Governance of the new agency
The Committee is in no doubt of the importance of getting the board membership right and ensuring that it is made up of individuals with as wide a range of interests, skills, expertise and experience relevant to the south of Scotland as is possible.

The Youth Employment Strategy: Developing Scotland's Young Workforce is an overarching youth employment strategy including specific activities that would be taken forward to meet the recommendations in the Wood report.
The Scottish Government’s leadership in this key area of activity would prove to be an exemplar for other public authorities facing difficult budget decisions.
It would also help where the Government sets energy efficiency standards and social landlords or even private owners who want to improve their properties cannot do so because they cannot get other owners to agree. That is our proposal.
I hope that we will see in Scotland a power that is already extended to localities and cities right across Europe, and which will enable our local authorities to getactive on the issue, if they want to use the power.
