Mr. Andrew George: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what consultation was carried out regarding the accessibility of the
design of the England and Wales Census 2001 forms for visually impaired and deafblind people; [141548]
(2) if Census 2001 returns in England and Wales from blind, partially sighted and deafblind people will be accepted if they are
submitted in alternative formats, with particular reference to (a) large print, (b) Braille, (c) disc, (d) audio-tape and (e)
e-mail; [141550]
(3) what arrangements are in place to provide one-to-one assistance to visually impaired and deafblind people with completion of
Census 2001 forms in England and Wales; [141551]
(4) what provision has been made for Census 2001 enumerators in England and Wales to receive specific visual impairment and
deafblind awareness training; [141552]
(5) what provision has been made for Census 2001 forms in England and Wales and accompanying information to be made available to
blind, partially sighted and deafblind people in accessible formats, with particular reference to (a) Braille, (b) large print, (c)
disc and (d) audio-tape. [141549]
Miss Melanie Johnson: [holding answer 12 December 2000]: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National
Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Andrew George, dated 18 December 2000:
As National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales I have been asked to reply to your recent questions concerning
provisions in the 2001 Census for those who are visually impaired or deafblined (141549-52).
An important new initiative for the 2001 Census is the Community Liaison Programme, through which the Office for National Statistics
(ONS) Census staff have consulted and work with community liaison groups and national organisations specifically to assist those who
would find the completion of the Census questionnaire difficult. A great deal of consultation has already taken place with several
organisations including the Royal National Institute for the Blind, Help the Aged, the Royal Association for Disability and
Rehabilitation and the Royal National Institute for the Deaf to ensure that we meet the needs of disabled people, including visually
impaired and deafblind people.
General information about the Census will be available in leaflets in Braille, and in a large print version. The questions and
instructions from the official Census form in Braille will be available on request. An audio tape explaining the Census and the
questions is expected to be available February 2001. The Census web site will feature disability awareness issues and the text phone
Helpline for the deaf will be operating from 1 April 2001.
We do not propose to provide the Census forms themselves in Braille or in large print version since the Census is being processed
using scanning and image recognition technologies which cannot accommodate forms other than in the standard format. Help in
completing the form will, however, be provided by Census enumerators, on a one-to-one basis if necessary, and the blind will be able
to provide their Census information by telephone to the Census Helpline or via e-mail using the Braille leaflet as a guide to the
questions.
Census Area Managers have received specialist training presented by external expert in disability awareness and this training is
being cascaded down to all members of the field force. A guide for all the field staff which includes disability awareness issues is
also being produced.

Mr. Gareth Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement as to the proposed census form for Wales.
[142379]
Mr. Paul Murphy: The Government have made an unprecedented commitment to ensuring a successful census in Wales. Anyone who writes
that they are Welsh in the ethnic identity section of the census form will be counted as such. Unlike a simple tick box this will
identify those Welsh people who are from black, asian or other backgrounds. We are explicitly recognising the diversity of those who
regard themselves as Welsh and who have other ethnic backgrounds.
As with every census there will be an advertising campaign to make sure that everyone fills the forms in. But in Wales there will be
additional emphasis on making sure that people are aware that they can state that they are Welsh.
A question on the country of birth will enable people to indicate that they were born in Wales and respondents will be asked whether
they can understand, speak, read or write in the Welsh language.
An expanded and enhanced Labour Force Survey will ask questions about Welsh identity for the first time, and the Office for National
Statistics has pledged to publish a special report based on these findings, combined with information from the census.

Mr. Gareth Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the First Secretary of the National
Assembly for Wales on the proposed census form for Wales. [142380]
Mr. Paul Murphy: I have regular discussions with the First Secretary about a range of issues, including the 2001 census.
As the census informs billions of pounds of spending in Wales, whether through the Welsh Block grant, allocations to police or fire
services, or overall measures of economic performance and thus economic aid, we have discussed how any disruption of the census,
either through non co-operation or eleventh hour changes to its format, runs the risk of losing precious resources for Wales.

Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many asylum application forms submitted in each month since
1 January have been returned because the applicant provided no proper address; and if he will make a statement. [142435]
Mrs. Roche: Since 31 August, postal applications submitted without the full address of the applicant have been returned with a
request for the address to be given. This measure was introduced to ensure that basic information about the applicant was available
to help deter fraudulent or multiple applications. The application is recorded once the address has been provided, except for
applicants living in London who are first required to come to Croydon for screening. Reliable information on the number of
applications returned for the address to be provided is not available, but is estimated to be about 450 a month on average.

Mr. Breed: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the length of the IACS form filled
in by farmers; and if he will make a statement. [140405]
Ms Quin: The report of the IACS and Inspections Red Tape Working Group found that: In general the (IACS) forms and guidance notes
(issued in other member states) are of a similar level of complexity . . . with the exception of the Republic of Ireland.
The Government have listened to industry concerns about the volume of red tape which farmers have to face, and we are taking steps
to review the IACS forms and guidance, in the light of the Group's recommendations about the readability, familiarity and appearance
of the IACS scheme literature, so as to achieve not only simpler English and clearer communication, but also a common format with
other MAFF documentation. Consultation with industry during the drafting stages remains a key feature. From 2001, we plan to make it
possible for all farmers submitting claims in England to complete and submit the IACS form electronically. These `intelligent' forms
will both save time for farmers, and also lessen the possibility of making inadvertent errors, since inconsistencies will be
highlighted and totals calculated automatically.

Mr. Webb: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if pensioners were involved in designing the claim form for the Minimum
Income Guarantee. [140421]
Mr. Rooker: The Minimum Income Guarantee claim form, SP1, has evolved from a series of postal claim forms introduced in the early
1980s. Pensioners have expressed their views on this form to Ministers on several occasions during the eleven "Listening to Older
People" events last year and this has prompted us to look at the design again. We will ensure that pensioners will be fully involved
in the design of future forms.
