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 when it expects to meet target 9 of the social justice section of its 2003-06 spending proposals.
Answer
We are increasing opportunities for people to get involved in volunteering through the Active Communities Initiative, the expansion of the volunteer centre network and the continuation of the Millennium Volunteers programme. The focus of these programmes is to tackle the obstacles to volunteering opportunities, raise awareness about volunteering and to provide training and support. These objectives do not readily lend themselves to quantifiable targets. Similarly, we will continue to promote equality mainstreaming throughout the period 2003-06 and Building A Better Scotland sets out what we intend to achieve over the next three years.
