(AQW 1828/11) First Minister and deputy First Minister (Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness): The Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister is the sponsoring body for the Commissioner for Children and Young People. In this role, we are obligated under Treasury guidance, the Management Statement and Financial Memorandum to carry out a review of the Commissioner every three years. The purpose of the review is to determine the value for money and the effectiveness and efficiency of the operation of the Commissioner within the legislative terms set out in the Commissioner for Children and Young People (NI) Order (2003). It also looks at how delivery of these services can be improved in the future. The first review of the Commissioner was carried out in 2007. A copy of the review report can be found on www.allchildrenni.gov.uk website. OFMDFM commissioned the second review of the Commissioner at the beginning of 2010. Information on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Commissioner will be detailed in the review report soon to be published. It would be premature to speculate at this time what the findings of the review will be. Comprehensive Spending Review Ms D Purvis asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister if they will make a statement to the Assembly on the implications for women of the Comprehensive Spending Review. (AQW 1837/11) First Minister and deputy First Minister: As we outlined in our answer to AQW 1613/11, dated 4 November 2010, the implications of the Comprehensive Spending Review settlement will be very challenging for all concerned. We will be doing everything we can to minimise its impact on Section 75 groups including women. As part of the outworkings of the budget process, departments will be paying due regard to their equality responsibilities and we will maintain this responsibility throughout our consideration of the Spending Review options and when making final budget decisions. Public Open Space Land Dr S Farry asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister how much public open space land is owned by their Department and its associated bodies. (AQW 1912/11) WA 205 Friday 12 November 2010 Written Answers First Minister and deputy First Minister: The Department and its associated bodies do not currently own any public open space land. However, the objective of the Peace Bridge and Parade Ground contracts at the Ebrington Barracks site is to create a public space at this historic site. Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Protection of Marine Environments Mr D Kinahan asked the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, in relation to the protection of marine environments, why her Department has yet to agree a position with the Department of the Environment on the boundaries of non-disturbance zones. (AQW 1647/11) Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (Ms M Gildernew): A position has been agreed with the Department of the Environment and my Department will now be bringing forward Regulations to establish sea fishing exclusion zones in the Lough. Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme Mr P J Bradley asked the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development for her assessment of the threat to pig producers as a result of the Irish Government’s introduction of a Sow Housing Welfare scheme, set up under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS); and whether she has any plans togive
