Mr. Wallace: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is her policy regarding the location of the job vacancy
display boards in libraries, community centres and post offices in Scotland; and what financial contribution has been made by each
unitary authority in Scotland towards this service in each of the last three years. [3700]
Mr. Forth: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its chief
executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Mike Fogden to Mr. James Wallace, dated 12 November 1996:
The Secretary of State for Education and Employment has asked me to reply to your question about the policy on the location of job
vacancy display boards in libraries, community centres and post offices in Scotland; and what financial contribution has been made
by each unitary local authority in Scotland towards this service in each of the last 3 years. This is something which falls within
the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency.
Through its network of local Jobcentres, The Employment Service in Scotland regularly reviews the provision of job vacancy display
boards to libraries, community centres and post offices according to the needs and availability of appropriate venues. The provision
of such display boards depends on the local labour market covered and the need to ensure that a system can be put in place to keep
vacancies on display up to date. Local authorities do not make a financial contribution to this service.
I hope this is helpful.

Sir Patrick Cormack: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what additional resources she plans to make available to
the British museum to compensate for the sum paid by the British library as a contribution to the running costs of the Bloomsbury
site. [2805]
Mr. Sproat: The Government have already provided some additional resources to the British museum. In November 1993, the then
Secretary of State, the right hon. Member for City of London and Westminster, South (Mr. Brooke), announced that the Government
would provide the British museum with an additional £1 million per annum from 1996-97 onwards, in recognition of the consequences of
the departure of the British library from Bloomsbury.
The Government are considering the museum's case for funding most carefully. Grant in aid allocations will be announced immediately
after the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Budget statement.

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what has been the total number of voluntary and compulsory
redundancies at each of the branches of the British library in the last five years. [460]

employees of the British library accepted the terms of a voluntary redundancy programme which was offered in March 1996, 13 of whom
have already left the library's employment and a further 12 of whom will do so during the remainder of the present financial year.

Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what is her estimate of the proportion of internationally
available scientific literature and patent collections that is available in conditions of open access at each of the British
library's reading rooms. [459]
Mr. Sproat: The British library's science reference and information service acquires some 1 million patent specifications annually,
which it estimates to constitute some 99 per cent. of the world's published output of such specifications. Sixty-one per cent. of
the material held by the science reference and information service in this category is available either on open access, or is
accessible to those users holding a vault pass. Of the total estimated 81,000 scientific periodicals published world-wide, the
British library estimates that the science reference and information service currently receives 20,000 research titles. Material in
English published during the last 10 years, and material published in other languages during the last two to three years, is held on
open access, representing some 26 per cent. of the total research periodicals held by the science reference and information service.
It is not possible to estimate the total number of scientific monographs published throughout the world. The science reference and
information service receives some 4,500 new scientific monograph titles at research level published in the UK each year through
legal deposit, and acquires foreign titles in line with the acquisition funds which are available.
