My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State is not aware of any central Government funding used to establish new monuments and statues in (a) Romford and (b) Havering between 1999 and the present.During the period from 1999 to the present, the following monuments and statues, all of which have been, or are planned to be erected in Greater London, have been funded either directly or indirectly by central Government:"DCMS contributed £611,502 towards the cost of the 11 September Memorial Gardens in Grosvenor Square, opened on 11 September 2003;""DCMS contributed £3,862,800 and The Royal Parks Agency £1,384,566 towards the cost of the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, opened in July 2004;""Arts Council England contributed £80,000 towards the statue of Alison Lapper on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2004–05;""The Women of World War II Memorial Fund secured a grant of £934,115 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund for the erection of the memorial, which was unveiled in 2005;""The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has committed £266,000 towards the cost of a memorial to the victims of the Bali bombings. £10,000 has been spent to date;""HM Treasury has allocated £2 million to finance the proposed statue of the Queen Mother statue, which will be funded by the proceeds of a £5 coin being issued by the Royal Mint in 2006 to commemorate the 80th birthday of Her Majesty The Queen;""HM Treasury announced on 13 February 2006 that they stand ready to play a part in funding a memorial to those who lost their lives in the 7 July attacks on London, but funding will be finalised following consultation with the bereaved families and decisions on the style and location of the memorial."Furthermore, in March 2005 the Chancellor announced the Memorials Grants scheme, which returns to charities and faith groups the equivalent of the VAT incurred in erecting and maintaining memorial structures. The scheme has been operational since November and funding of £5 million p.a. is available until 2008. On 16 December 2005, £3,325.90 was paid towards the construction of a memorial to the Siege of Malta in Tower Place, Tower Hill, City of London. Currently, no payments have been made for structures in Romford or Havering under this scheme.

Mr. Hammond: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs (1) what the total cost to public funds of providing legal advice, assistance and support in relation to planning applications and appeals in respect of Traveller encampments was in the last period for which figures are available; [216647] (2) in how many legal cases no longer before the courts and involving a Traveller or a group of Travellers appealing against a decision by a local planning authority the Community Law Partnership has given advice. [219514] Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs (1) what the eligibility requirements for legal aid are for (a) Travellers and (b) home owners; [219917] (2) what support the Legal Services Commission (LSC) provides to Travellers; and how much the LSC has spent on such support in each of the last five years; [219918] (3) how many full-time equivalent staff in his Department deal with issues relating to Travellers; [219949] (4) pursuant to the answer of 7 February 2005, Official Report, column 1296W, whether the Travellers' legal helpline provides advice in relation to (a) eviction actions and (b) planning enforcement actions; [220172] (5) pursuant to the answer of 7 February 2005, Official Report, column 1296W, on Traveller sites, when the Government began funding the Community Law Partnership to provide legal support to Travellers; and how much funding was provided in each year. [220187] Mr. Lammy: It is not possible to identify individual grants of legal aid to Gypsies and Travellers in some categories of law because we do not collect information to indicate whether clients are from these ethnic groups or follow any particular lifestyle. The Community Law Partnership has held a contract with the LSC to provide publicly funded services since January 2000. It has held a contract with the LSC since April 2002 to provide telephone advice to Gypsies and Travellers on housing matters, including eviction and planning enforcement actions. Its grants have been as follows. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £ April 2002-March 2003 131,675 April 2003-March 2004 131,675 April 2004-March 2005 50,000 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. In addition, Legal Help, which provides for basic advice and assistance on questions of English law including, planning applications and appeals, is available subject to satisfying the statutory tests of the applicant's means and the merits of the case. The LSC does not hold data on how much Legal Help is awarded to Gypsies and Travellers. Legal Representation at planning applications and appeals is generally outside the scope of legal aid. However, since April 2000, funding can be made available in exceptional cases under section 6(8)(b) of the Access to Justice Act 1999, when the relevant criteria are satisfied, for example, where the case concerns the applicant's home. This protects the applicant's fundamental rights and ensures a fair hearing. It is not possible to give a precise figure for total costs but, since April 2000, a maximum of £45,000 plus VAT (excluding Legal Help costs) has been spent on planning applications in relation to Traveller encampments. The costs over the last five years break down as follows. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £ April 2001-March 2002 14,600 plus VAT April 2002-March 2003 7,000 plus VAT April 2003-March 2004 0 April 2004-March 2005 23,644 plus VAT _________________________________________________________________________________________________. According to our records, legal aid has been granted to the Community Law Partnership for representation in 16 such cases. We do not know whether all these cases have concluded. The Ormiston Children and Families Trust and the Fenland Citizens Advice Bureau has received a Partnership Initiative Budget grant to pilot the provision of information and advice services on social welfare law specifically to Gypsies and Travellers in Cambridgeshire. LSC funding amounted to £5,050 in 2003-04 and £17,200 so far in 2004-05. The eligibility criteria for legal aid for Gypsies and Travellers are the same as for other individuals in England and Wales. Allowances are given within the financial eligibility tests for civil legal aid to disregard equity held in a homeowner's principal home up to a limit of £100,000, in addition to payments for a mortgage of up to £100,000. No member of staff at the Department for Constitutional Affairs deals solely with issues relating to Travellers.

Mr. Jonathan Djanogly: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what the change has been in the civil legal aid budget over the last four years; and what the reasons are for the change. [198952] Mr. Lammy: Prior to 2000-01 no formal budget was set for civil legal aid. Funding for civil legal aid was available from the total legal aid budget. However, under section 5(6) of the Access to Justice Act 1999, the Lord Chancellor is required to set an overall budget for the Community Legal Service Fund (civil legal aid). This is done by direction at the start of each financial year and by subsequent amendment to meet changing priorities. For the last four years the final budgets set were: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. £million 2000-01 810 2001-02 740 2002-03 782 2003-04 912 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. These budgets were set to accommodate the demand for civil legal aid in each year. For example, the initial budget for 2000-01 was increased to accommodate the rise in asylum applications, the faster processing of initial decisions and legal aid becoming available for representation in asylum appeals. The figures given are stated in cash terms and represent budgets set rather than expenditure in each year.
