To ask the Presiding Officer whether the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body plans to provide parliamentary information via teletext services.
Answer
At present the SPCB has no plans to establish its own teletext Parliamentary Information Service. Comprehensive parliamentary information is publicly available on the Parliament website, which also contains all press releases. The information on the website is used extensively by media and broadcast companies and is often reproduced in teletext services such as BBC Scotland's Ceefax Politics pages.

To ask the Scottish Executive which organisations and individuals it invited to submit views on supporter involvement in football after the publication of New Mutualism - A Golden Goal and whether copies of responses received have been or will be made available to MSPs.
Answer
We invited views from the Scottish Football Association, the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Professional Footballers Association and the Scottish Federation of Football Supporters.
Copies of responses are not being made public by the Scottish Executive because our approach to these bodies was made on an informal basis and they were not advised that this would be done. It is, of course, open to you to approach the organisations concerned direct to seek their views on supporter involvement in football.
