To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-4815 by Mr Tom McCabe on 14 March 2000, on how many occasions since February 2000 it has asked back-bench MSPs to lodge parliamentary questions in order to enable it to make an announcement; whether it will provide a list of such questions, including the date on which they were lodged, and whether it is still the case that none of its officials have written authorisations to lodge parliamentary questions in the names of back-bench MSPs.
