Malcolm Bruce: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what value of guarantees have been issued by the Export Credits Guarantee Department since 1997 which relate to (a) military and defence projects, (b) aerospace projects, (c) oil, petrochemical and gas projects, (d) environmental projects, (e) telecommunications and transport projects, (f) education and medical projects and (g) mining projects, broken down by country. [144806] Mr. Mike O'Brien: The information requested is in the following table, except for (d) environmental projects. While projects may have environmental benefits, for example: water treatment plants, or paper mills that use recycled paper as raw material, it would not be appropriate to class these as primarily `environmental'. ECGD has, since 2001, assessed the potential environmental and social impacts of all projects it has been asked to support, except for defence and aerospace, which are subject to separate processes. The currency values of ECGDs Guarantees have been converted at the exchange rates at the end of November. £ million _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry pursuant to her Answer of 20 June 2003, Official Report, column 493W, on ECGD, if she will list the exposure under each reinsurance contract; what the split of business reinsured between defence and non- defence is; which claims have been (a) notified but not yet agreed and (b) agreed but not paid; and what projections have been made of expected claims payments. [130246] Mr. Mike O'Brien: Since the start of 1997, ECGD has reinsured 22 deals with other Export Credit Agencies (EGAs) in respect of medium/long-term business. ECGD has received no claims and therefore paid no claims. ECGD does not currently anticipate receiving any claims in respect of any of these cases. Current Exposure refers to the amount that ECGD has reinsured which is still outstanding. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Yeo: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of whether the spectrum allocated to the Ministry of Defence is being used in a manner which best serves the public interest. [94932] Ms Hewitt: There are effective mechanisms in place to ensure effective use of MOD spectrum, which will be further strengthened as a result of the recommendations of the independent Review of Radio Spectrum Management. My Department's Radiocommunications Agency has a close working relationship with the Ministry of Defence and the use of the spectrum allocated to defence is kept under constant review, balancing the needs of national defence against the requirements of other spectrum users, this process is overseen by the United Kingdom Spectrum Strategy Committee, a Cabinet Office committee, jointly chaired by the Radiocommunications Agency and the Ministry of Defence. Over the years, much defence spectrum has been made available for commercial services, either on a shared or exclusive basis. The Ministry of Defence also pays an annual charge to the RA for its spectrum use. This is calculated on a comparable basis to civil users and provides an important incentive to efficient spectrum use. The independent Review of Radio Spectrum Management has made a number of recommendations designed to promote the optimal use of defence spectrum. These include an audit of defence spectrum, the continued application of spectrum pricing in parallel with non-military users on a comparable basis and the introduction of trading to provide incentives for effective spectrum use. The Government have accepted these recommendations and their implementation is now being taken forward by the Radiocommunications Agency with the Ministry of Defence.
