General Affairs:

Police: money paid to public 129. Mr S S VAN DER MERWE

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

Whether any money was paid to members of the public in 1987 in respect of (a) assault by members of the Police Force and (b) unlawful arrest; if so, (i) what was the total amount paid and (ii) in respect of how many complaints in each category?

The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:

(a) and (b)

In the 1987 calender year, the South African Police dealt with 1,4 million complaints which were reported at 1532 reporting offices. Conservatively calculated, at least 20 million man hours of duty were performed (administrative duties excluded), during which members of the Force were in constant interaction with the public, criminals, usurpers, rioters, revolutionary activists, and radicals. On close examination almost every complaint dealt with by the South African Police, contains the potential for conflict. Conflict is in itself the largest source of civil claims against the South African Police. Therefore, the fact that only 3240 civil claims were lodged against the South African Police, which represents a meagre 0,23%of the total number of complaints, is particularly pleasing.

However, experience has shown that detailed information regarding civil claims has in the past been abused by some newspapers to create a biased and distorted perception of the South African Police. The Force has inter alia been presented as an organisation which can only carry out its task through the use of force. In this regard I refer in particular to a report in the Sunday Tribune of 29 March 1987 under the heading “THE PRICE OF POLICE ASSAULTS”. Furthermore I wish to point out to the honourable member that payments are only made after court judgements or after thorough investigation by the legal teams of claimants, the South African Police and the State Attorney. Furthermore, all payments are audited by the Auditor-General who submits a report to Parliament in this regard.

Taking everything into account and especially in view of the fact that there is proper Parliamentary notice and control over the spending of the funds concerned, seen against the unfounded and harmful misuse thereof, the requested information is not furnished.

However, should the honourable member approach me for this information, I am prepared to furnish it to him on a personal and confidential basis.

State of emergency: incidents 247. Mr S S VAN DER MERWE

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

  1. (1) Whether he will furnish statistics on persons involved in incidents related to the current state of emergency; if not, why not; if so, how many persons (a) had been (i) killed and (ii) injured by (aa) members of the South African Police and (bb) any other specified persons and (b) had been (i) detained and (ii) arrested by the Police in connection with such incidents since 12 June 1987 as at the latest specified date for which information is available;
  2. (2) whether any member of the Police were (a) killed and (b) injured in unrest during the above-mentioned period; if so, how may in each case;
  3. (3) what were the causes of the (a) deaths and (b) injuries in respect of (i) civilians and (ii) policemen during this period?
The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:

(1) to (3)

Although I am in favour or releasing as much information as possible, I wish to point out to the honourable member that in the past, extra-parliamentary activists and radical groups, among others the banned South African Communist Party, the ANC and the UDF, have in the most dreadful way misued this type of information for their own revolutionary and propaganda purposes, to the detriment of South Africa and the majority of its people.

Furthermore, intimidation was rampant during the large-scale unrest and attempts to make the country ungovernable. Murder and assault of members of the Security Forces and law-abiding persons, as well as serious crime against their property, was aimed at intimidating everybody who favours peaceful reform in the country. I am not prepared to contribute to such a campaign of slander and intimidation by making known this information.

At the same time I would like to point out to the honourable member, that in all cases where persons are killed or injured by anyone, the recognised and trusted legal process of the land takes its normal course. Such cases are investigated thoroughly and, if warranted, come before our courts, where they are tried by competent and independent jurists.

Taking everything into consideration, I am therefore convinced that it is not in the best interests of our country and its people to furnish the requested information.

Rioting: injuries/damage/arrests 250. Mr S S VAN DER MERWE

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

  1. (1) How many members of the South African Police were (a) killed and (b) injured in the Republic in attempts to contain rioting in 1987;
  2. (2) (a) how many buildings belonging to (i) the State and (ii) private individuals were destroyed or damaged as a result of rioting in 1987 and (b) what is the estimated (i) value of the buildings so destroyed and (ii) amount of damage so sustained;
  3. (3) (a) how many arrests of civilians were made in this connection in 1987, (b) on what charges were they arrested and (c) how many such civilians were still being detained as at the latest specified date for which figures are available?
The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:
  1. (1) (a) 16 members
    1. (b) 148 members
  2. (2) (a) and (b) I do not consider it in the public interest or in the interest of the country to furnish this information.
  3. (3) (a) 1895 persons
    1. (b) On charges of various crimes inter alia:

      Public violence

      Malicious damage to property Intimidation

    2. (c) 185 persons awaiting trial on 11 February 1988.

NOTE: A large percentage of the persons referred to in paragraph 3(a) above had already been tried and convicted.

Caiphus Nyoka: inquest 253. Mr S S VAN DER MERWE

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

  1. (1) Whether, with reference to his reply to Question No 20 on 8 September 1987, an inquest was held or is to be held into the death of Caiphus Nyoka in Daveyton on or about 24 August 1987; if not, why not; if so, when;
  2. (2) whether a post-mortem was held following the death of this person; if not, why not; if so, when;
  3. (3) whether any persons were arrested or detained by the Police at the time Caiphus Nyoka was shot; if so, (a) what are their names, (b) in terms of what statutory provisions were they arrested or detained in each case and (c) what was the status of these persons as at the latest specified date for which information is available?
The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:
  1. (1) Yes, on 25 and 26 February 1988.
  2. (2) Yes, on 26 August 1987.
  3. (3) (a) to (c) Yes, five persons were arrested in terms of section 51(1) and (4) of the Internal Security Act, 1982 (Act 74 of 1982). Three of these persons were released on 26 August 1987. The other two persons are at present awaiting trial on charges of Terrorism in terms of section 54(1) of the Internal Security Act, 1982 (Act 74 of 1982) and will be tried on 13 July 1988. However, it is not in the interests of these persons or anybody else to furnish their names.
Unrest: deaths/injuries 276. Mr R R HULLEY

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

  1. (1) With regard to 1987, (a) what total number of persons was (i) killed and (ii) injured in unrest, (b) how were they killed or injured in each case, (c) how many persons were killed or injured by members of the South African Police acting in the course of duty and (d) how many persons were killed or injured by gunshots;
  2. (2) whether any members of the Police were (a) killed and (b) injured in unrest 1987; if so, (i) how many and (ii) what was the cause of death or injury in each case?
The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:

(1) and (2)

I refer the honourable member to my reply to written question 247 which I also regard to be a sufficient answer to this question.

Overseas visits 578. Mr P G SOAL

asked the Minister of National Education:

  1. (1) Whether he undertook any overseas visits in 1987; if so, (a) which countries were visited and (b) what was the purpose of each visit;
  2. (2) whether he was accompanied by any representatives of the media on these visits; if so, (a) what were the names of the journalists involved, (b) which newspapers or radio or television networks did they represent, (c) to which countries did each of these persons accompany him and (d) why;
  3. (3) whether any costs were incurred by his Department as a result; if so, what total amount in that year?
The MINISTER OF NATIONAL EDUCATION:
  1. (1) No
  2. (2) Lapses
  3. (3) Lapses
Extradition treaties with other countries 997. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) Whether South Africa has extradition treaties with other countries; if not, under what circumstances are persons extradited from South Africa; if so, with how many countries;
  2. (2) whether he will furnish the names of these countries; if not, why not; if so, what are their names?
The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:
  1. (1) Yes. South Africa has extradition treaties with certain countries. If a person commits an offence within the jurisdiction of a foreign State which is not a party to an extradition agreement, such a person would also be liable to be surrendered to such foreign State with the written consent of the State President in accordance with the provisions of the Extradition Act, 1962 (Act 67 of 1962). The number of countries with which South Africa has extradition treaties cannot be given since previously the United Kingdom had entered into a number of extradition agreements that were also applied to South Africa and whereas in terms of the Extradition Act, 1962 South Africa declared itself to continue to be bound by those extradition agreements still in force at that time, the question as to which of those extradition agreements can be said to be in force now, will depend on the particular circumstances of every case.
  2. (2) For the reasons mentioned in (1) above, no complete list of countries with which South Africa has extradition agreements is available. Should the honourable Member want information about any particular country, he can approach the Department of Justice who will provide him with all the necessary information.

Institutions for juvenile offenders 1067. Mr J B DE R VAN GEND

asked the Minister of Education and Development Aid:

  1. (1) (a) How many (i) schools of industry, (ii) reform schools and (iii) other institutions for the accommodation of juvenile offenders falling under the Department of Education and Training were there in the Republic, and (b) what number of pupils did each accommodate, as at (aa) the latest specified date for which information is available and (bb) the same date five years previously;
  2. (2) where is each of these schools or institutions situated?
The MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT AID:
  1. (1)
    1. (a) (i) Two schools of industries.
      1. (ii) One reform school
      2. (ii) None
    2. (b) (aa) None
      1. (bb) None

        According to planning these schools will only start admitting pupils as from the end of July 1988 and will eventually together accommodate 936 pupils.

  2. (2) Refer to 1(a)(i) and (ii).

    Schools of Industry: Simondium and Kinross.

    Reform School: Rawsonville.

Condition of release of prisoners 1078. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) Whether the renunciation of violence has been dropped as a condition of release in respect of prisoners serving sentences for crimes against the security of the State; if so, (a) with effect from what date and (b) what effect is this step anticipated to have on such prisoners in general;
  2. (2) whether it is the intention of the Government to release Nelson Mandela on this basis; if so, when; if not, why not?
The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:

(1) and (2)

The release policy which applies with regard to prisoners in general is also applicable to prisoners who were sentenced for offences against the security of the State. This release policy has a scientific basis in which criminological and penological principles were duly taken into account. Considering factors such as inter alia the aims with which the sentence was imposed, interests of the community and the State, the nature of the crime and the motive underlying it, the length of the sentence and time served, previous criminal record if any, the prisoner’s reaction to the sentence imposed and the overall personality and predisposition of the prisoner himself, it follows that the renunciation of violence could, like any other single positive factor, contribute to a positive prognosis, but cannot be the determining factor in its own right.

In considering each individual case, the State has to be guided by the relevant advisory bodies instituted by law.

It is not possible to speculate upon the possibile release of individual prisoners. The honourable member is also referred to the State President’s speech in this House on 13 August 1987 as published in the Hansard, column 3758 - 3760.

Loss of teachers 1079. Mr R M BURROWS

asked the Minister of Education and Development Aid:

How many (a) permanent and (b) temporary teachers did his Department lose in each region in 1986 and 1987, respectively, (i) on account of (aa) marriage, (bb) retirement, (cc) ill health, (dd) termination of service, (ee) death, (ff) the acceptance of non-teaching posts and (gg) further study and (ii) for other reasons?

The MINISTER OF EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT AID:

This Department does not function according to provincial borders, but is divided into seven regions. Information required is not kept according to regions, but is given in total for the Department.

Offences against security of State 1095. Mrs H SUZMAN

asked the Minister of Justice:

The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:

The prisoners are serving sentences of imprisonment after having been tried, convicted and sentenced by courts of law. The details of each trial, including the names of the accused are matters of public record. I am not prepared, after some time has now passed, to publish particulars of people and their criminal records unless good reasons exist why it is necessary to do so in the public interest.

The honourable member is also referred to my replies to Question No 346 on 4 March 1988 as well as No 464 on 16 March 1988.

Psychopaths 1146. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) Whether certified psychopaths sentenced for rape and/or murder are released from prison after serving their sentences; if so,
  2. (2) whether any precautions are taken to ensure that such persons do not commit further crimes of violence after their release from prison; if so, what precautions;
  3. (3) (a) what treatment is given to certified psychopaths while they are in prison and (b) what success has been achieved through such treatment?
The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:
  1. (1) No.
  2. (2) Falls away.
  3. (3) (a) and (b)

    The treatment of certified psychopaths is based on a therapeutic community philosophy which implies total treatment. The treatment is divided into three phases of progressive promotion units which last a minimum period of four years. The maximum period is determined by the progress of the individual. The programme makes use of a behaviour therapy and in particular of a token economy which implies that performance is coupled with the allocation/deprivation of privileges in institutional context which is connected to the treatment programme. The treatment team consists of a consulting psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, social worker, educationist, nursing personnel, workshop personnel and custodial personnel. If two medical practitioners certify in writing that a mentally ill prisoner has recovered to such an extent that his detention in a hospital prison is no longer necessary, he is returned to a prison to serve his sentence or unexpired portion thereof. His release from prison is handled by the statutory bodies which exist for this purpose. However, if one month before the expiry of his sentence of imprisonment such prisoner is still mentally ill to such a degree that it is necessary that he be detained in the hospital prison, a judge may in terms of section 19, read together with section 34 of the Mental Health Act, 1973, make an order for his further detention for such period as he may deem necessary.

    Up to 23 May 1988 a total of 111 certified psycopaths were admitted and 64 of them have already been released after being decertified. Of these 64, a total of 44 have been released for longer than 3 years, and of the said 44 a total of 31 have not relapsed into crime which brings the success rate to 70,45%.

Psychopaths 1148. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) Whether a certain convicted person, whose name has been furnished to the Minister’s Department for the purpose of his reply, received psychopath treatment while serving his prison sentence; if so, (a) for what period and (b) what is his name;
  2. (2) whether this person was cleared for release from prison at the end of his treatment period; if so, (a) by whom and (b) on what basis;
  3. (3) whether any certified psychopaths are currently serving continued detention as a result of dissatisfaction on the part of hospital prison personnel with their progress after treatment; if so, how many;
  4. (4) whether any decertified psychopaths were released from prison over the past 10 years; if so, (a) how many and (b) what percentage of such persons is it estimated has returned to crime;
  5. (5) whether his Department has evaluated this percentage in terms of the rate of return to crime by other criminals; if so, what are the relevant particulars?
The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:
  1. (1) Yes
    1. (a) 3 January 1977 till 25 September 1985.
    2. (b) The person whose name was furnished to the Department.
  2. (2) (a) and (b)

    The Mental Health Act, 1973 (Act 18 of 1973) as amended provides that a prisoner who is certified as a psychopath can be decertified if two doctors certify in writing that he has recovered to such a degree that his detention in the hospital prison for psychopaths is no longer necessary. The person concerned was decertified on 25 September 1985 and was transferred to a prison to serve his sentence of imprisonment imposed by the court. He was released on the expiration of his sentence on 1 May 1986.

  3. (3) Yes, two (2).
  4. (4) (a) and (b)

    The honourable member is referred to my reply to my reply to Written Question No 1146.

  5. (5) Research concerning parole successes by Van der Westhuizen and Oosthuizen during 1983 with regard to parole prisoners in general indicated a success rate of 70,2%, while the success rate regarding the 44 decertified psychopaths who were already released for longer than three years can be estimated on 70,45%.
Decentralization plan 1149. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Constitutional Development and Planning:

  1. (1) Whether provision has been made for beneficiaries of the decentralization plan to pay their employees amounts less than the monthly subsidy of R110,00 per worker; if so, under what circumstances;
  2. (2) whether any precautions are taken to ensure that claims are not submitted in respect of non-existent employees; if not, why not; if so, (a) what precautions and (b) by whom?
The MINISTER OF CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING:
  1. (1) Concessionaries under the government’s regional industrial development incentive scheme are not prescribed to as to what wages should be paid to employees. The employment subsidy formula does not consist of a monitary amount only, eg a maximum subsidy of R110 per worker per month (highest level provided for in the scheme). The employment subsidy formula also provides for a percentage of the actual remuneration with a maximum amount per worker per month, eg 95%of the remuneration with a maximum of say R110 per worker per month. The formula is furthermore applied separately to wages under R120 per worker per month and salaries and wages above R120 per worker per month.

    Should a firm pay its workers less than the maximum subsidy amount (eg R110 per month) the subsidy is calculated as 95%of the actual wages paid. Consequently industrialists cannot derive an unfair advantage from the incentive scheme by paying their employees low wages.

  2. (2) Yes.
    1. (a) (i) Industrialists are required to submit their quarterly employment claims on a standardised claim form which has to be certified by the industry’s Public Officer.
      1. (ii) In addition all quarterly employment subsidy claims must be reconciled and certified annually by an external auditor. The auditors, amongst others, attend wage payouts.
      2. (iii) No claims of a new undertaking are paid before an inspection of the undertaking has been carried out by the Regional Representative of the Decentralisation Board.
      3. (iv) Furthermore the Inspectorate of the Decentralisation Board conducts regular inspections of firms, during which head-counts of employees are amongst others performed.
    2. (b) The Decentralisation Board and external auditors.

      (In terms of the Board’s official Manual, attempts at fraud can result in the permanent withdrawal of firms’ concessions and criminal prosecution.)

Goosen lawsuit 1152. Mr D J DALLING

asked the Minister of Law and Order:

  1. (1) Whether, in the case of The State versus Goosen and another, the South African Police are financing or contributing to the financing of the defendants; if so, (a) what total amount has been paid in this regard to date and (b) what is the projected estimated cost of the whole trial;
  2. (2) whether counsel for the defence is acting for agreed fees; if so, (a) what are the agreed fees and (b) on what basis are they being paid;
  3. (3) whether the South African Police are financing or contributing to the financing of expert evidence; if so, (a) what expert evidence and (b) what total amount has been paid in this regard to date;
  4. (4) (a) for how many days has the trial been before the court and (b) in respect of what date is the above information furnished?
The MINISTER OF LAW AND ORDER:
  1. (1) and (2)

    Yes. An agreement was made with the council for the defence regarding the fees that would be payable for their professional services. Fees that are paid for professional services, is a confidential matter which I am not prepared to divulge. However, should the honourable member approach me, I am prepared to furnish him with the information on a personal and confidential basis.

  2. (3) Yes
    1. (a) A psychiatrist and a pathologist
    2. (b) I refer the honourable member to my reply in paragraphs (1) and (2) above.
  3. (4) (a) 78 court days
    1. (b) 22 June 1988.
Judges and magistrates: visits to prisons 1153. Mr D J DALLING

asked the Minister of Justice:

  1. (1) How many visits were conducted by (a) judges and (b) magistrates in order to see prisoners or detainees in (i) prisons and/or (ii) police cells during the period 1 April 1987 up to and including 31 March 1988;
  2. (2) whether any reports were submitted by (a) judges and (b) magistrates to the Commissioner of Police and/or his Department arising out of such visits; if so, (i) how many, (ii) what was the gravamen of each such report and (iii) what was the response thereto in each case?
The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:
  1. (1) and (2)

    In terms of Prisons Regulation 104 (2) (a) judges of the Supreme Court of South Africa have the authority to visit any prison in any part of the Republic of South Africa unannounced at any time and also have access to all sections of a prison.

    Besides this, I have also made a special arrangement with Judges President to grant judges special opportunity to evaluate the circumstances from time to time under which persons are detained in terms of the Emergency Regulations and to submit reports in this regard.

    It is practice that matters which fall within the jurisdiction of other departments be referred to the ministers or heads of departments concerned. In addition, judges may submit reports to the Commissioner of Police after visiting police cells and I am therefore not in a position to furnish details regarding such reports.

    As was mentioned in my reply to Question No 232 on 25 March 1988, heads of prisons submit a return regarding such visits to Prisons Headquarters every six months for central statistical purposes. This procedure also applies to visits by magistrates and it is therefore not possible to furnish the information on the basis as requested by the honourable member. For the period 1 July 1987 to 31 December 1987 judges and magistrates visited prisons on 100 occasions and 555 occasions respectively. This does not include visits to police cells.

    Besides the above-mentioned reports a judge may report to the Commissioner in respect of any matter which he considers should be brought to the Commissioner’s notice. This principle also applies to magistrates and reports therefore cover a wide variety of aspects regarding prisons under the auspices of the SA Prisons Service. It is therefore not possible to deal with this matter within the scope of this reply. However, these reports are thoroughly attended to and judges and magistrates receive report back on issues raised by them.

Police reservists: leave facilities 1163. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Economic Affairs and Technology:

Whether specific leave facilities are available to police reservists in the employ of the statutory and/or parastatal bodies under his control; if not, why not; if so, what are (a) these facilities and (b) the names of these bodies?

The MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS AND TECHNOLOGY:

Yes, except in the case of the Estate Agents Board where the question of leave facilities for police reservists has not arisen thus far and a policy decision in this respect has not yet been taken by the Board.

Consumers: exploitation 1166. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Economic Affairs and Technology:

  1. (1) (a) What steps are taken by his Department to protect the South African consumer against exploitation and (b) in terms of what statutory provisions are such steps taken;
  2. (2) (a) how many infringements of these statutory provisions were reported to his Department over the latest specified five-year period for which figures are available and (b) how many such infringements were in respect of (i) price collusion, (ii) quality control and (iii) any other specified irregularities;
  3. (3) whether his Department conducted any investigations into these infringements; if so, with what results?
The MINISTER OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS AND TECHNOLOGY:
  1. (1)
    1. (a) The functions of the Department of Trade and Industry with regard t the protection of consumers against exploitation include, amongst others, routine inspections at manufacturers, packers, wholesalers and retailers in order to determine whether effect is given to the provisions of certain consumer oriented legislation which is administered by the Department. Furthermore, investigations are conducted into specific complaints related to the relevant legislation and which are received directly from consumers or via the South African Coordinating Consumer Council.
    2. (b) The steps mentioned under (1)(a) are taken in terms of the following legislation:
      • — The Trade Metrology Act, 1973 (Act 77 of 1973)
      • — The Price Control Act, 1964 (Act 25 of 1964)
      • — The Credit Agreements Act, 1980 (Act 75 of 1980)
      • — The Trade Practices Act, 1976 (Act 76 of 1976)
      • — The Measuring Units and National Measuring Standards Act, 1973 (Act 76 of 1973)
  2. (2) (a) Particulars for the period 1 January 1983 to 31 December 1987 are as follows:

    1. (b) (i) Price collusion, particulars of which are not included under (2)(a), falls under the Competition Board which is an independent statutory body and functions in terms of the Maintenance and Promotion of Competition Act, 1979 (Act 96 of 1979). The application of this Act with regard to the assignment of powers, duties and activities was entrusted to the Minister of Administration and Privatisation with effect from 31 March 1988.

      During the five years to 30 March 1988, when the Competition Board still fell under the Minister of Economic Affairs and Technology, 21 cases of alleged price collusion were reported to the Board.

      1. (ii) Quality control, particulars of which are also not included under (2)(a), falls under the Standards Act, 1982 (Act 30 of 1982) which is administered by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). The SABS promotes quality through the use of the SABS mark scheme. The standards mark on a product serves as a guarantee by the manufacturer to the consumer that the produt conforms to the requirements of the relevant standard specification. The SABS ensures through regular inspections that the product does, in fact, conform to the requirements. Should a consumer purchase a mark-bearing product which does not conform to the specified requirements, and should he approach the SABS, the Bureau will take the matter up on his behalf with the manufacturer. It the Minister, under the Standards Act, 1982, proclaims a specification as a compulsory specification, nobody may sell a product which does not conform to that specification. The SABS controls that products sold in the RSA conform to the applicable compulsory specifications.
      2. (iii) The contraventions mentioned under (2) (a) are of a divergent nature and specific particulars thereof are not readily available. Furthermore, complaints not related to the provisions of the Acts administered by the Department of Trade and Industry are referred to the appropriate consumer organisations, such as the Advertising Standards Authority, as well as to other government departments, such as the South African Police and the Department of Finance.

        The Competition Board has dealt with 9 cases other than price collusion. These cases related to market division, collusion on conditions of supply and tenders.

  2. (3) Yes. legal proceedings instituted and convictions obtained during the period 1 January 1983 to 31 December 1987 are as follows:

Trade Metrology Act

Price Control Act

Credit Agreements Act

Trade Practices Act

Measuring Units and National Measuring Standards Act

TOTAL

4 834

6 098

12 368

The Competition Board has investigated the 30 alleged contraventions mentioned under (2)(b)(i) and (iii). In 5 cases the practices were ceased by the parties concerned and in 21 cases the evidence was not sufficient to institute legal proceedings or the Board was of the opinion that no contraventions were committed. The remaining 4 cases were still being dealt with on 30 March 1988.

Note:

Apart from the Acts mentioned under (1) (b) the Department of Trade and Industry also administers a number of other Acts which offer protection to consumers, including four Acts relating to the purchase of fixed property and five Acts relating to tourism.

The MINISTER FOR ADMINISTRATION AND PRIVATISATION:

To furnish the Honourable Member with the information in the requested forma, the individual files of approximately 70 000 staff members receiving housing subsidies will have to be consulted. Due to the magnitude of the task, the requested information can not be furnished.

Residence permits: persons of Eastern European origin 1256. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Home Affairs:

Deferment of tax 1261. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of Finance:

  1. (1) (a) Under what conditions may companies apply for deferment of the tax payable by them to the State and (b) for what periods are they granted deferment;
  2. (2) whether the Receiver of Revenue receives interest on such deferred tax; if so, at what rate; if not, why not?
The MINISTER OF FINANCE:
  1. (1) (a) The Income Tax Act provides that “any tax chargeable shall be paid on such days and at such places as may be notified by the Commissioner or as specified in this Act, and may be paid in one sum or in instalments of equal or varying amounts as may be determined by the Commissioner having regard to the circumstances of the case”. While the Commissioner is thus empowered to defer the payment of tax there are no prescribed conditions attaching to such deferment.
    1. (b) The period of deferment depends on the circumstances of the case, the Receiver of Revenue concerned having regard to factors such as the financial position of the taxpayer, the amount of tax payable and whether the taxpayer has a good or bad taxpaying record.
  2. (2) Where income tax is not paid in full within the prescribed period, interest is payable at the rate of 15%per annum on the outstanding balance in respect of each completed month during which any portion of the tax remains unpaid.

    In the case of sales tax where due to circumstances beyond the control of the person liable for the payment of tax the amount of tax due cannot be accurately determined within the time allowed, the Commissioner may, subject to such conditions as he may impose, accept a provisional payment. Any shortfall determined in relation to the actual liability as finally determined is subject to interest at the rate of 10%per annum in respect of the period reckoned from the day after the date by which the tax should have been paid in full to the date of payment of the shortpaid amount.

Number of first-year students 1263. Mr K M ANDREW

asked the Minister of National Education:

The MINISTER OF NATIONAL EDUCATION:

No. The Department of National Education does, however, keep statistics on first-time entering undergraduate students. A first-time entering undergraduate student is defined as a student who has not previously been registered at any post-secondary education institution.

The numbers of White, Coloured, Indian and Black first-time entering undergraduate enrolled students at each university for the years 1983 to 1986 are given in the attached table.
