Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans she has to establish a taskforce to help local authorities which may use private finance initiatives to develop waste management infrastructure and facilities. [198231] Mr. Morley: The private finance initiative is one of the main mechanisms through which local government funds investment in value for money waste services. In 2003, Defra set up a Waste Implementation Programme (WIP) to facilitate improved local authority performance, boost the take up of wider options for waste management and to co-ordinate funding more effectively. Action taken by WIP has already led to an increase in the number of waste PFI projects coming forward, including through close working with local authorities, the waste industry and the public-private partnerships programme (the 4Ps). A new Waste Management Procurement Pack has been developed by the 4Ps to provide specific assistance to local authorities in England with the procurement of waste management projects through the PFI--strongly supported by Defra, Partnerships UK and the Waste and Resources Action Programme. This guidance, which all local authorities can use, will enable the initial delivery of projects to a higher standard, reduce the time taken for them to reach contract signature, and act as a guide and invaluable tool throughout the whole procurement process. The WIP programme is committed to ensuring that ongoing support is made available to local authorities to maintain the healthy levels of good quality potential waste PFI projects that we are currently seeing. The need for further specific support measures is currently under consideration.

Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what action he is taking to (a) monitor and (b) improve provision of facilities for sports and physical recreation for pupils with disabilities who attend mainstream schools. [197765] Margaret Hodge: All schools have a duty under Part 4 of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)1995 prepare an accessibility plan for increasing over time the accessibility of schools to disabled pupils. The plan is expected to cover increasing access to the curriculum (including PE and sport) and the physical environment of the school, so that disabled pupils can take advantage of education and associated services. Ofsted monitors how schools are carrying out the planning duties as part of their ongoing inspections of schools. In the first planning period 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2006, some £300 million is being made available to local education authorities in England through the Schools Access Initiative for projects to improve the accessibility of mainstream schools to disabled pupils. In 2003, DfES published a training CD-ROM "Success For All". This features a series of filmed case studies showing how teachers in mainstream and special schools include pupils with a range of disabilities in PE and sport. The disc offers lesson plans and points users to relevant resources. Our PE, School Sport and Club Links Strategy aims to increase the numbers of 5 to 16-year-olds who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport and makes clear that all children, including disabled children should be able to participate.

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many schools in Hendon (a) had outside toilets, (b) did not have computer suites and (c) did not have interactive whiteboards (i) at 1 May 1997 and (ii) at the latest date for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [197597] Mr. Miliband: The only available information relates to interactive whiteboards and is shown in the table. Percentage of schools with electronic interactive whiteboards in England--Position at 31 March each year _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 2002 2003 12004 Maintained primary schools 28 48 63 Maintained secondary schools 65 82 92 Maintained special schools 35 53 71 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 Provisional. Source: ICT in Schools Survey The increased numbers of schools with interactive whiteboards demonstrate the priority that schools are giving to this technology, which research shows can improve the pace of lessons and increase pupil motivation. The latest information on information and communications technology in schools was published in Statistical First Release 27/2004 "Survey of Information and Communications Technology in Schools 2004", which is available on the Department's website www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/. My Department does not keep records of the numbers of outside toilets in schools. However, the Department ran a capital programme bidding round under New Deal for Schools to remove outdoor toilets and improve energy management over two years, 1998-99 and 1999-2000, at a cost of about £70 million. The programme replaced a large proportion of the outside toilets in England. It is our understanding that the majority of outside toilets in English schools were replaced by indoor provision as a result of this bidding round.
