To ask the Scottish Executive what the impact of the reduction in the budget for initial teacher education will be on the number of places at the Moray House School of Education.
Answer
The allocation of places in initial teacher education to individual institutions is a matter for the Scottish Funding Council. Decisions on intakes in 2010 have yet to be finalised and the Funding Council will announce details in their annual grant announcement in March. However, ministers have made clear their views that due to unacceptable levels of teacher unemployment intakes should be cut. We are in discussions with universities as to how the impact of reductions in intakes can be managed.

To ask the Scottish Executive what action it has taken to deliver on the ministerial commitment at stage 2 of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Bill to provide £100,000 to establish a representative advocacy service at tribunals (Official Report c. 2194).
Answer
An amendment was passed at Stage 3 proceedings of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Bill on 20 May 2009 placing a new statutory requirement on Scottish Ministers to secure the provision of an advocacy service to be available on request and free of charge to support parents and young people in Tribunal proceedings.
My officials are currently developing the scope of this service and next month I will be considering how best it can be organised and funded. The new service will be established for commencement of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2009 which is expected to be in autumn 2010.
