To ask the Scottish Executive whether the consultation code required under section 28 of the Water Industry (Scotland) Act 2002 has been submitted to ministers and when the code will be made publicly available.
It links to section 59, which deals with the code of practice. We are obliged to bring the code of practice before Parliament, which will deal with a number of specific points.
I also indicated that we plan to consider the statutory underpinning of the code of practice. I welcome the minister's comments about his consideration of the need to give statutory force to the measures that he outlined in his reply.
The outcome of this representation, and other similar representations, was the OFT’s announcement of an audit of the code, aimed at establishing the effectiveness of the code.
