Answer
The Getting it Right for Every Child programme is a long-term transformational change programme across services'' culture, systems and practice to improve outcomes for children and young people across Scotland. It is being developed through pathfinder projects and learning partnerships rather than legislation and thus does not impose any statutory obligations although the relevant police forces are key partners in these projects.

To ask the Scottish Executive what obligations are placed on the prosecution service as a result of the Getting it Right for Every Child programme.
Answer
The Getting it Right for Every Child programme is a long-term transformational change programme across services'' culture, systems and practice to improve outcomes for children and young people across Scotland. It is being developed through pathfinder projects and learning partnerships rather than legislation and thus does not impose any statutory obligations. As the programme focuses on ensuring that children and young people receive appropriate, proportionate and timely support its implications, in terms of the criminal justice system, are more for the police as a service responding immediately to children and young people who may have support needs rather than the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service.

To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions have taken place with the fishing industry regarding the quota settlement.
Answer
There are multifarious parts to the quota settlement which impact on the management of fisheries. Since December there has been discussion of many aspects of the settlement in a number of government/industry groups including the Scottish Fisheries Council and its constituent subgroups, the West of Scotland Task Force and the Conservation Credits Group. I have also met with fishing associations across Scotland to hear at first hand how the quota settlement and associated conditions are impacting on fishermen.
