To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has any plans to review restrictions on the political activities of local authority employees and what the timescale is for implementing any such plans.
We consulted on the issue of political restrictions in the Green Paper on local government, published in November 2000. Specific proposals on political restrictions will be included in the Local Government Consultative Document due to be published before the Easter Recess.
