To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-4825 by John Swinney on 15 October 2007, whether immigration status was a factor in Ms Erickson’s employment status with the Executive.

I refer the memberto the answer to question S3W-6024 on 19 November 2007. All answers to written parliamentary questions are availableon the Parliament’s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/webapp/wa.search.

Ms Jennifer Ericksonwas not a permanent employee of the Scottish Government. She was engaged as a consultantfor a short period of time to provide continuity of advice in relation to a specificproject, the establishment of the Council of Economic Advisers. The fact that shewas a non-UK resident and would not, other than in exceptional circumstances, havebeen eligible for a civil service contract was therefore a consideration in thedecision to engage her on consultancy terms on a time-limited basis.
