Mr. Coe: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what financial support will be provided to the United Kingdom beef producers and slaughtering sector.[25930] Mr. Douglas Hogg: I refer my hon. Friend to the statement I made on 16 April 1996, Official Report, columns 513-16. In addition to the support measures previously announced, particularly for the rendering industry and for the slaughter of young bull calves, the measures set out below have now been implemented. Parliamentary approval for additional provision and for the funding of new services will be sought in supplementary estimates for class III vote 1, intervention board--executive agency: common agricultural policy market support and administration, and class III vote 2, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: operational expenditure, agencies and departmental administration. Pending that approval, urgent expenditure estimated at £190 million will be met by repayable advances from the Contingencies Fund. 1. Supplementary compensation payments on steers and heifers--older beef cattle whose market value is greater than cull cows. Cost: £80 million on class III vote 1. An advance from the Contingencies Fund of the full amount is required. 2. Emergency aid to the slaughtering industry, comprising two elements: (i) immediate payment to slaughterhouses calculated on the basis of bovines slaughtered during 1995-96. Cost: £30 million on class III vote 2. (ii) purchase of unsaleable stocks of beef held by licensed slaughterhouses and cutting premises. Cost: £80 million on class III vote 1. An advance from the Contingencies Fund of the full amount-- £110 million--is required. 3. Scheme to purchase beasts over 30 months old and to dispose of their carcases safely to prevent beef from these cattle from entering the human food chain. Cost: £550 million on class III vote 1, 70 per cent. of compensation payments to be funded by the EU.

Mr. Coe: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans she has to allow greater flexibility to higher education institutions in the application of the proceeds of sale of Exchequer-funded assets; and if she will make a statement.[23283] Mr. Forth: For many years universities and colleges of higher education have enjoyed freedom, within specified limits agreed by the Secretary of State, to retain the proceeds of sale of Exchequer-funded land or buildings, without reference to the annual appropriation procedures. The purpose of these arrangements is to help institutions to make the most economic and efficient use of their land and buildings, with the objective of rationalising and disposing of those assets which institutions consider in the light of their strategic plans to be no longer needed. Following consultations with the Higher Education Funding Council for England, my right hon. Friend is satisfied that these arrangements have enabled higher education institutions in England to make effective use of their estates and that it would be appropriate to consolidate and extend them. Accordingly, the conditions attached to the disposal of Exchequer-funded land and buildings have been incorporated in a revised control framework designed to allow institutions greater flexibility to manage their own estate without the need for detailed vetting of every individual project. These conditions are amongst those set out in a revised financial memorandum between the Department and the HEFCE. Higher education institutions will be informed of the new arrangements in a model financial memorandum between the HEFCE and individual institutions. The Government are still considering the relationship between the private finance initiative and controls on the disposal of Exchequer-funded assets. The new provisions for reinvesting the proceeds of sale of such assets do not take into account the full range of circumstances in which institutions might wish to procure assets or capital-related services under innovative PFI schemes. In consequence, there will be a need for special flexibilities to operate in some PFI cases. The Government will consider sympathetically requests for exceptions to the disposal provisions, on a case by case basis, in order to ensure that there are no financial disincentives to institutions seeking value for money through PFI schemes. Copies of the Department's financial memorandum with the HEFCE and the model financial memorandum between the HEFCE and institutions will be placed in the Library.
