Mr. Nigel Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment his Department has made of the number of man-hours per
year it will take local authority social services departments to collect and process the core data set of information on children
and families required by the draft Children's Social Services Core Information Requirements Data Model. [140520]
Mr. Hutton: The children's social services core information requirements do not impose new tasks on councils. They were developed
collaboratively with representative local authorities and published for consultation on 18 October. They are the Department's
response to long-standing requests from local authority social services that a "minimum data set" for children's services be mapped
and published. The core requirements comprise statistical information collected by central Government and the additional information
that local authorities need themselves to plan and manage children's social service effectively. Most authorities do already collect
the bulk of the specified information, either routinely or as and when required. The requirements are intended to assist local
authorities in their negotiations with software suppliers to commission information systems that best suit their needs and promote
the greatest possible efficiency in children's services.

Mr. Anthony D. Wright: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on progress on the Tornado GR4 Mid Life
Update. [140561]
Dr. Moonie: The integration of TIALD on to the Tornado GR4, as anticipated, achieved a Military Aircraft Release in July and is
being used in training by our front-line crews.
As experience has increased in using the new software, a number of reliability problems have been encountered with integration of
the software supporting the TIALD pod with the Tornado GR4's computer. These problems are being urgently addressed by the
contractor, who is working on a new release of software expected early next year. We are, therefore, delaying plans to deploy the
GR4 operationally. The contractor, supported by MOD, has embarked upon an urgent investigation into the cause of the current
problems and will report progress shortly. In the meantime, Tornado GR1, Jaguar and Harrier GR7 aircraft will continue to provide
the operational capability.

Mr. Webb: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will estimate the number of incomplete national insurance records
on the NIRS2 computer system for the financial year 1997-98; and if he will make a statement on the implications of these incomplete
records on the benefit and pension entitlements of those effected. [137694]
Dawn Primarolo: I have been asked to reply.
At the end of each year we receive contributions details for approximately 50 million individual employees, some of whom have had
several jobs during the year. We have updated over 98 per cent. of individual records for which we have received 1997-98 details.
Of the remaining two per cent., in the majority of cases the information we have received is incomplete, or in a format that we
cannot use to update the individual record. This is a feature of any year and we are continuing to work with employers to put this
right. The remaining details are currently being entered into NIRS2.
By the end of November we estimate that we will have updated over 99 per cent. of records on NIRS2 for which we have received
1997-98 contributions details.
The effect on an individual's benefit or pension entitlement of their 1997-98 National Insurance contribution record being
incomplete varies from case to case.

Mr. Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 31 October 2000, Official Report, columns
346-47W, what conclusions the Benefits Agency internal audit came to regarding the role of EDS in the duplication of income support
payments on 17 and 18 January. [138338]
Mr. Rooker: The administration of benefit payments is a matter for Alexis Cleveland the Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency. She
will write to my right hon. Friend.
Letter from Alexis Cleveland to Mr. Frank Field, dated 17 November 2000:
The Secretary of State for Social Security has asked me to respond to your Parliamentary Question asking what conclusions the
Benefits Agency (BA) internal audit came to regarding the role of EDS in the duplication of income support payments on 17th and 18th
January.
The report concluded that responsibility for the error lay with DSS Information Technology Services Group (ITSG), Benefits Agency
(BA) and EDS. The report did not apportion levels of responsibility; it identified errors on the part of all parties. The report
concluded: `Following a technical problem, incorrect (re-start) action by ITSG led to the creation of the £10.5m Income Support file
with an incomplete number of records. The EDS automated system to transfer files to BACS had limited in-built validation and
reconciliation checks and this allowed the £10.5m file to be forwarded to BACS . . . Reconciliation checks undertaken within the BA
identified a problem but the incident handling and escalation procedures were inadequate'.
As mentioned in my response on 30 October, Official Report columns 346-347, the report contained a series of thirteen
recommendations. EDS is a key stakeholder, working with DSS in the programme of activity to implement these recommendations, which
include improvements to validation and reconciliation checks to prevent a reoccurrence of the original incident. My previous
response provided more detail.
I hope this additional information is helpful.

Mr. Jenkin: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list the incidents of NATS
software and systems failure since 31 July 2000, indicating the duration and severity of their effects. [137528]
Mr. Mullin: The Flight Data Processing System (FDPS) at West Drayton has failed three times since 31 July. On none of these
occasions was safety impaired. These failures were:
(i) On 12 August 2000, FDPS was suspended for one hour and thirteen minutes following the rejection of an incorrect flight plan.
This resulted in the imposition of short term restrictions which necessitated some flights being held at London airports;
(ii) On 3 November 2000, FDPS was suspended for 17 minutes following the rejection of a flight plan. This resulted in six aircraft
being delayed by 30 minutes; and
(iii) On 4 November 2000, controllers noted FDPS was failing to print accurate data strips for flights using Stansted. A decision
was taken to revert to a previous version of the software known to be free of faults. This took 2 hours and 10 minutes to install
successfully and during this period aircraft experienced delays of up to one hour.
NATS is planning to correct the failure in the software which caused the printing error as soon as possible. In spite of these
failures, FDPS continues to perform well with both the performance and robustness of the system having been enhanced since the major
failure on 17 June.
