To ask the Scottish Executive whether stock transfer is the only way to deliver warm, damp-free and structurally sound homes.
Answer
It is for councils and their tenants, in light of local circumstances, to decide how best to secure investment in council housing. The benefits of transfer include providing investment; giving tenants guarantees about future rent levels and investment programmes, and dealing with councils' historic housing debt.

To ask the Scottish Executive why the education indicator for target 3 of the social justice section of its 2003-06 spending proposals does not include the target of having exclusive access to at least four modern computers for every class.
Answer
Our intention was to select a small basket of indicators that would help us measure whether we are closing the gap between deprived areas and the rest of Scotland. The indicators were chosen from existing Executive portfolio and Social Justice targets, because they relate to the achievement of specific outcomes, are relevant for monitoring area-based deprivation relevant to the national average and because the necessary data will be available at local area level for the baseline year of 2003-04.

To ask the Scottish Executive what role UK Sport has in the (a) promotion, (b) regulation and (c) funding of sport in Scotland.
Answer
UK Sport has no role specific to Scotland. It is responsible for fostering, supporting and encouraging the development of sport and physical recreation in the UK as a whole with a particular focus on the Olympic sports (which are organised on a GB/UK basis) and the achievement of excellence. Its functions include support for GB/UK governing bodies of sport and governing body modernisation; advice on policies and practices on anti-doping and other ethical and equity issues, and it provides the central services for the UK Sports Institute. For these purposes, it receives annual grant-in-aid from DCMS. It is also a distributor for part of the Lottery Sports Fund, operating the World Class Performance Programme and the UK Major Events Programme.
