1. (1) No. (a) and (b) fall away.
2. (2) No, as there was no motive up to now to amend the definitions.

No. (a) and (b) fall away.

Twenty.

Five.

As separate registers are not kept in respect of the separate race groups [Interjections] I regret that except in the case of the University of the Western Cape, where it is known that five Coloured persons qualified in recent years, no particulars are available.

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) Pretoria.
   2. (b) 13th July, 1970.
   3. (c) Section 88 read with sections 87 and 113 (1) (f) of the Customs and Excise Act, 1964.
2. (2)
   1. (a) Official designation of post:
      Controller of Customs and Excise.
      Public Service grade of post: Administrative Control Officer.
   2. (b) Matriculation Certificate, and National Commercial Certificate.
   3. (c) 22nd June. 1970 to 24th July, 1970 (as Acting Controller of Customs and Excise).
   4. (d) None, except the normal experience of departmental activities.
3. (3) (a) and (b) The officer received no specific instruction or guidance, but in applying section 113 (1) (f) he observed standing instructions by taking note of the provisions of section 5 (2) of the Publications and Entertainments Act, 1963. As the interpretation of the last-mentioned section rests with the Publications Contral Board, officers are required, in cases of doubt, to refer the article to the Board for a decision. In the case in question three posters comprising a single consignment were referred to the Board, two of which (namely “Marie, the girl in the wet dress” and “More Marie”) were declared objectionable, while the poster showing “David” was declared non-objectionable.

1. (a)
   1. (i) 440.
   2. (ii) Subsidies in respect of other persons are not administered by my Department but by the Department of Community Development.
2. (b) R210 000 to farmers.

1. (a) Nil. Since the introduction of the Finance Charges Aid Scheme on 1st October, 1970, 372 exporters have registered for assistance under the scheme.
   Rebates payable in terms of the scheme is based on new or expanded exports of manufactured products attained since the date referred to above.
   Claims under the scheme shall be based on the financial years normally applicable to the respective companies.
   In view of the fact that the financial years of most of the exporters registered under the scheme ended on 31st December, 1970, it is anticipated that the first claims for consideration by the Committee which has been appointed to consider these claims, will be received shortly.
2. (b) This part of the question falls away.

1. (1) (a), (b), (c) and (d), (i), (ii) and (iii) The South African Medical and Dental Council and the South African Pharmacy Board do not keep separate registers for the different race groups and consequently the information is not available.
2. (2) Falls away.

1. (1) No. An application has, however, been received on her behalf.
2. (2) The validity of her temporary residence permit has been extended until the 2nd April, 1971. In the meantime consideration will be given to the issue of a residence permit to her in terms of section 25 (1) of Act No. 22 of 1913.

1. (1) Yes. When the extensions to the terminal building were originally planned it was not expected that larger jet aircraft would make use of D. F. Malan Airport within the design period. During October, 1970, however, it became apparent that such larger aircraft may well be introduced on routes to Cape Town at a much earlier date and it was considered wise to revise the building plans accordingly.
2. (2) By December, 1972.
3. (3) Yes.

As far as State Airports are concerned at:

• Jan Smuts;
• Louis Botha;
• D. F. Malan;
• J. B. M. Hertzog;
• Ben Schoeman;
• B. J. Vorster;
• H. F. Verwoerd;
• J. G. Strijdom;
• J. G. H. van der Wath; and
• Upington.

What do you mean by “air terminals”? [Interjections.]

An air terminal and an airport are the same thing for the purposes of the reply. [Interjections.]

No refreshments are served at town terminals. [Interjections.]

That is the concern of the S.A. Railways. [Interjections.]

Although no specific accommodation is available at the J. B. M. Hertzog Airport, Indian passengers are accommodated at the private residences of certain selected persons.

1. (1) No, but considerable progress has been made and it is expected that finality will be reached in due course. The management committee of the Board will meet on 12th February, 1971, and it is trusted that the scheme will soon thereafter be put into operation on a country-wide basis.
2. (2) None.
3. (3) The means test is too elaborate to be dealt with in a reply of this nature. Full particulars will be made available to all interested persons as soon as the scheme is put into operation.

1. (a) R64 898 000.
2. (b) Butter R5 130 000.
   Bread R27 396 000.
   Maize R31 884 000.
   Kaffircorn R488 000.

The amount of R31 884 000 includes:

1. (1) A subsidy on maize utilized for stock feeds which cannot be separated from that utilized for human consumption.
2. (2) An amount of approximately R6 000 000 in respect of the Government’s contribution towards the stabilization funds of the Maize Board.

But does not include the subsidy on rail transport of maize and maize products which amount to R4 750 000. The subsidy of R488 000 is paid on kaffircorn used in feed mixtures in place of yellow maize. The subsidy amounting to R69 000 on rail transport of kaffircorn is not included in the subsidy of R488 000.

The out-and-out subsidy on maize is the consumer’s subsidiy and that is what I referred to. There is no subsidy on this, other than the consumer’s subsidy.

(a) and (b) The position is as outlined in the written reply which I furnished to the hon. member on the 11th September. 1970, to Question No. 8, except that 2 080 employees are now affected by exemptions granted on an individual basis.

Some assessments containing loan levy are still to be issued for the years 1969 to 1970 while the 1971 assessing work has not yet commenced.

1. (4) (b) (i) and (ii): Separate statistics for repayments (i) on due date and (ii) to estates of deceased taxpayers and companies in liquidation were not maintained for the years 1953 and 1957 to 1959. For the years 1966 to 1971 repayment of the loan levy is not yet due and the amounts reflected as repayments for those years relate solely to repayments to estates of deceased taxpayers and companies in liquidation.
2. (5) Advices of payments of loan levy are only issued after the issue assessments for the levy is discontinued by proclamation. The issue of 1968 loan levy assessments was discontinued as from the 30th September, 1970, and advices of payment of loan levy for that year were printed in October, 1970.

It is not considered desirable to shorten the period during which loan levy assessments for any particular year may be issued as it is not possible to complete the assessing work and issue the bulk of the assessments within a shorter period after the close of a tax year.

The advices of payment are not redeemable or transferable and serve merely as a notification of the amount of loan levy paid for a particular tax year, which amount is, in any case, also reflected on the assessment notice issued to the taxpayer for the year in question.

When the time for redemption of a particular year’s loan levy is determined, a refund of the amount paid will be made automatically and not on production of the advice of payment notification.

The question cannot be replied to as any relaxation of the means test must necessarily affect the Government’s budget proposals which, naturally, cannot be disclosed at this stage.

1. (1)
   1. (a) 111 006.
   2. (b) 14 623.
   3. (c) 1 244 (Indians).
   4. (d) 96 845.

All servants concerned received benefits such as travelling concessions, annual free passes and medical treatment, and certain servants were issued with uniform clothing. Some received rent subsidy, whilst others were accommodated in departmental houses. Certain servants also participated in departmental food schemes. Such benefits cannot, however, be readily evaluated.

Separate details are not available in respect of part (3) (a) (ii), (b) (ii) and (c) (ii) of the question.

(a) and (b) It is practice not to appoint members of Parliament and of Provincial Councils as officers in the Citizen Force except as honorary colonels. Serving officers who are elected to Parliament or the Provincial Councils are requested to relinquish their officer appointments.

As regards honorary colonels, it must be pointed out that such appointments do not involve the granting of commissioned rank in the Defence Force. It is merely a titular appointment which is made at the request of regiments. The following serving members of Parliament hold such appointments in the regiments indicated opposite their names:

• The Honourable Dr. H. Muller: 1 Regiment, Noord-Transvaal.
• Sir De Villiers Graaff: Regiment Boland.
• Mr. H. H. Smit: Regiment Universiteit Stellenbosch.
• Dr. G. de V. Morrison: Regiment Piet Retief.

No members of the Provincial Councils hold such appointments.

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) Inkwali Bantu Community School and Fakazi Bantu Community School.
   2. (b) During the night of 10th January, 1971.
   3. (c) Inkwali Bantu Community School: Four of the six classrooms were destroyed completely and the other two were damaged. Fakazi Bantu Community School: Two of the classrooms were damaged.
   4. (d) Inkwali Bantu Community School: R5 000. Fakazi Bantu Community School: R2 000.
   5. (e) None; but repairs will start during this week.
   6. (f) Private contractors obtained by the school board.
   7. (g) Inkwali Bantu Community School: The community will contribute approximately R2 000; the remainder is covered by an insurance policy. Fakazi Bantu Community School: The damage is covered by an insurance policy.
   8. (h) It is expected that the repairs will be completed during April.
2. (2) No; temporary accommodation has been acquired.

As far as is practicable and is possible.

1. (a) Three qualified teachers are at present doing their national service in the Citizen Force at their own request— two in the army and one in the navy. It must be mentioned that teachers are posted to the Commandos for national service except where they specifically ask to do their national service in the Citizen Force.
2. (b) One of the army members is at present undergoing basic training after which he will be appointed as an officer in the military intelligence section. The other one is being trained for appointment as an officer instructor. The navy member serves as an officer instructor in radio theory and mathematics.

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) Twenty-six.

      5. (v) One from 19th June, 1970, to date.
      6. (vi) One from 22nd September, 1970, to date.
      7. (vii) One from 23rd September, 1970, to date.
      8. (viii) One from 27th October, 1970, to date.
      9. (ix) One from 10th December, 1970, to date.
   3. (c)
      1. (i) Messrs. Motor & General Supplies, East London: Seventeen pairs of number plates.
      2. (ii) Messrs. M. & P. Plastics, East London: One pair of number plates.
      3. (iii) Supplied by officials to whom the vehicles were allocated on a subsidized basis: Eight pairs of number plates.
   4. (d)
      1. (i) Seventeen pairs of aluminium.
      2. (ii) One pair of aluminium/ plastic.
      3. (iii) Eight pairs for subsidized vehicles: The officials obtained number plates of their own choice.
   5. (e)
      1. (i) Seventeen pairs at R2.10 per pair.
      2. (ii) One pair at R2.00.
      3. (iii) Eight pairs for subsidized vehicles were provided by the officials at their own expense.
   6. (f)
      1. (i) Seventeen vehicles were provided for official use.
      2. (ii) One vehicle was allocated to the Commissioner General at Umtata.
      3. (iii) Eight vehicles were allocated on a subsidized basis.
2. (2) Yes.
   1. (i) Twenty-three new vehicles were supplied from Port Elizabeth prior to November, 1970.
   2. (ii) One new vehicle was supplied from Cape Town prior to November, 1970.
   3. (iii) Two new vehicles were bought at East London—one during February, 1970, and one during December, 1970.
3. (3) Yes; eighteen vehicles were registered free of charge and the eight subsidized vehicles were registered at the cost of the officials to whom they were allocated.

All Ministers and Deputy Ministers are allowed to make use of State cars. [Interjections.] Mr. Speaker, it has always been so, except when it is for their own elections in their own constituencies.

It is policy that Ministers are not conveyed in GG-numbered cars.

It was the ex-Minister’s policy and it has been so ever since.

(b) Each one is accorded the status attached to his rank within the milieu of his own corps. Members of the Coloured Corps do not exercise command or authority over White members of the Defence Force. On account of the fact that members of the Coloured Corps are employed in a limited number of musterings their duties and responsibilities are not comparable with those of White members of the Defence Force. It is also important to note that members of the Coloured Corps serve in non-combatant capacities.

No, but the hon. member presumably refers to the death of a certain Dennis Richard Faul in respect of whose death an inquest will be held on the 12th February, 1971.

1. (1) No information in regard to any application for a residence permit has at any time been made available by the Department of the Interior to another person. Where an applicant gives the name of a person who can be referred to, such person is contacted to inquire whether he knows the applicant.
2. (2) No.

As it is not practical to give here the estimated extra revenue from each of the several hundred tariffs involved, particulars are given of the total extra revenue expected to be produced by the postal and telecommunications services during 1971-’72 as a result of the proposed tariff adjustments. I shall be prepared to reply in greater detail when the Post Office Budget for 1971-’72 is considered by the House.

I may mention that certain tariff increases in the foreign postal service will only become effective on 1st July, 1971, and that in respect of 1971-’72 those increases will add approximately R3 million to the figure given below in respect of extra revenue from the postal tariff increases to be introduced on 1st April, 1971:

• Postal services: R15.815 million.
• Telecomunication services: R31 million.

Yes. From one film producer—up to 8th February, 1971. Thereafter up to 1.00 p.m. today from

1. (1) Chairman of the S.A. PEN Centre.
2. (2) Chairman of the local committee of the N.P.U.

Mr. Speaker, I regard the nature of the representations and the discussions as confidential at this stage.

No. (a) and (b) Fall away.

The Bill was not submitted to the Board as it was not considered necessary.

No, it has not been submitted to the Chairman of the Publications Board.

I do not know whether he knew about it. The hon. member asked me whether it had been submitted to him before it was introduced. My reply to that is that I did not submit it to him. I stand by that reply.

I am not prepared to discuss this matter any further.

1. (1)
   1. (a) 14 persons were killed.
   2. (b) 21 persons sustained serious injury.
2. (2) Yes.
3. (3) As a court case involving the driver of the train is pending, no further statement can be made at this stage.
4. (4) Steps are continually being taken to prevent train accidents in the area. Among other steps, the following have been or are being taken:
   1. (a) All automatic colour-light signals in the Soweto area are being converted to telephone-controlled stop signals.
   2. (b) A two-way radio communication system connecting, inter alia, the Operating office in Johannesburg, all signal cabins in the Soweto area and the drivers of suburban Bantu passenger trains has been introduced.
   3. (c) Safety guidance instructors are regularly deputed at short intervals to promote safety in the Soweto area.

1. (1)
   1. (a) A division which inter alia undertakes health education, was established during 1964 in the Department of Health. Because of the important role played by health education in national health services, a Directorate of Health Education was created on 1st July, 1969 and a Director of Health Education was appointed on 10th November, 1969.
   2. (b) The Division of Health Education is responsible for epidemiology and statistics, national nutrition, family health, health education and medical advisory services.
