To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will detail the process by which it arrives at a figure for the number of children currently in poverty, including the method of calculation and any other factors which may affect the final figure.
Answer
The Social Justice Annual Report 2001 and its annex, entitled "Indicators of progress: definitions, data, baselines and trends information", were both published on 26 November 2001. They provide the latest data on the range of milestones used to measure child poverty.We are making improvements in data collection in a number of areas relating to the Social Justice Strategy. As I noted during the debate on the Social Justice Annual Report on 29 November 2001, we are not in a position to give numbers regarding children living in low income households because of technical difficulties with the Department for Work and Pensions' Family Resources Survey data. We are investing 拢230,000 to double the size of the sample in Scotland and have agreed a programme to change the way they generate Scottish information, in order that we can produce more detailed income data.A detailed description of the methodology used in calculating the low income figures is available in the Department for Work and Pensions' annual publication Households Below Average Income. The 1999-2000 publication was published on 13 July 2001 and a copy is available from the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 14722).

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will list capital and revenue allocations to each social inclusion partnership area in real terms for each year since the partnerships were established to 2002-03 and how much of the expenditure allocated to each partnership has been spent in each of these years to date.

To ask the Scottish Executive why Scottish Homes/Communities Scotland investment on owner occupied properties will fall from #29.571 million in 2001-01 to #16.539 million in 2001-02 as identified in Scottish Homes Investment Programme 2001-02 and what impact this reduction will have on the owner occupied sector.
Answer
I have asked Mr Bob Millar, Chief Executive of Communities Scotland to respond. His response is as follows:This reflects increased ministerial priority for the provision of affordable rented housing and the temporary suspension of the Grants for Rent or Owner Occupation programme. There will be around 500 fewer units for owner occupation approved in 2001-02 than in 2000-01, with the expenditure released being redirected to the rented programme.
