To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will reconsider the use of a card-only till in the garden level restaurant.
Answer
The SPCB recentlyconsidered this issue and agreed to continue with the current arrangements inthe meantime. I would encourage all members to use the cashless system, as itensures that everyone gets through both tills as quickly as possible. To makethe system more convenient to use, we will be installing an additional cashloader at the servery entrance. We will of course continue to monitor thesystem.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the preparatory work and ballot costs were for each ballot on local authority housing whole stock transfer since 1999.
Answer
The Scottish Executiveprovides councils and RSLs with a grant to meet transfer support costs,including the costs associated with tenant consultation, conducting a ballot,conveyancing, etc. Since 2004, the level of financial assistance available to councilsjoining the community ownership programme has been based on a unit cost whichranges from £209 to £397 per unit depending on the total number of housestransferring. A separate grant ranging from £163 to £268 per unit is available forreceiving landlords. These grants are not allocated to specific tasks and it isfor the parties themselves to manage the entire transfer process within theseamounts and, if necessary, to meet any additional costs from their ownresources.
