Mr. Meacher: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what resources have been committed each year since 1979 by his Department to the development of environmental information software and computer-based environmental research; and what steps have been taken to disseminate this information. [40481] Mr. Clappison: The Department makes information about the environment and environmental research publicly available via a wide range of databases and more recently the Internet. Details on each system have not been collated centrally and it would entail disproportionate cost to provide the annual resource estimates requested. Guidance on the use of systems is available to the public from the Department's library. They include: The RESLINE database containing details of the Department's research. Details of all Departmental publications in the British Library BLAISE database. Data supplied to the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council for inclusion on the UK FOCUS and AGREP databases. The BRIX and FLAIR databases produced by the Building Research Establishment in which environmental matters form a significant part. The Department's World Wide Web home page (http://www.open.gov.doe/) on the Internet which includes UK environmental statistics based on those published in the Department's annual `Digest of Environmental Statistics', `Air Quality Information', and the `Air Quality Archive'. Systems under development include the European information and observation network--EIONET--which will connect member states to the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen and gather information on the state of the environment at the European level.

Ms Lynne: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 27 June, Official Report, columns 228-29, on the Child Support Agency computer system, if he will (a) provide a definition of nationally sensitive or locally sensitive cases and (b) set out the procedures that are followed in designating a case as either nationally or locally sensitive.[37114] Mr. Mitchell: The administration of the Child Support agency is a matter for the chief executive, Miss Ann Chant. She will write to the hon. Member. Letter from Miss Ann Chant to Ms Liz Lynne, dated 16 July 1996: I am replying to the your Parliamentary Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security about the Child Support Agency Computer System. A case is considered nationally sensitive if it involves a VIP; any person so deemed for security reasons; or a transsexual. Decisions on whether a case is to be marked nationally sensitive are made by a section of the Contributions Agency (CA). This classification is then applied to all the Department's computer systems. At present a case is considered locally sensitive if it involves a member of staff, their partner or a relative of either party; a local dignitary; or any person who asks for their case to be treated as sensitive. These criteria have been reviewed recently and the revised procedures are soon to be issued. The revised instructions state that a case should be regarded as locally sensitive if the Parent With Care (PWC) or Absent Parent (AP) is employed by CSA; a close relative (mother, father, brother or sister) of the PWC or AP is employed by CSA; a member of staff has an interest in a case; or the PWC or AP has requested the case to be made sensitive and the manager considers the request to be valid. The classification applies only on the Child Support Computer System (CSCS). You also asked about the procedures followed in classifying cases as sensitive. Each Child Support Agency Centre (CSAC) has a nominated manger who is the focal point for sensitive cases. If a case is identified as being potentially nationally sensitive, the Manager contacts the appropriate section in CA. If CA accepts the case as nationally sensitive all the Department's computer system are annotated accordingly. The nominated manager maintains a control record showing the case details, and all requests to have access to them. All papers are locked away in accommodation separate from the non-sensitive cases. The same procedures are followed for cases designated as locally sensitive except that the decision on classification is made by a CSA manager and the classification is annotated only on the CSCS, not the other Departmental computer system. I hope this is helpful.
