To ask the Scottish Executive what emphasis the Curriculum for Excellence places on the importance of play in the early years.
Answer
Play is central to how children learn, both in terms of cognitive skills and softer skills around relating to other people. Through Curriculum for Excellence, the Scottish Government and local partners will continue to promote play-based learning, including in early primary to develop a motivating, challenging and enjoyable learning experience. Education Scotland will continue to focus on the quality of energetic and outdoor play on all inspection activities.
The Scottish Government also emphasises the importance of play outside a formal setting. On 18 January at Thornlie Primary School, I announced a £1 million funding package for play each year for the next three years. This funding will enhance play spaces and play opportunities for the children of Scotland.

To ask the Scottish Executive what guidance there is on the application of herbicides to tackle Japanese knotweed adjacent to waterways.
Answer
The range of herbicides available for use is restricted where the plant grows near a watercourse. Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) should always be consulted by operators planning to apply herbicides by any means in or near water for any purpose.
Further information can be obtained from local Scottish Environmental Protection Agency offices and the Scotland’s Environmental and Rural Services (SEARS) website. Additional guidance and an online form for completion by operators planning to apply herbicides is available at:
http://www.sears.scotland.gov.uk/Herbicide.aspx.
