Tony Lloyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the
representations she has received from farming interest groups concerning the review of subsidies to farming. [139849]
Alun Michael: We have received responses from a wide range of stakeholders to the public consultation on the options available to
member states under the agreement on reforming the common agricultural policy (CAP). There was close to unanimous support for our
decision to decouple subsidy fully in England from 2005. The biggest issue to emerge from the consultation was whether to go for an
historic or flat rate basis for the single farm payment and responses were divided on this. We are looking carefully at the
responses to the consultation and will be making a decision soon on the model for the single farm payment.

registration services; and what plans he has to retrain registrars for their new remote role; [140260]
(2) what procedures will be put in place to prevent fraud after the move to remote civil registration; [140261]
(3) what plans he has to compensate local authorities for any funding shortfall arising from the move to remote civil registration;
[140262]
(4) what assessment has been made of the risk of competition between local authorities following a move to remote registration.
[140263]
Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Drew dated 20 November 2003:
As Registrar General for England and Wales, I have been asked to reply to your four recent questions on the move to remote civil
registration. (140260, 140262, 140263, 140264)
In January 2002, the White Paper `Civil Registration: Vital Change' was published which set out the Government's intention to reform
the civil registration service. The White Paper offers the public a choice in how to register births and deaths in person (at any
Register Office), by telephone or via the internet.
These proposals appear in more detail in the consultation document `Civil Registration: Delivering Vital Change' which was published
in July 2003. The document can be downloaded from the General Register Office website at: http://www.
statistics.gov.uk/registration/whitepaper/default.asp
The document is the first stage in the use of the order-making powers of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001. This is being used to bring
about the legislative changes that are needed to implement the White Paper reforms. The consultation period ended on 24 October.
Currently the responses are being analysed.
It would be inappropriate at this stage to comment on the final shape of the proposals to be included in the Regulatory Reform
Order. Issues such as funding, retraining and security are being fully considered during the passage of the civil registration
regulatory reform order and, in the event of legislation change, prior to implementation.

Mr. Pike: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent discussions he has had on modern apprenticeships; what
plans he has to expand Government aided apprenticeships; and if he will make a statement. [139444]
Mr. Ivan Lewis: My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and his ministerial colleagues have regular meetings with numerous
organisations and agencies to discuss modern apprenticeship developments. The Secretary of State has agreed to take part in a panel
discussion at the Confederation of British Industry conference to address skills issues including modern apprenticeships. There are
plans for Sir Roy Gardner, Chair of the Modern Apprenticeship Task Force, to feed back the task force's interim findings to the
Secretary of State and myself.
The Government are wholly behind modern apprenticeships as a high quality work-based learning option for young people. We are fully
committed to implementing the reforms recommended by the Modern Apprenticeships Advisory Committee under Sir John Cassels, and more
recent skills strategy announcements. We have adopted a PSA target for 2004 of 28 per cent. of young people entering a modern
apprenticeship before the age of 22. We have made sufficient resources available to ensure that we meet this target and are on
course to achieve it.

Mr. Leslie: Since August 2003, five officials have been working on the House of Lords reform programme. It is estimated that the
final cost for this year will be around £227,000.
The cost of the unit for the last full financial year was £181,000 (although at that time fewer officials were working on House of
Lords reform and they were also engaged on other duties within the Department).
