To ask the Scottish Executive what weekly payment is made to 16 to18 year olds who are living independently, are not in full time education and not entitled to job-seekers allowance, broken down by local authority area.
Answer
The Executive considered ingeneral that Scottish Water’s delivery plan for 2006-10 was too provisional innature and identified potential obstacles to Scottish Water being able toachieve the Executive’s objectives for it without identifying how suchobstacles might be overcome. It considered in particular that the planenvisaged a significant delay in taking forward a number of important strategicissues, including the alleviation of development constraints, that it did notprovide for Scottish Water to out-perform the Water Industry Commission’sdetermination of water charges, and that it lacked a clear means by which the Executive could measure Scottish Water’s progress towards achievement of theobjectives.
