Union and (b) (i) England, (ii) Wales, (iii) Scotland and (iv) Northern Ireland the current milk quota (1) in tonnes and (2) per

Mr. Baldry: The table shows the milk quota allocated to each member state in the 1995-96 quota year, its population in 1995 and
quota per head. The table also includes quota registered to producers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland which has
been used to determine the quota per head in these countries.

Mr. Beggs: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what records of chemicals used or stored for industrial purposes are
held by the Department of the Environment for use when investigating the cause of pollution incidents affecting watercourses.
[18269]
Mr. Moss: Responsibility for the subject in question has been delegated to the Environment and Heritage Service under its chief
executive, Mr. Robert C. Martin. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Robert C. Martin to Mr. Roy Beggs, dated 6 March 1997:
As Chief Executive of Environment and Heritage Service (EHS), I am responsible for all operational aspects of the Department of the
Environment for Northern Ireland's environmental policies.
I am therefore responding to the Parliamentary Question which you put down in the House of Commons on 28 February 1997 "to ask the
Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what records of chemicals used or stored for industrial purposes are held by DOE (NI) for
use when investigating the cause of pollution incidents affecting watercourses."
The Chief Executive of this Department's Water Service has also contributed to this reply.
Within the United Kingdom the Government is committed to minimising any escape to water of those chemicals identified as especially
hazardous, more commonly referred to as Red List substances. In Northern Ireland, my service is currently aware of 188 premises
which use or store Red List substances and a detailed record is held for each sites. These records include Information on each
substance, quantities stored, the purpose for which they are used and the measures in place to prevent pollution of waterways.
EHS also hold records of all agrochemical retailers in Northern Ireland registered under the BASIS agrochemical scheme and regularly
inspects their stores to ensure that they pose a minimal water pollution risk. BASIS, as a voluntary scheme managed by the
agrochemical manufacturers, which sets stringent standards for pollution prevention and general safety.
All industries which discharge either effluent to the public sewer or treated effluent to a watercourse must have the consent of
this Department. In either case, strict limits are set on the type and maximum concentration of materials which can be discharged.
The application form for Water Act consent requires that chemicals stored on premises are listed.
The Water Service has confirmed that they maintain records of all chemicals used in the course of its functional work and stored on
its premises. The only other information held by Water Service about chemicals used or stored in premises is in respect of those
premises where a discharge to a public sewerage network is subject to the consent of the Department, through the system of trade
effluent consents. Those making application for such a consent are required to provide details of whatever chemicals are being used
for any industrial process being conducted on their premises.
I trust you will find this reply helpful.

Sir Teddy Taylor: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if the European Union has any entitlement to exercise control or
jurisdiction over the organisation of oil development and exploration and the disposal of the oil from United Kingdom waters; and if
he will make a statement. [18586]
Mr. Page: The exploration for and development of the UK's oil and gas resources continues to be carried out under licences issued by
the UK Government. The UK's licensing regime is required to conform with the provisions of the hydrocarbons licensing directive of
1994, which sets out common rules relating to the procedures for granting authorisations for the exploration and production of oil
and gas. However, that directive also reaffirms the important principle that
"Member States have sovereignty and sovereign rights over hydrocarbon resources on their territories".

cash crop production for export; and what are these figures as a percentage of the total aid programme in each year since 1979.
[18020]
Dr. Liam Fox: ODA does not maintain data covering the specific information on food production and cash crop production in the form
requested for the period 1979 to 1986. It would, therefore, not be possible to provide a detailed answer for the period 1979 to 1986
without disproportionate cost. However, from 1987-88 onwards the information requested as a percentage of the total bilateral aid
programme is contained in the table.
