To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has secured any investment to expand Waverley railway station.
Answer
To help inform the final design of the station and determine the necessary funding required to develop it, much technical investigative work has to be undertaken to assess, among other things, site conditions and new track and platform layouts. The Scottish Executive announced that it was making available up to £1 million to facilitate this work on 20 May 2002.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether guidance on the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 will include guidance to local authorities on the mix of social housing.
Answer
The Scottish Executive believes that the mix of social housing is a matter for local authorities to determine in accordance with local circumstances. It therefore does not wish to be prescriptive on what the mix should be. It does, however, offer local authorities general guidance on the preparation of their local housing strategies.
