Table 1 contains data on the level of manufacturing employment in Scotland, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, and Stirling in each quarter since January 2001.

Data contained within the table are estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) which is carried out by the Office for National Statistics. The LFS measures all those in employment including employees, family workers and self employed people. The LFS is a household survey, so the estimates reflect where people live rather than where they work.

Table 1 reports the number of employees in the manufacturing industry in the areas requested each year since 1999.

Table 2 reports the percentage of the workforce employed in the manufacturing industry in the areas requested each year since 1999.

The estimates in both tables are from the Annual Business Inquiry employee analysis (1999-2003).

The most recent year information is available is for 2003 and data is not available for Inverness but is available for Highland Council area.

In 2005, courts throughout Scotland will continue to have access to a range of community based penalties which contain an element of community reparation. These include both Community Service Orders and Probation Orders - where the court has imposed an additional condition of unpaid work in the community. Supervised Attendance Orders, which are a penalty for fine default, can also include a requirement to carry out unpaid work within the community.

 In addition, from spring of this year both District and Sheriff Courts in the Dundee, Inverness and Greenock areas will have access to a new Community Reparation Order, provided for within the Anti-Social Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004, as part of a two year Scottish Executive funded pilot scheme.

The role of the Executive is to ensure that courts have access to a sufficient range of appropriately resourced sentencing options. Sentencing decisions are for the courts. There is a continuing increase in the use by courts of community based penalties, including Community Service Orders, which provide for reparation to be made to communities through a specified period of unpaid work. The 1% increase in the number of Community Service Orders in 2003-04 followed a 13% increase the previous year. Similarly there was a 10% increase in 2003-04 in the number of Supervised Attendance Orders, which contain an element of community reparation, imposed by courts in dealing with fine defaulters.

A new development for 2005-06 is commencement of two year Executive funded pilots of Community Reparation Orders to deal with anti-social behaviour. Both District and Sheriff Courts within the pilot areas of Dundee, Inverness and Greenock will have access to this new sentence. As a statutory duty local authorities require to carry out consultation of appropriate groups within their areas on the nature of placements to be carried out by those subject to a Community Reparation Order.

The Scottish Executive has a commitment to ensure that there are 53,000 teachers in publicly funded schools by 2007. No decision has been taken on numbers for future years but the Executive is always committed to and bound in law to endeavour to secure improvement in the quality of school education.

Statistics on the effectiveness of safety cameras in reducing casualties are reported in the independent Three-year Evaluation of the UK Safety Camera Programme. These relate only to safety camera partnerships that have been operational within the Programme for a full year to March 2003. It shows that the UK Safety Camera Programme had achieved the following at camera sites: 

Category	Reduction (Absolute Numbers)	Reduction (Percentage)
All killed and seriously injured casualties (KSIs)	870	39.9%
All Personal Injury Collisions (PICs)	4,030	32.6%
Pedestrian KSIs	131	35%
Pedestrian PICs	329	23%

Note: Figures are for April 2000 – March 2003 and for 24 UK safety camera partnerships that had been operating for at least one year.

The primary aim of the Safety Camera Programme is to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on Scotland’s roads. No detailed assessment has been made of the impact of speed cameras on emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
