Mr. Radice: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the names of each United Kingdom company and institution
which received grants under the European Union third framework programme between 1991 and 1994. [9048]
Mr. Ian Taylor: Full information on research projects funded in individual member states by the third framework programme is held
only by the European Commission, and is not distributed to member states. UK researchers have, however, participated vigorously in
the EU's framework programmes. Commission statistics show that 2,337 UK research teams participated in projects funded under the
third framework--more than in any other member state.

Mr. Lidington: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the outcome of the EU Research Council on 5
December. [9862]
Mr. Ian Taylor: The main issue considered by the Council was the Commission's revised proposal for 100 million ecu additional
funding for the fourth framework programme for research and technological development. The Council agreed the proposal subject to a
statement in the minutes by the Council and Commission recognising the need for the Council to examine urgently, on the basis of
detailed figures provided by the Commission, the expenditure pressures expected to arise in category 3 of the EU's financial
perspectives until the end of the current financing period. This statement was included to respond to concerns expressed by the UK,
and shared by other member states, that the proposal should be fully compatible with the financial perspectives. The Netherlands and
Sweden entered reservations that are expected to be raised as and when the European Parliament confirm funding agreed by the Budget
Council for research and TENs-- trans-European networks--in the final stages of the EU's 1997 budgetary process. The areas to be
funded from the 100 million ecu match the United Kingdom priorities well, especially research on transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies and vaccines, and on aeronautics technologies.
The Council had a brief discussion of the Commission's proposals for the structure of the fifth framework programme outlined in its
working paper, "Towards the Fifth Framework Programme: material for the policy debate". Most member states shared the reservations
expressed by the UK, that substantial further consideration was needed of programme objectives and management mechanisms to achieve
the aim of a focused, user driven programme.
The Council agreed conclusions endorsing the Commission's proposed research strategy for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies,
which specifies priority research areas and embodies provisions that will ensure that the research undertaken is of the highest
quality. The Council also agreed conclusions on the treatment of SMEs in the framework programme, the role of the joint research
centre and the contribution of research to the fight against drugs.

Mr. Mackinlay: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list those departmental responsibilities which relate to (a)
England, (b) England and Wales, (c) England Wales and Scotland and (d) the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland and the approximate proportion of the time and budget of his Department which exclusively relates to each of the above
categories. [5959]
Mr. Lang: [holding answer 3 December 1996]: The responsibilities of the Department of Trade and Industry apply to the whole of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, except where indicated as follows:
Corporate and consumer affairs
Company law
Northern Ireland has its own company law.
Companies House
Northern Ireland has separate legislation for the administration of registration functions, but maintains close links with Companies
House.
The Registrar for Scotland comes within the Companies House structure, but there are differences in the Scottish law of property and
the legal system.
Consumer affairs
DTI does not fund the Northern Irish General Consumer Council or Association of Citizens' Advice Bureaux.
Nor is it responsible for Northern Irish legislation on misleading price indications, weights and measures, product liability and
specific safety regulations.
Some consumer legislation has specific sections which apply only to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Insolvency Service
The Insolvency Service has no responsibility in relation to Northern Ireland.
Its responsibilities are limited to England and Wales for preliminary administration and investigation of compulsory insolvencies;
acting as trustee or liquidator; reporting criminal offences; undertaking banking and investment services for bankruptcies and
liquidations; and policy advice to Ministers.
Industrial Relations Directorate (IRD)
Most of DTI's industrial relations work does not cover Northern Ireland, although industrial relations legislation is adopted almost
in its entirety there.
IRD is responsible for the whole of the UK, however, for the negotiation of certain EU directives; policy and practices on pay;
industrial disputes and public funding; and interest in trades unions.
Most IRD related NDPBs, including the industrial tribunal and employment appeals tribunal, and ACAS, do not cover Northern Ireland.
The Office of Manpower Economics does, however, cover the whole of the UK.
Investigations
Various investigations powers in the Companies Acts 1985 and 1989, the Insurance Companies Act 1982 and the Financial Services Act
1986 do not cover Northern Ireland. In addition, in view of the differences between English and Scottish law, and where it is
appropriate to use external investigators, the Department frequently uses accountants practising in Scotland to undertake
investigations in cases with a Scottish dimension.
Energy promotion
Export promotion
DTI has overall responsibility for export promotion policy throughout the UK in collaboration with the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office. Delivery of export promotion services in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is the responsibility of the relevant
Department.
Energy
Energy policy
DTI has responsibility for establishing the framework of UK energy policy, but implementation of that policy lies partly with the
Scottish Office and the Northern Ireland Department of Economic Development (NIDED).
Nuclear industries
The Scottish Office has responsibility for the safety and licensing of civil nuclear installations in Scotland. There are no civil
nuclear sites in Northern Ireland.
The Welsh Office is involved in any emergency at a civil nuclear site in Wales.
Responsibility for reporting incidents at civil nuclear sites to DTI Ministers is confined to England and Wales, although DTI would
act on the Scottish Office's behalf in notifying nuclear emergencies to the European Union and other countries.
Coal
The principal provisions of the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act 1946 do not extend to Northern Ireland.
Energy technologies
Overall policy is dealt with by the DTI, including orders for renewable energy under the non-fossil fuel obligation for England and
Wales. Separate arrangements exist in Scotland and Northern Ireland for the non-fossil fuel obligation.
Electricity
The Electricity Act 1989 does not cover Northern Ireland.
Regulatory issues, entailing liaison with OFFER, relate to England and Wales only.
EU directive negotiations are undertaken on behalf of the UK, but both the Scottish Office and NIDED are consulted, and they have
responsibility for implementation.
Section 34 directions relating to fuel stocks for security purposes are for England and Wales only; Scotland and Northern Ireland
make their own arrangements.
Pension regulations made by the former Secretary of State for Energy do not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland.
DTI's electricity emergency provisions do not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The DTI does not sponsor the electricity industry in Northern Ireland.
Engineering inspectorate
DTI's responsibility for the conduct and reporting of public inquiries and hearings into the contested proposals of the electricity
and gas supply industries (e.g. overhead lines and underground cables) does not extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Oil and gas
The principal provisions of the Gas Act do not extend to Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Office has separate responsibility
for gas policy in the province.
Regional development
Government Offices
The network of Government Offices covers the English regions only and is jointly run by DTI, DoE, DfEE and DOT.
Regional development
On regional industrial policy, DTI takes the lead for the development and targeting of industrial policy, but works closely in
consultation with the Scottish and Welsh office.s. (In Northern Ireland these subjects are dealt with separately by the Northern
Ireland Office.)
Powers to provide regional selective assistance (RSA) in Scotland and Wales are exercised by the Secretaries of State for Scotland
and for Wales. RSA is not available in Northern Ireland which has a separate arrangement.
DTI is responsible for the co-ordination of UK policy on the EU structural and cohesion funds. However, decisions on the
implementation and allocation of funds in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are generally made by the relevant Department.
Business links
Business links are established in England only, as is the local competitiveness challenge.
Innovation, technology and design services are delivered within England through business links. DTI also funds the provision of
innovation and technology counsellors in Wales through their similar Business Connect service.
Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) policy
On SME issues, DTI works closely with the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland Offices in developing policies. Any action arising is
the responsibility of the separate departments. The small firms loan guarantee scheme operated by the DTI is available throughout
the United Kingdom.
Invest in Britain Bureau
The Invest In Britain Bureau (IBB) is responsible for inward investment promotion for the whole of the UK. It operates through a
network of regional development organisations and Government offices in England; national agencies in Scotland, Northern Ireland and
Wales; and overseas through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Management best practice
DTR's management best practice programme extends to England, Wales and Scotland. Academic/industry programmes cover all the UK with
the Scottish Office, Welsh Office and Northern Ireland Office contributing additional funds to allow extra activity in their areas.
The international technology programmes also cover the whole of the United Kingdom.
Small and Medium Enterprise technology
DTI funds SMART in England and Northern Ireland. DTI funds SPUR in England and SPUR for further development of SMART projects in
Northern Ireland. The Scottish and Welsh Offices are responsible for SMART and SPUR arrangements in Scotland and Wales.
DTI funds focus technical in England.
Industry
Engineering, automotive and metals sectors
The Department of Economic Development in Northern Ireland administers and pays for its own shipbuilding intervention fund and
shipbuilding grants, within the context of a policy laid down for the UK as a whole, on which DTI leads.
Innovation
The Scottish Office has responsibility for the funding and operation of innovation measures in Scotland. The Welsh Office has
responsibility for the operation of design services and the SMART and SPUR schemes in Wales, although DTI retains responsibility for
the funding of other innovation measures in Wales.
Responsibility for technology and innovation in Northern Ireland is handled by the Northern Ireland Office.
Radiocommunications Agency
In the Radiocommunications Agency, regional licensing and forcement action is carried out through a network of Regional Offices.
Implementation is uniform throughout the UK and representative local offices exist in Cardiff for Wales, Falkirk for Scotland and
Belfast for Northern Ireland, as well as several offices in England.
Relevant information on the approximate proportion of the time and budget of the Department devoted to its main responsibilities is
contained in MINIS which is published annually by the DTI.
