To ask the Scottish Executive how many people from deprived areas are currently prevented from entering work because of an absence of child care.
Answer
For parents living in deprived areas, the absence of affordable child care is one of the barriers to entering employment. The absence of appropriate skills, ill health, and/or access to places of employment are also impediments to entering work.The Scottish Executive is committed to removing the range of barriers that parents face to entering employment, and I recently announced an additional £20 million over 2004-06 to tackle some of these barriers in deprived areas, including access to child care.

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.
