To ask the Scottish Executive how much national lottery funding has been allocated in total and per head of population in each Glasgow constituency since 1996.
Answer
The distribution of national lottery funds is a matter for the Lottery Distribution Bodies: Scottish Arts Council, Scottish Screen, sportscotland, New Opportunities Fund, Community Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund and Millennium Commission. The information requested is not held centrally.The Department for Culture, Media and Sport maintains a database of national lottery awards on their website which sets out the total awarded to each constituency area and each local authority area for each lottery good cause.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the implications are for the timescale within which repairs such as those required in Scotstoun, Glasgow, are carried out of action taken by Scottish Water to reduce its operating costs.
Answer
This is an operational matter for Scottish Water so I have asked the Chief Executive of Scottish Water to respond. The Chief Executive's response is as follows:The timescale for carrying out repairs at Scotstoun, Glasgow is not related to Scottish Water's efforts to reduce operating costs. Complications associated with the planning of the remedial work resulted in an exceptional length of time being lost. Scottish Water does regret the delay and would like to give assurances that services to customers were not adversely disrupted.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the estimated cost to Scottish Water is of the outpouring of water from broken pipes in Earl Street and Dumbarton Road in Scotstoun, Glasgow.
Answer
This is an operational matter for Scottish Water so I have asked the Chief Executive of Scottish Water to respond. The Chief Executive's response is as follows:Scottish Water keeps a record of overall leakage rates throughout Scotland, but it is difficult to isolate and accurately estimate the cost of the water lost from a specific instance of a broken pipe in a particular area.

To ask the Scottish Executive what additional funding has been made available for the new housing repair grant system.
Answer
As I announced on 7 November 2002, funding for improvement of housing conditions in the private sector is being transferred from local authorities' general borrowing to a specific private sector housing grant. £50 million is available in the current financial year, and £60 million in each of the next two years. This compares to reported expenditure, funded through the single capital allocation by local authorities on equivalent activities of approximately £45 million in 2000-01, the last year for which figures are available. The majority of this expenditure is on housing improvement and repair grants.

To ask the Scottish Executive what form of local community consultation process is required to determine the frequency and location of bus services.
Answer
There is no statutory requirement for local consultation to determine the frequency and location of bus services. The provision of local bus services is generally a matter for individual bus operators who use their own commercial judgement as to the level and frequency of services to be provided. Beyond the commercial decisions of bus operators, it is the responsibility of the local transport authority to identify where there is a social need for a particular bus service and to make subsidy available, if it so chooses, so that appropriate additional services are provided.
