Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what representations he has made to the Government of Uzbekistan about the rejection of the applications for registration by (a) the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan, (b) the Mazlum Human Rights Group, (c) Mothers Against the Death Penalty and Torture and (d) Democracy and Law; [208150] (2) if he will urge the Government of Uzbekistan to revise Cabinet of Ministers internal decree No. 523 in order to decrease the level of control over the activities of international non-governmental organisations; [208168] (3) if he will urge the Government of Uzbekistan to allow international non-governmental organisations and journalists to operate more freely in the country; [208169] (4) if he will urge the Government of Uzbekistan to revise Cabinet of Ministers decree No. 56 and other internal documents to reduce the level of Government control over financial assistance for non-governmental organisations; [208176] (5) if he will urge the Government of Uzbekistan to institute a simple and quick registration procedure for international and domestic non-governmental organisations. [208180] Mr. Rammell: Both bilaterally and with EU partners, we have regularly and repeatedly drawn our deep concern about the NGO climate in Uzbekistan to senior level attention within the Uzbek Government. In a letter to Uzbek Foreign Minister Safayev of November 2004, my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary reminded him that "the activities of civil society groups are an essential part of a healthy democracy." The EU, supported by the UK, issued a letter in December 2004 to Foreign Minister Safayev, which raised the repeated refusal to register Mothers Against the Death Penalty and Torture despite international recognition for its leader Tamara Chikunova. We are aware of the constraints placed upon the NGO community in Uzbekistan by the Cabinet of Ministers' decree No. 56 and internal decree No.523. It has been and will continue to be a fundamental aspect of our policy towards Uzbekistan to press for a freer environment in which the local and international NGO communities and journalists can work. In February 2004 the EU addressed a letter to the Minister of Justice, Mr. Polvon-Zoda, expressing concern that the government requirements for the registration of NGOs would prevent organisations such as Human Rights Watch, International Crisis Group and the Institute for War and Peace reporting from working and publishing. We will continue to stress the importance of putting in place procedures to allow the registration of both domestic and international NGOs.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what performance target was set for placements resulting from the National Adoption Register; [117271] (2) how many children have been placed with new families as a result of the introduction of the National Adoption Register; [117272] (3) what has been the total expenditure by his Department on the National Adoption Register since August 2001. [117273] Margaret Hodge: I have been asked to reply. No performance targets were set for the Adoption Register for England and Wales. It is expected that the Register will help us achieve our target to increase the number of adoptions from care by 50 per cent. by 2006. We have already increased adoptions by 25 per cent. and are on course to meet our target. Given the complexities governing the placement of children with adoptive families, we did not feel it would be appropriate to set a target for the Register. Our aim of course is to provide children with placements that meet their assessed needs. The needs of the children must be paramount in the process and it is vital that the Register provides viable links for suitable families who may be able to deal with the children's often very complex needs. In just one year the Register has become an established part of the adoption process with a national co-ordinating role. The register has generated 1,250 viable links across England and Wales that were agreed as worth exploring in detail by adoption agencies. At the end of October there had been 48 matches made between children and families. This means that there are 48 children who have found families as a result of links generated by the Register. The Register is being operated by Norwood under a three year contract with the Department of Health and National Assembly for Wales at a total cost of £633,333 plus VAT per annum. The current contract is due to end in August 2004. We will be reviewing the impact of the Register on the delivery of adoption services over the coming months.
