To ask the Scottish Executive, with reference to the report in Scotland on Sunday on 27 June 2004 relating to the tender and post-tender process followed by the City of Edinburgh Council for the #60 million extension to the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), (a) what information it has received about the matter, (b) whether the Executive has offered any advice to the council on the matter, (c) whether one bidder was permitted to alter the details of their bid after being named the preferred bidder, whether this procedure is in accordance with procurement law and whether the Executive has offered any advice on this matter and, if not, whether it will now do so, (d) whether one bidder, the Cala-Morrison consortium, was given specific information that other bidders did not receive, namely, that the council had agreed to rent the offices being built next to the EICC on a 20-year lease at #5.4 million a year, (e) whether providing information to one bidder and not other bidders is a breach of the rules and law governing the tender process, (f) what its position is on whether the council should invite all parties to resubmit their offers and what the reasons are for its position on the matter, (g) whether legal responsibility on such matters lies with the council and, if so, whether any extra costs that may result from, for example, any legal action in respect of any breach of the tender process, should be solely the responsibility of the council and not the Executive, (h) whether it will intervene in respect of this matter, (i) whether the Executive is in regular contact with the council in a similar manner to its regular contact with Her Majesty's Government, (j) whether the Executive is concerned that a director of one of the property developers...

Motion debated, That the Parliament notes the difficulties experienced by people within local communities who have secured disabled parking spaces outside their homes; deplores the fact that these spaces can become a focus of conflict within communities where people seek to use such a space, despite not having a disabled parking badge; notes with equal dismay the figures published by the Baywatch campaign group that show that over 20% of disabled parking bays in supermarket car parks are being used by non-disabled drivers; recognises that the current legal position, which distinguishes between courtesy parking spaces and those supported by traffic regulation orders, creates problems for people with disabilities who need to rely on a designated parking space outside their home; appreciates, in the case of car parks on private land such as those belonging to supermarkets, the frustration of disabled drivers where the store management appears reluctant to enforce its own parking policy; acknowledges that, for their part, some store managers are not clear about their powers to compel drivers to move from specially designated bays; notes that this situation leaves supermarkets vulnerable to future legal action under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended); therefore believes that the Scottish Executive, local authorities and all relevant agencies should work together to develop...
