Mrs. Gillan: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what contingency measures he has established against failures in millennium compliance in each emergency service. [19197] Mr. Straw: [holding answer 4 November 1997]: It is the responsibility of each police force and fire brigade to ensure that their information technology and communications systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO) is co-ordinating the police response to the millennium problem. PITO has issued a guide to the police which provides a blueprint for action and has also held two conferences this year to disseminate best practice. A national electronic police bulletin-board is regularly updated to provide on-going advice and guidance to forces. Forces are engaging their information technology (IT) suppliers to ensure their local systems will be complaint and are also writing to other organisations in their area, whose millennium compliance may be crucial to police operations, to seek assurance that those systems will be ready. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary is monitoring the progress of forces during its regular inspections. The Police National Computer, which is operated by PITO, will be compliant by early 1999. In the case of the fire service, discussions have been held with the relevant fire service committees and central guidance, in the form of a Home Office Circular, will be issued to brigades later this month. Her Majesty's Fire Service Inspectorate will also be monitoring progress within brigades. If, during their audit of IT systems, a force or brigade establishes that there is a problem which cannot, or is unlikely to be resolved before the millennium, it will be expected to establish contingency plans to ensure the continued integrity of its emergency service. I have placed a copy of the guidance issued by PITO in the Library. A copy of the Home Office circular to chief fire officers will also be placed in the Library as soon as it is published. The contingency arrangements made by the Coastguard Agency and the ambulance service are a matter for my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions and for Health respectively.

Mr. Wallace: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will publish the text of Coastguard Minute 20/96 sent to coastguard stations in July 1996 [18191] Ms Glenda Jackson: I have asked the Chief Executive of the Coastguard Agency, Mr. C. Harris to write to the hon. Member. Letter from C. J. Harris to Mr. James Wallace, dated 1 December 1997: The Secretary of State for Environment, Transport and the Regions has asked me to reply to your recent Question about Coastguard Minute 20/96. I enclose a copy of Coastguard Minute 20/96 "SAR situation reports (SITREPS) and morning press reports" as requested. HM Coastguard Coastguard Minute 20/96 Distribution C Sar Situation Reports (SITREPS) And Morning Press Reports Ref: A. CG3 Vol. 3 Part 2 Section 7 B. CG3 Vol. 2 Part 5 Section 1 1. Representations have been received at CGHQ concerning the publication in Lloyd's List of information on alerts, emergencies and equipment failures, passed by the Offshore Industry and Merchant Vessels to HM Coastguard in good faith and on the understanding that there will be an embargo on further publication. However, despite the "For information not for publication" affix, these articles are being published. 2. Staff should be well aware of the value of rapid and open reporting between Industry and ourselves and should be conscious that unnecessary media emphasis on what turns out to be a precautionary report is not conducive to maintaining the necessary rapport. We must however, also be mindful, as a government agency, of being aware of the publics' expectation for us to report emergency incidents without fear or favour. 3. (a) Effective upon receipt of this minute, SAR situation reports are not to be transmitted to Lloyds, except where positive SAR{1} action occurs. (b) Reports in accordance with Ref. B (Paragraph 1.6.2) are to continue, however to clarify the situation, the term "wreck or casualty" does not include precautionary alerts or reports of vessel stoppages. 4. In accordance with Ref. A, SITREPS should normally only be sent when positive SAR action is taken or required; for example, precautionary alerts from an offshore installation or a report of a vessel stopped for mechanical repairs would not normally warrant a SITREP unless/until the situation deteriorated. 5. In future, tighter control is to be maintained on the occasions when SAR SITREPs are released to external authorities. SWOs/DMTs/RDOs are to assess the requirements for SITREPs more rigorously, paying particularly attention to the SITREP address list. 6. Morning reports to CGHQ should continue as per Ref. A. Where these are used for external distribution, they should be edited to reflect only those incidents where positive SAR action was taken. 7. This Coastguard Minute remains extant until superseded or incorporated into Coastguard Instructions. J ASTBURY Chief Coastguard 15 July 1996 Department of Transport--CG2 2/1/5/15 Coastguard Minute 19/96 was circulated Distribution B {1} Positive SAR is where assets are mobilised and despatch to an incident.
