Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children are fundamental duties for maintained nursery schools and private and independent nurseries. Providers are required to comply with local child protection procedures and to have a written statement of the arrangements in place for the protection of children. The statement must state staff responsibilities for child protection and include procedures to be followed in the event of allegations being made against a member of staff or volunteer. The statement should be based on the procedures laid out in the Government booklet ““What to do if You're Worried a Child Is Being Abused—Summary””. This booklet lays out clearly the circumstances when information about child abuse should be passed on to the relevant authorities in confidence.

All great whale species are included in the moratorium on commercial whaling introduced by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1985–86. The Government strongly support the retention of the IWC moratorium. Scientific research whaling, which is permitted under the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, is not covered by the moratorium. The Southern Ocean Sanctuary was established by the IWC in 1994 as a protected area for whales.Commercial whaling in the waters of the 200-nautical mile Maritime Zone of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is prohibited by the Fisheries (Conservation and Management) Ordinance 2000, as amended.

South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are accounted together as they are one territory.The current cost of preventing illegal fishing is about £2 million per annum. This figure consists of the cost of operating the fishery patrol vessel and other surveillance activity.The cost of maintaining sustainable fisheries is just under £2 million per annum. This figure includes £1 million to finance the British Antarctic Survey Fisheries Research Laboratory and support services at King Edward Point, a cost which is shared equally between the South Georgia Government and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The remainder is expended on other fisheries research and a fisheries observer programme.Thus the current annual expenditure on fisheries research, protection and management is nearly £4 million, excluding a significant proportion of the salaries paid to the permanent staff of the South Georgia Government, much of whose time is devoted to fisheries management.This compares to a total income from fishing licences of £3,101,890.

The Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services (ICSTIS) has put in place a prior permission scheme for Premium Rate diallers. This makes it possible to assess the dialler software to be used for proposed services, and if appropriate to prohibit their release. The independent regulator for electronic communications, the Office of Communications (Ofcom), is currently consulting on extending this scheme to enable ICSTIS to take action against any rogue dialler irrespective of the telephone number or call charge used. Implementing a recommendation from Ofcom's Report into the Regulation of Premium Rate Services, this Department has just increased the maximum fine for breaches of the ICSTIS Code, and ICSTIS intends to review its sanctions policy early in 2006. ICSTIS has also put in place a key recommendation from the report to slow the money-flow to those that abuse the premium rate services charging mechanism. This obliges telecoms companies not to make payments to premium rate service providers for at least 30 days after calls have been made. This gives ICSTIS more time to identify breaches of its Code and enables ICSTIS to direct telecoms companies to withhold funds pending the outcome of investigations.As ICSTIS has not had any complaints since May, Premium Media Communications may have withdrawn from the UK dialler market. However ICSTIS plans to write to this company shortly to give it notice of the withdrawal of its licence to operate diallers. This means that no phone company can give Premium Media Communications premium rate numbers for dialler services.The Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman (Otelo) is the appropriate body to make representations to BT on consumer disputes about telephone charges due to rogue dialling, and regularly contacts BT about specific cases.

I am aware that there is concern about the placement of certain magazines and newspapers that contain sexually explicit material in retail stores and their possible availability to children.A combination of legislative and self-regulatory measures exist to protect the public: the Obscene Publications Act 1959 and the Indecent Displays (Control) Act 1981 are designed to protect children and others from exposure to inappropriate material. In addition, a voluntary code of practice, issued by the National Federation of Retail Newsagents (NFRN) encourages retailers to display pornographic magazines on the top shelf and not to sell them to people under 18.However, I have asked my officials to raise this matter with colleagues from other Departments, the NFRN and others to ensure that the interests of children are properly safeguarded in this respect.

My Lords, I wonder whether the Minister remembers when banks issued cards with the legend, "Access takes the waiting out of wanting"? Is he prepared to continue to justify leading some of the more vulnerable people in our society into overspending when there are means, which would not wholly reduce the unbridled competition that he so clearly desires, that could be put into effect?

My Lords, it is important that lenders behave responsibly when lending. Action has been taken to make certain that that happens. APACS is looking at ways to ensure that lenders adhere to the banking code and its best practice guidelines stop lenders lending to vulnerable people by sharing data and so on. That seems to be the way that we should deal with this issue, rather than trying to specify all the details on lending, because once one does that, one has to specify everything. If one hole is stopped up by, say, putting a cap on interest, it simply leads to action in other areas and that would not only stifle competition but would also lead to incredible bureaucracy.

My Lords, it is difficult for the Government to get into the position of trying to specify all the terms under which money is lent because that is likely to stifle competition and consumer choice. Our concern is to make certain that there is real transparency and we have brought in regulations to do that.
Noble Lords will also be aware that the Competition Commission inquiry into store cards has put forward some ideas about action that might be taken including an APR warning notice, where APR exceeds a specified threshold, but that is just one of their initial suggestions.

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. Would he be prepared to look particularly at store cards that induce customers to believe that there is an interest-free credit period but do not say, except in the smallest of print—which I cannot read—that this only applies if the entire amount borrowed is paid off? This can result in customers paying interest as high as an APR of 70 to 80 per cent on the outstanding sum. Would the Minister not agree that this is scandalous and very unfair, and that some financial health warning, similar to the health warnings on tobacco packages, should clearly be written on application forms for this type of credit card?

300,000 of the leaflets were printed earlier this year, and distributed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). A further 500,000 have recently been printed and are being distributed through local Criminal Justice Boards and Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships. In addition, the leaflet is available through the CPS and ACPO websites, with links on other websites including the Home Office website. Early informal feedback has been largely encouraging and the number of copies sought has been welcome.
