To ask the Scottish Executive, with regard to its news release SE4054/2001 of 27 September 2001, what progress has been made with its mortgage to rent scheme in respect of the conditions and general workings of the scheme; how much of the available budget has been spent to date, and how many householders have taken part, or are likely to take part, in the scheme in each year for which funding has been allocated. I have asked Mr Bob Millar, Chief Executive of Communities Scotland to respond.
