Chamber and committees

Table 1 contains data on the level of manufacturing employment in Scotland, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow, and Stirling in each quarter since January 2001.

Data contained within the table are estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) which is carried out by the Office for National Statistics. The LFS measures all those in employment including employees, family workers and self employed people. The LFS is a household survey, so the estimates reflect where people live rather than where they work.

Estimates below 10,000 (marked in italics) are considered statistically unreliable due to small sample sizes.

Statistics on the number of jobs created through inward investment are not held centrally. However, data is available on the change in the level of manufacturing jobs.

The most recent year information is available is for 2003 and data is not available for Inverness but is available for Highland Council area.

The information requested is not held centrally.

Table 1 reports the number of employees in the manufacturing industry in the areas requested each year since 1999.

Table 2 reports the percentage of the workforce employed in the manufacturing industry in the areas requested each year since 1999.

The estimates in both tables are from the Annual Business Inquiry employee analysis (1999-2003).

It is not possible to separate in the Scottish Executive’s accounting system all of the First Minister’s costs from the First Minister’s staff costs but the First Minister’s Office costs as a whole are detailed in the following table –

	1999-2000 £	2000-01 £	2001-02 £	2002-03 £	2003-04 £
Accommodation1	0	0	0	0	0
Travel	36,971	45,371	36,684	45,836	44,305

Total	53,458	57,432	44,774	56,611	54,920

Notes:

1. Accommodation costs are managed centrally and not allocated against ministers’ offices.

2. Excludes cost of Government Car Service for First Minister as costs are not broken down by individual minister.

3. Includes teas, coffees, working lunches etc but excludes functions hosted by the First Minister.

Information is available for speed camera sites that have joined the Safety Camera Programme since it was first piloted from 2000-02. The increase in camera sites over this period therefore are a combination of new sites established by safety camera partnerships and sites that were operated by the police prior to the programme but accepted into the scheme.

Number of New and Existing Cameras Accepted into the Programme Year on Year*

Year	Programme Expansion	Trunk Roads		Non-trunk Roads
		Fixed Sites	Mobile Sites	Fixed Sites	Mobile Sites
2000-02	Pilot project involving Strathclyde – area covered by Glasgow City Council only	0	0	39	0
2002-03	Strathclyde expands to cover 4 local authorities Fife joins Programme April 2002 North East Partnership joins October 2002	22	23	20	74
2003-04	Strathclyde Partnership expands to cover 12 local authorities Dumfries & Galloway joins July 2003 Lothian & Borders joins July 2003 Tayside joins July 2003	44	59	50	95
2004-05	Northern Partnership joins July 2004 Lothian & Borders expands to include West Lothian Council area July 2004	2	50	4	53

Note: *As partnerships and the programme expands additional geographic areas will be included where camera sites were already operated by the police in conjunction with the roads authorities. In addition new sites will be established at sites where new casualty problems are emerging. Figures given are for all cameras sites accepted into the programme – new and pre-existing. These figures are based on information supplied by safety camera partnerships. Central Scotland is not currently part of the programme and therefore no figures are included for this area.

The role of the Executive is to ensure that courts have access to a sufficient range of appropriately resourced sentencing options. Sentencing decisions are for the courts. There is a continuing increase in the use by courts of community based penalties, including Community Service Orders, which provide for reparation to be made to communities through a specified period of unpaid work. The 1% increase in the number of Community Service Orders in 2003-04 followed a 13% increase the previous year. Similarly there was a 10% increase in 2003-04 in the number of Supervised Attendance Orders, which contain an element of community reparation, imposed by courts in dealing with fine defaulters.

A new development for 2005-06 is commencement of two year Executive funded pilots of Community Reparation Orders to deal with anti-social behaviour. Both District and Sheriff Courts within the pilot areas of Dundee, Inverness and Greenock will have access to this new sentence. As a statutory duty local authorities require to carry out consultation of appropriate groups within their areas on the nature of placements to be carried out by those subject to a Community Reparation Order.

In 2005, courts throughout Scotland will continue to have access to a range of community based penalties which contain an element of community reparation. These include both Community Service Orders and Probation Orders - where the court has imposed an additional condition of unpaid work in the community. Supervised Attendance Orders, which are a penalty for fine default, can also include a requirement to carry out unpaid work within the community.

 In addition, from spring of this year both District and Sheriff Courts in the Dundee, Inverness and Greenock areas will have access to a new Community Reparation Order, provided for within the Anti-Social Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004, as part of a two year Scottish Executive funded pilot scheme.

The primary aim of the Safety Camera Programme is to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on Scotland’s roads. No detailed assessment has been made of the impact of speed cameras on emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
