Offences Against Businesses
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was (a) the total number of offences against businesses committed in England and Wales in 1991 and (b) the total loss incurred by businesses as a result of those offences.
Mr. Jack : The information is not collected centrally.
Fines
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he intends to take to ensure that all an individual's assets and income are taken into account by the court in assessing the level of unit fine under the Criminal Justice Act 1991.
Mr. Jack : The Criminal Justice Act 1991 already requires magistrates courts to take the whole of an individual's income, including income from assets, into account in assessing an offender's weekly disposable income for the purpose of determining the value of a unit
Column 509
in accordance with the provisions of section 18 of the Act, as well as such other information relating to an offender's means as appears to the court to be relevant. A specific exception is made for child benefit.Under section 20 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, a court may order a convicted person to provide the court with a statement of means. Failure to do so is an offence punishable by a fine of up to £1,000. Provision of false information or omission of any material fact is an offence punishable by a fine of up to £2,500.
Remand Prisoners (Escorts)
Mr. Mackinlay : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what circumstances police forces may charge health authorities or trusts to escort prisoners in custody on remand but who are, during their custody, in the care of health authorities or trusts ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Charles Wardle : The escorting of such patients is the responsibility of the health authority or trust concerned. Existing guidance makes it clear that they are free to seek police assistance with escorting if the circumstances appear to require this. Section 15 of the Police Act 1964 gives police authorities power to make charges for services which go beyond normal policing activity. We are currently reviewing guidance on this subject.
Pools Coupons
Mrs. Jane Kennedy : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate he has as to what proportion of pools clients prefer to use lucky numbers rather than skill in making their bets on pools coupons.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : No estimate has been made of the proportion of football pools clients who employ "lucky" numbers when making their selection on pools coupons. The fact remains, however, that the law requires the pools to take the form of a forecasting competition, in which there is an opportunity for clients who wish to do so to exercise skill and judgment in making their forecasts.
Remand Prisons
Mrs. Bridget Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the average length of time that women have been held on remand in prisons in England and Wales since 1985.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : The latest information is given in the table.

These figures are published annually in "Prison Statistics, England and Wales", chapter 2, table 2.1, of the volume for 1990, Cm 1800.
Mrs. Bridget Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many women are currently being held on remand in prisons (a) in England and Wales and (b) in London.
Mr. Peter Lloyd : The table shows how many unsentenced females were in prison service establishments on 19 January. Of these Holloway prison is the only establishment in London.

The numbers shown cover all females, both adults and young persons, remanded in custody by magistrates courts, committed for trial to the Crown court and convicted but not sentenced.
Mrs. Bridget Prentice : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of women held on remand in prisons in England and Wales since 1985 have been acquitted of the charges for which they were held in detention.
Mr. Jack : It is estimated that about 17 per cent. of females held in custody on remand since 1985 have subsequently been acquitted.
Police Custody
Mr. Ainger : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been kept overnight in police custody following being charged, before being released on unopposed conditional magistrates bail the following day in each of the Welsh police authority areas in 1991-92.

The accelerated promotion scheme for graduates, which offers places to young officers who are looking to rise rapidly to the higher ranks in the service, is also highly selective, with high standards.

Mr. Jack : The Government are seeking, in discussion with their European Community partners, to ensure that the directive makes proper allowance for the needs of charities and other data users, and does not go beyond the 1981 Council of Europe convention on data processing on which the Data Protection Act 1984 is based.

Mr. Alton : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many outstanding claims for compensation from victims of Nazi persecution are known to his Department.
Mr. Garel-Jones : No claim remains outstanding. There was a scheme between 1964-66, when a British tribunal disbursed £1 million to compensate victims of Nazi persecution held at concentration camps during the second world war. All cases were settled and the scheme closed in 1966. It is not now possible to reconsider cases nor to consider new claims.
Mr. Alton : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the claims for compensation by Mr. Ted Roberts and Mr. Arthur Thomas, held by the Nazis at Drancy.

The funds were fully disbursed and the scheme closed in 1966. Mr. Roberts's claim failed to meet the criteria and was turned down in 1964. Mr. Thomas made his claim known to the Department only recently. It is not now possible to admit new claims or to reconsider cases settled by the tribunal.

Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the nuclear proliferation implications of the planned stockpiling of military usable plutonium by Japan over the next decade.
Mr. Douglas Hogg : Japan, as a non-nuclear weapon state party to the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, has undertaken a formal binding commitment not to develop nuclear weapons and has concluded a fullscope safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency. We are satisfied that plutonium held by Japan will be covered by such safeguards, but we understand that it is Japan's intention to avoid the accumulation of stockpiles.

Kuwait
Mr. Hicks : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice his Department is currently giving to United Kingdom subjects working and living in Kuwait ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd : The current Foreign and Commonwealth Office consular travel advice for Kuwait is :
"In view of heightened tension in the area, British nationals visiting Kuwait should exercise caution. In particular they are strongly advised not to travel anywhere near the border with Iraq. It would be easy and very dangerous to cross inadvertently. Anyone who has to travel north of the Mutla Ridge should consult HM Consul, British Embasy, Kuwait City (Tel. 240 3334 6 or 240 3324 7) in advance.
British nationals travelling anywhere outside Kuwait City should take care, and let someone know where they are going. There are dangers from unexploded ordnance. Even where officially cleared, beaches and picnic spots should be avoided because of mines. Visitors are advised to register with the Embassy on arrival."
Nuclear Test Ban
Mr. Macdonald : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the resumption of negotiations towards a comprehensive test ban treaty is now considered to be in the United Kingdom's security interests ; and if he will make a statement.
Column 514
Mr. Garel-Jones : We have long made plain our support for the ultimate goal of a comprehensive test ban, but we have also emphasised our belief that this can be approached only on a step-by- step basis. In particular, we have drawn attention to the problems of verification, and have been actively involved in discussing these issues in the conference on disarmament, in Geneva.Iraq
Mr. Llew Smith : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which United Nations Security Council resolutions specifically authorised each of the allied coalition military attacks on Iraq in the current year, pursuant to chapter VII of the United Nations charter.
Mr. Hogg : The Security Council determined in its statements of 8 and 11 January that Iraq was in material breach of resolution 687 and its related resolutions, and warned Iraq that serious consequences would ensue from continued failure to comply with its obligations. Resolution 687 lays down the terms for the formal ceasefire between the coalition states and Iraq at the end of the hostilities mandated by the Security Council in resolution 678. These terms are binding in themselves but have also been specifically accepted by Iraq as a condition for the formal ceasefire to come into effect. In the light of Iraq's continued breaches of Security Council resolution 687 and thus of the ceasefire terms, and the repeated warnings given by the Security Council and members of the coalition, their forces were entitled to take necessary and proportionate action in order to ensure Iraqi compliance with those terms.
The purpose of the no-fly zones in Northern and Southern Iraq is to monitor compliance by Iraq with United Nations Security Council resolution 688 in areas in which there are circumstances of extreme humanitarian need. Iraq has been warned frequently not to interfere with allied aircraft in the zones. Such aircraft have the inherent right of self-defence against Iraqi threats to their safety. Attacks against Iraqi missile systems and associated command and control centres were necessary and proportionate responses in self-defence to
such threats.
Somalia
Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received of the talks between the different factions of southern Somalia ; and if he will list (a) the positive decisions reached and (b) the issues that remain to be resolved.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd [holding answer 19 January 1993] : We have received regular reports on the recent meeting of Somali factions in Addis Ababa. The factions have agreed in principle :
(i) on a cease fire ;
(ii) to hold a National Reconciliation Conference, probably on 15 March in Addis Ababa ;
(iii) on the establishment of an ad hoc committee to continue discussion, in particular over the participation and the agenda for reconciliation conference ;
(iv) on the disarmament of heavy weapons ;
(v) on the encampment of factional militias.
The agreement leaves key issues for discussion by an ad hoc committee. Conference attendance in particular is likely to be contentious. Implementation on the ground of the cease fire, disarmament and emcampment too will be a complex and difficult task.
Column 515
