Government's policy is to promote self-regulation in the private security industry.
Electoral Malpractice
Mr. William Ross : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will make a statement on the penalties for electoral malpractice ;
(2) what proposals he has to increase the penalties for corrupt or illegal electoral practices ;
(3) what proposals he has for the revision of the law on illegal electoral practices.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : The penalties for corrupt practices, illegal practices and other offences are set out in the Representation of the People Act 1983. We have no proposals for revising the law.
Mr. William Ross : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for amendment of the legislation on the conduct of elections.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : We have set up five working groups of Home Office officials and representatives of returning officers and local authorities to consider different aspects of the electoral process. We shall consider the findings of the working groups once they have concluded their work.
Mr. William Ross : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for extension of the time for submission of electoral expense returns.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : We have no such proposals.
Animal Experimentation
Mr. Cohen : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to investigate the value of human tissue as an alternative to both live animal experimentation and experiments with animal tissues.
Mr. Charles Wardle : The Home Office, on the advice of the Animal Procedures Committee, funds research into ways of refining, reducing and replacing the use of living animals in scientific procedures. Applications for funding are considered by the research sub-committee of the APC.

Police Interview Notes
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many instances in each of the past three years criminal convictions have been referred back to the Court of Appeal following re-examination of the original police interview notes.
Mr. Jack : The re-examination of original police interview notes was a factor in the reference to the Court of Appeal of one case in 1990, four cases in 1991 and three cases in 1992.
Mr. Mallon : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many requests have been made to the police in each of the past three years for the disclosure of original interview notes in cases where criminal charges have been brought ; in how many instances these requests have been denied ; and for what reasons.
Mr. Charles Wardle : This information is not available. Records are not held in a form which would identify such requests.
Prison Service (Supply and Transport)
Sir John Wheeler : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the future arrangements for the warehousing and distribution function of the prison service's supply and transport branch.
Mr. Kenneth Clarke : Following the market testing of the warehousing and distribution function, I approved, in July 1992, the award of a contract to a private sector company, subject inter alia to the negotiation of a satisfactory contract. It has not been possible to negotiate such a contract, and the next best bid, which is the in-house bid, now becomes the preferred bid. I have instructed officials to negotiate a service level agreement with the in-house providers. I expect the outcome of this market test to reduce the present costs of this function by about a quarter over three years.
Probation Service
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of the probation service budget in England and Wales was spent on (a) research and information and (b) administration in 1981, 1991 and 1992 respectively.
Mr. Jack [holding answer 19 February 1993] : Probation service expenditure, while broken down, is not done so in such a way as to enable this information to be given.
Probation areas, taking account of both national and local plans and priorities, make their own decisions about expenditure on research and on administration. Much valuable research work as well as essential information work is conducted within probation areas. The number of personnel employed by probation committee in England and Wales as research and information officers and as clerical, secretarial and adminstrative staff was as follows (percentage of total staff in parentheses) :

Telephone Sex Lines
Mr. Stephen : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will bring forward proposals to ban sex lines from the public telephone system.
Mr. Leigh : I have been asked to reply.
There is an effective system of regulatory control of these services ; they are obliged to operate under a code of practice drawn up and monitored by the independent committee for the supervision of standards in telephone information services (ICSTIS). The code sets detailed conditions for the content, conditions of access and advertising of the services.
Telephone subscribers also have the opportunity to request call barring, which makes it impossible to call the services from their line. BT provides this facility free of charge.
LORD CHANCELLOR'S DEPARTMENT
High Court Judges
Sir John Wheeler : To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department whether additional judges will be appointed to reduce delays in the High Court.
Mr. John M. Taylor : The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice have now considered the advice of the group of judges and officials chaired by Lord Justice Kennedy. This is contained in the group's report on High Court judges' work, deployment and numbers, copies of which will be made available to the Libraries of both Houses. As a result of that advice, the Lord Chancellor and I have decided to seek parliamentary and Privy Council approval in the near future to increase the statutory maximum number of judges.
Column 290
Subject to that approval, the Lord Chancellor intends as soon as possible to recommend the appointment of 10 additional High Court judges, and he has agreed with the Lord Chief Justice and the Vice-Chancellor that the additional judges will be deployed in such a way as to reduce delays and backlogs in the chancery division, the Court of Appeal criminal division, the Crown Office list, the employment appeal tribunal and the commercial court.EDUCATION
Market Testing
Mrs. Gorman : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will subject the work of his Department's solicitors branch to market testing ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Boswell : There are no immediate plans to market test the work of the Department's legal branch.
Education Spending
Mr. Clifton-Brown : To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list for each local education authority in England and Wales for each year since 1985 (a) their total spending, (b) their spending per pupil and (c) their spending per pupil at nursery, primary and secondary stages of education.
Mr. Forth : The information for England for parts (a) and (b) is given in table 1, and for part (c) in table 2. Expenditure on schools in Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales. Figures given relate to net institutional expenditure rather than total LEA spending. The tables show spending in cash for years up to 1990-91, the latest year for which information on actual spending is available.

Notes:
1. Net institutional expenditure covers the direct costs in schools of salaries and wages, premises and certain supplies and services. It does not include the costs of school meals, home to school transport, LEA central administration, and financing costs of
capital expenditure. For 1990-91, figures include unspent balances held by schools at the year end under local management of schools schemes.
2. Table 1 omits data for 1988-89 because comparable figures are not available.
3. Figures in both tables up to 1989-90 are from the Cipfa publication "Education Statistics Actuals incorporating The Handbook of Unit Cost" for each relevant year. For 1990-91, figures are derived directly from local education authorities' returns of their
spending to the Department of the Environment and of their pupil numbers to the Department for Education.
4. Spending on nursery and primary schools was not collected separately for years after 1986-87.

TRANSPORT
Road Schemes
Mr. Simon Hughes : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those road schemes currently proposed by his Department which will have effects on (a) sites of special interest, (b) areas of outstanding natural beauty and (c) national parks ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Kenneth Carlisle : We place great emphasis on environmental considerations when assessing road proposals. Wherever possible roads are kept away from protected areas such as sites of special scientific interest, areas of outstanding natural beauty, and national parks. We consult statutory environmental organisations from the earliest stages of route development to ensure that impacts on protected areas, where unavoidable, are limited, and appropriate mitigation measures put in place, including the creation of new habitats.
