Middle East (Exports)
Mr. Hutton : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what assistance is provided by his Department for exporters looking to open up markets in the middle east.
Mr. Needham : The Government's overseas trade services are available for most middle east markets and many exporters use them. This year the DTI is supporting 26 trade missions and a United Kingdom presence at 24 trade fairs in the area. It is particularly encouraging that a substantial number of participating companies are new exporters to the region. Export Credits Guarantee Department support is also available for credit-worthy middle east markets. We also see considerable scope in these markets, which last year took United Kingdom exports of £7 billion, for using some of the 100 secondees my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade plans to recruit from industry to assist with the promotion of United Kingdom exports.
Column 254
Exports
Sir Michael Neubert : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what evidence he has of improved British export performance in the last 10 weeks.
Mr. Needham : United Kingdom figures are not available on a weekly basis. In the three months to October 1992, United Kingdom exports had increased by 2 per cent. by value, and 4 per cent. in volume terms, compared with a year earlier.
Consumers Affairs Council
Mr. Batiste : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the outcome of the Council of Ministers (Consumer Affairs) held in Brussels on 3 November.
Mr. Leigh : My noble Friend the Baroness Denton, the Minister for Consumer Affairs and Small Firms, was in the chair for the meeting of the Council on 3 November.
The Council reached political agreement to a common position on the proposed sixth amendment to the directive on the approximation of the legislation of the member states on cosmetic products. This was made possible by the incorporation of a presidency proposal : a ban of the use of ingredients tested on animals for cosmetics after 1998 but with an obligation on the Commission on scientific advice to make a proposal to the appropriate regulatory committee to postpone this ban if alternative tests have not been developed in time.
The Council held an orientation discussion on the proposed directive on timeshare which revealed strong support for the measure from members of the Council. There was useful clarification of the positions of member states on four key issues--the scope of the directive, the information in the brochure and contract, withdrawal periods and reimbursement upon withdrawal. It is likely that political agreement will be reached during the Danish presidency. There was a short debate on the proposed directive on distance selling which highlighted the reservations voiced by several member states, particularly as to whether or not services, and most notably financial services, should be included within the scope of the directive. The permanent representatives committee will continue to examine the proposal, with particular reference to the opinion of the European Parliament.
Commissioner Van Miert gave a presentation to the Council on the consumer aspects of the report by the high-level group chaired by Peter Sutherland on the operation of the single market.
In addition, on the basis of a paper from the presidency, the Council explored the question of the need for increased co-operation between enforcement authorities in member states in order to secure the benefit of the single market for consumers. Discussion revealed that delegations were interested in such co-operation, particularly based on existing national structures.
The Commission described progress that had been made on the implementation of the Community scheme for the rapid exchange of information on dangers arising from the use of consumer products and outlined the current state of work on the European home and leisure accident surveillance system.
Column 255
Renewable Energy
Mr. Colvin : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish details of Government spending on renewables research and development for the current financial year broken down by the energy source.
Mr. Eggar : The estimates provision for the renewable energy research and development programme for 1992-93 is detailed in table 7 of "The Government's Expenditure Plans within the Energy Sector 1992-93 to 1994-95".
Mr. Colvin : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish the names of the members of the Renewable Energy Advisory Group together with their credentials ; and if he will make a statement on their agenda for the current financial year.
Mr. Eggar : The Renewable Energy Advisory Group was appointed in 1991 to review the Government's strategy to stimulate the development and application of renewable energy technologies wherever they have prospects of economic viability and environmental acceptability. Its report will contribute to the Government's overall review of renewable energy and will be published shortly.
Membership of the group is as follows :
Dr. Martin Holdgate Chairman
Director General, International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources ; formerly Deputy Secretary, Environment Protection and Chief Environment Scientist, Department of the Environment.
Dr. Mary Archer
Chairman, National Energy Foundation.
Mr. John Bellak

Column 256
Mr. Colvin : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on his policy for market-based support for the renewable energy technology through the non-fossil fuel obligation and the fossil fuel levy, with percentage and cash figures for each.
Mr. Eggar : My right hon. Friend's policy is to make renewables orders during the 1990s to support 700 MW of renewable generating capacity ; the amount of support required through the levy will depend upon the contribution to generators' costs made by revenue from market sales. My right hon. Friend will review this policy in the light of the report from the Renewable Energy Advisory Group, taking into account the coal review now in progress.
Waste to Energy
Mr. Austin-Walker : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the present level of subsidy for electricity per kilowatt hour through the non-fossil fuel obligation ; and how much this represents per tonne of waste incinerated in waste to energy schemes.
Mr. Eggar : The details of the price support arrangements differ from order to order, and from technology to technology. However, for municipal waste incineration projects contracted by the regional electricity companies in fulfilment of the 1991 renewables order, a price of 6.55p/kWh will be paid from the due commissioning date until 1998. Assuming an electricity pool price of 3p/kWh, the premium above the pool price approximates to £17 per tonne of waste incinerated until 1998.
Mr. Austin-Walker : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what price per kWh is currently paid by regional electricity companies for electricity generated from (a) coal and (b) municipal waste.
Mr. Eggar : The terms of contracts are a commercial matter for the companies concerned.
Mr. Austin-Walker : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what estimate he has made of the quantity of electricity that may be generated from waste to energy incineration projects by the year 2000 ; and what quantity of coal is needed to generate an equivalent amount.
Mr. Eggar : No firm estimates have been produced of the capacity of electricity generation plant likely to be generated from waste to energy incineration projects by the year 2000. However, if all the domestic waste incineration projects contracted under the first two rounds of the non- fossil fuel obligation came to fruition, the total capacity in place would be over 300 MW. This capacity would generate approximately the same amount of electricity per year as could be generated from 1 million tonnes of coal.
Electricity
Mr. Austin-Walker : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will estimate the cost to the coal industry of the subsidy given through the non-fossil fuel obligation for electricity generated by (a) nuclear power, (b) waste incineration and (c) renewables, including wind, wave, tide and solar power.
Column 257
Mr. Eggar : The above-market element of the price paid to generators contracted under the non-fossil fuel obligation is financed through a fossil fuel levy paid by electricity consumers.
Car Advertisements
Mr. Llwyd : To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will introduce new guidelines for the Advertising Standards Agency limiting references to engine performance and speed acceleration in car advertisements.
Mr. Leigh : The Advertising Standards Authority requires that all advertisements should be legal, decent, honest and truthful and should conform to its British code of advertising practice. The Advertising Standards Authority already monitors car advertisements for claims relating to speed, power, acceleration and performance. Its April 1992 survey confirmed an overall improvement in compliance with British code of advertising practice of car performance advertisements.
The Advertising Standards Authority will investigate any written complaint about advertisements, and if the hon. Gentleman has details of any particular advertisement, I suggest that he contact the Advertising Standards Authority direct.
The British code of advertising practice is due to be substantially reviewed early next year. Although the terms of reference for that revision have yet to be decided, the Advertising Standards Authority says that they are likely to be wide ranging.
Oil and Gas
Mr. Ancram : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what measures he is taking to reduce the burden of regulation on United Kingdom oil and gas field development and production ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Eggar : On 22 October I published the report of a recent scrutiny by my Department which recommended a number of measures to reduce the burden of regulation in this area. A copy of the report was placed in the Library of the House. I will be implementing the changed procedures recommended in the report in full. They have been welcomed by the oil and gas industry.
Debt Payments
Mr. Fatchett : To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 18 November, Official Report, column 225, on late payments to small businesses, what is the value of his Department's financial support for the pilot prompt payment initiatives ; and if he will list the three trade associations involved in the initiatives.
Mr. Leigh : The three trade associations contracted for the prompt payment initiatives are :
The Mechanical and Metal Trades Confederation
Walsall Chamber of Commerce and Industry
The Federation of Master Builders
Funding will be met as required, subject to a maximum spend by the Department of £90,000.
Column 258
German Coal Industry
Mr. Michael Brown : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has made to the EC about subsidies paid by Germany to the German coal industry ; and what EC rules and conditions apply to them.
Mr. Eggar : We have made representations to the Commission about contract arrangements in Germany which could have the effect of excluding other Community producers, including British producers. All aids by member states to their coal industries must be approved by the Commission within the terms of decision 2064/86/ECSC.
Nuclear Power Stations
Mr. Hardy : To ask the President of the Board of Trade what separate provision Nuclear Electric has made for decommissioning of nuclear power stations.
Mr. Eggar : Nuclear Electric's 1991-92 report and accounts show that the company's balance sheet at31 March 1992 contained total nuclear provisions of £9,883 million. Of that total, some £1,699 million represented provisions in respect of the decommissioning of the company's nuclear power stations.
Civil Servants
Mr. Raymond S. Robertson : To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many civil servants are currently employed by his Department (a) in London, (b) in Scotland and (c) elsewhere.
Mr. Eggar : The information is as follows. Figures relate to staff in post on 1 October 1992--part-time staff are counted as half.
|Number
London |7,030
Scotland |525
Elsewhere |4,405
Collaborative R&D Projects
Dr. Moonie : To ask the President of the Board of Trade (1) if he will list the name of each company which received an award from his Department under the LINK scheme, the programme area of each award granted and its value, in each year since 1990-91 ;
(2) if he will list the name of each company which received an award from his Department under the small firms merit award for research and technology scheme, the project title of each award granted and its value, in each year since 1990-91 ;
(3) if he will list the title of each advanced technology programme, the value of each programme and the names of each organisation involved in the programmes, in each year since 1990-91 ;
(4) if he will list the name of each company which received an award from his Department under the EUREKA programme, the project title of each award granted and its value, in each financial year since 1990-91 ;
(5) if he will list the name of each company which received an award from his Department under the support for products under research scheme, the project title or process name of each award granted and its value, in each year since 1990-91.
Column 259
Mr. Leigh [holding answer 1 December 1992] : It is not the normal practice of the Department of Trade and Industry to publish names of recipients of grants for collaborative research and development projects. Such information is treated as
commercial-in-confidence. However, under the SMART competition and the support for products under research--SPUR--scheme, companies specifically agree to disclosure of their names, and in the case of SPUR they also agree to disclosure of the value of the grants. Recipients of grant offers under SMART and SPUR are listed, with grant values in the case of SPUR. For LINK and advanced technology programmes the names of programmes are given, together with the value of grant offers made by financial year.
