For oral reply:

Greater accuracy in voters’ rolls *1. Mr. L. G. MURRAY

asked the Minister of the Interior:

Whether steps are being taken or are contemplated to ensure greater accuracy in the voters’ rolls; if so, what steps; if not, why not.

 The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR:

Yes. The Department is embarking upon an experiment to computerize voters’ rolls in an endeavour to ensure greater accuracy (i) in the alphabetical arrangement of voters’ names in the rolls and (ii) in the reproduction of such rolls.

 Mr. L. G. MURRAY:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of the hon. the Minister’s reply, I want to ask him whether these computerized rolls are to replace the existing rolls prior to the next general registration of voters?

 The MINISTER:

The date has not been fixed.

 Postal vote system *2. Mr. L. G. MURRAY

asked the Minister of the Interior:

Whether it is intended to abolish the postal vote system.

 The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR:

The advisability whether or not to retain the postal vote system is still under consideration.

 Unclaimed Workmen’s Compensation awards i.r.o. Bantu workmen *3. Mrs. H. SUZMAN

asked the Minister of Labour:

  1. (1) Whether there has been a decrease in the number of unclaimed Workmen’s Compensation awards to Bantu workmen during 1970 following on the amendment of the regulations and other steps taken to trace such workmen; if not,
  2. (2) whether his Department is considering any further steps in this regard; if so, what steps.
 The MINISTER OF BANTU ADMINISTRATION AND DEVELOPMENT (for the Minister of Labour):
  1. (1) Yes.
  2. (2) The effects of the amended regulations cannot be determined as yet and no new steps are contemplated at this stage. Statistics thus far available show that 15.8 per cent of the awards issued during 1969 had to be transferred to the Unclaimed Benefit Account as against 13 per cent in 1970. Since the implementation of more intensive measures to trace beneficiaries, the statistics also reveal that while only 231 beneficiaries were traced during 1966, this figure increased to 3 218 in 1970, and that the amounts paid out during these two years were R8 610 and R94 633, respectively.

  2. (2) whether the Administrators of the provinces concerned informed the Government of their views on the matter; if so, (a) what were the views of each and (b) what replies were given thereto;
  3. (3) whether he (a) has taken or (b) contemplates any steps in this regard; if so, what steps; if not, why not.
 The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR:
  1. (1)
    1. (a) No.
    2. (b) No. (i), (ii) and (iii) fall away.
  2. (2) No. (a) and (b) fall away.
  3. (3)
    1. (a) No.
    2. (b) No—in view of section 114 (a) of the Republic of South Africa Constitution Act, 1961 (Act No. 32 of 1961).
 *Mr. E. G. MALAN:

Arising out of the reply of the hon. the Minister, may I ask him whether he, as Administrator of Natal, was in touch with the Central Government in connection with a similar matter?

 Westonaria English Primary School: Fencing in of area on school grounds *7. Mr. E. G. MALAN

asked the Minister of Mines:

  1. (1) Whether the committee on sinkholes decided during 1970 that an area in or near the school-ground of the Westonaria English Primary School had to be fenced in; if so, (a) on what date, (b) for what reasons the area had to be fenced in, (c) what steps were taken (i) before and (ii) after the fencing in and (d) what further steps are contemplated;
  2. (2) whether steps taken by the provincial authorities in this regard have come to his notice; if so, what steps;

  1. (1) Yes, an area on the school grounds.
    1. (a) The 12th November, 1970.
    2. (b) Due to the detection by the State Co-ordinating Technical Committee on Sinkholes of a structure in the now fenced-in area in respect of which potential danger exists that a sinkhole may develop under certain circumstances.
    3. (c)
      1. (i) Geophysical investigations were carried out and these were followed up by drilling for the purpose of obtaining confirmation of the survey results.
      2. (ii) In order to reassure the parents of scholars, and at their request, it was decided to undertake further drilling so that further evidence could be obtained in verification of the correctness of the Committee’s previous decisions, namely, that the rest of the school grounds was safe. Six drilling machines were kindly withdrawn from other work by one of the mining groups concerned and the drilling programme was commenced.
    4. (d) If adjacent land could be found for the purpose of extending the school grounds, that land will be investigated by the Committee to determine whether it is safe. The Committee also keeps a vigilant eye on the physical state of and events in the whole area in which the school is located.
  2. (2) Yes, that the school building has been closed temporarily due to the excessive noise caused by the drilling machines and that negotiations are under way for acquiring adjacent land for the purpose of extending the school grounds.
  3. (3) The results of the drilling operations were discussed by the Committee on the 1st March, 1971, in the presence of the Director and Assistant Director of Education, and the Committee reaffirmed its previous decision that the building and the rest of the school grounds were safe. This decision was on the 2nd March, 1971, conveyed to the parents at Westonaria and the said Director requested that the school should be reopened on Monday, the 8th March, 1971.
 S.A.B.C.: Review of banned book *8. Mr. E. G. MALAN

asked the Minister of National Education:

  1. (1) Whether he has taken steps to establish whether the South African Broadcasting Corporation recently reviewed a book that had been banned;
  2. (2) whether he will make a statement in regard to the matter.
 The MINISTER OF NATIONAL EDUCATION:
  1. (1) Yes.
  2. (2) The book was received for review and the discussion recorded on tape two weeks before publication of the notice that it had been banned. The relevant portion of the record, which formed part of a general programme of book reviews, was erroneously not excised from the programme.

 Publications Control Board: Supreme Court cases and legal costs *10. Mr. L. G. MURRAY

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) In how many Supreme Court cases has the Publications Control Board been involved as appellant or respondent;
  2. (2) what amount of legal costs was paid by the State to successful appellants and/or recovered from unsuccessful appellants in respect of each case;
  3. (3) what was the cost to the State of each such case.
 The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:

(1), (2) and (3) All the files in five state attorneys’ offices since 1963 will have to be scrutinised to compile the information required. It is consequently not practicable to furnish the particulars required. If the hon. member will, however, refer to specific cases, attempts will be made to assist him.

 Mr. L. G. MURRAY:

Mr. Speaker, is the hon. the Minister aware that the hon. the Minister of the Interior has said that the department was involved in nine cases? Is he not aware of the costs involved in those nine cases? I am referring to the reply which I have received on Tuesday from the Minister of the Interior.

 The MINISTER:

The hon. member must obtain the names and the cases in which the Board was involved. Then I will give him the information.

 Mr. L. G. MURRAY:

Arising out of his answer, will the hon. the Minister make the records of the Deputy State Attorney available to me so that I can find out in what cases the Publications Board was involved.

 The MINISTER:

With pleasure.

 Mr. E. G. MALAN:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of the reply of the hon. the Minister, is it not possible for him to find out from the Publications Board in which actions they were involved.

 The MINISTER:

Mr. Speaker, the information must be obtained from the responsible Minister. Thereafter the question can be put to me as to what the costs were.

 Mr. E. G. MALAN:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of that, I should like to ask the hon. the Minister whether he is not responsible for payment in respect of those cases and whether he does not have to let the hon. the Minister of Finance know about that.

 The MINISTER:

Yes, always.

 Mr. E. G. MALAN:

But then the hon. the Minister must have the particulars.

 Mr. L. G. MURRAY:

Mr. Speaker, further arising out of the reply of the hon. the Minister, may I ask the hon. the Minister whether he will ascertain the names of the nine cases from the hon. the Minister of the Interior?

 The MINISTER:

That is your responsibility.

 Extension of S.A. and S.W.A. territorial waters and fishing zones *12. Mr. J. W. E. WILEY

asked the Minister of Economic Affairs:

Whether consideration has been given to extending (a) the territorial waters and (b) the fishing zones of South Africa and South-West Africa; if so, (i) when and (ii) to what extent; if not, why not.

 The DEPUTY MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS:

Consideration has not yet been given to an extension of the territorial waters of the Republic and South-West Africa. From time to time consideration has, however, been given to the desirability of extending the fishery zone. Because such an extension will entail a departure from the limits which are generally recognized internationally at present, we have up till now refrained from bringing about such an extension by reason, amongst others, of the problems connected with the enforcement thereof.

 Mr. J. W. E. WILEY:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of the reply of the hon. the Minister, may I ask him whether he is aware of the extension of the fishery zones off the whole of the South American coast?

 The DEPUTY MINISTER:

Mr. Speaker, as far as I am aware, the position is that most countries at the present time, are within the 12-mile limit. That is where we are at the moment.

 Mr. J. W. E. WILEY:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of the hon. the Deputy Minister’s reply, is he not aware of the fact that some of the South American countries with big Ashing interests have extended their territorial seas and their fishery zones to up to 100 miles.

 The DEPUTY MINISTER:

Mr. Speaker, I am aware of that. However, our position is entirely different from those countries.

Replies standing over from Friday, 26th February, 1971

Prosecutions for contravening S.A. and S.W.A. territorial waters and fishery zones

The MINISTER OF JUSTICE replied to Question *6, by Mr. J. W. E. Wiley.

Question:
  1. (1) (a) How many prosecutions for contravening (i) South African and (ii) South-West African territorial waters and fishery zones have been instituted during the past five years and (b) how many were successful;
  2. (2) whether any foreign vessels were the subject of such prosecutions; if so, which foreign vessels.
 Reply:
  1. (1)
    1. (a) (i) None. (ii) Three.
    2. (b) One.
  2. (2) No.
 Mr. J. W. E. WILEY:

Mr. Speaker, arising out of the hon. the Minister’s reply, is it correct that our South African naval vessels have been patrolling the coasts of South Africa and South-West Africa since 1961 against foreigners?

 The MINISTER:

The hon. member must table the question.

 ISCOR and steel shortage

The MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS replied to Question *17, by Mr. S. Emdin.

Question:
  1. (1) Whether the Iron and Steel Industrial Corporation is at present able to meet the demand for steel; if not, (a) what categories of steel are in short supply, (b) what steps are being taken to meet any shortages and (c) when is it anticipated that full supplies in each category will be available;
  2. (2) whether the Corporation makes available to buyers of its products schedules of future availability in each category of steel manufactured; if so, for what forward period; if not, why not;
  3. (3) whether he will make a statement on the present steel position.
 Reply:
  1. (1) No.
    1. (a) Most types of steel products.
    2. (b) When it became clear during the first half of last year that the Republic was heading for a steel shortage, earnest endeavours were made by ISCOR, in co-operation with the other steel producers, to meet the position by making as accurate an assessment as possible of the expected shortage, by reprogramming production and by importing stocks that could not be timeously produced locally. Since July, 1970, orders for the importation of approximately 600 000 metric tons were placed while further orders for approximately 200 000 tons are being placed at present. Deliveries are in progress and are expected to be completed by July of this year. Exports of steel products have in the meanwhile been limited to the absolute minimum, mainly to meet the requirements for urgent projects in neighbouring states.
    3. (c) By June or July of this year.
  2. (2) No; on account of the wide range of products being used and the complexity of planning, which, moreover, varies from quarter to quarter, it is not possible to make available fixed time schedules. Buyers are, however, informed by ISCOR three to six months in advance of the programming of their requirements from production and imports.
  3. (3) No; in view of the replies I have given to (1) and (2) above, I do not think it is necessary to make a further statement.

For written reply:

  4. (4) Yes; the company’s case was based on its then existing rights for the exploitation of certain minerals and the creation of an economic growth point in the undeveloped northern region of South-West Africa by the provision of a harbour, access roads and other services, which facilities were visualized in the report of the Odendaal Commission.

These assets were to become the property of the Administration. On completion of the harbour and the fish meal factory, the second quota of 90 000 tons was to be made available for processing under the conditions already mentioned.

Furthermore, arrangements were made for the accumulated trust funds to be used for the completion of an access road and landing strip, as well as other works in the discretion of the trust board. Negotiations are proceeding at present with the object of reviewing the position afresh;
    2. (b) for reviewing further the extent of pelagic fishing operations on the South-West African coast for conservational reasons.
  5. (5) Yes; in respect of funds accruing to the trust board. Sarusas, however, is liable for tax on any profits accruing to it.
    1. (a) Because the trust funds are utilized for the creation of assets which become the property of the State.
