Parliament is built on a former brewery site and there is an expression about organising a proverbial something or other in a brewery; the Executive has not managed to do that on this occasion and should hang its head in shame.
Our targets are set in relation to the plan and are approved by that advisory group. There is also the higher still liaison group. The liaison group is a working group, which was set up alongside the implementation group by the Scottish Executive.
That is happening through the national minimum wage and working families tax credit, including the child care credit, which help to support families on low incomes.
I hope that it will be the beginning of links to other regional Parliaments, which will give us an opportunity for closer liaison and for learning about and sharing good practice.
