To ask the Scottish Government how much Audit Scotland pays in recruitment and retention allowances or similar market-based pay supplements.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not have a role in relation to the staffing of Audit Scotland. Audit Scotland appoints its own staff and determines their terms and conditions of appointment. Some information about this will be available in Audit Scotland's annual accounts (http://www.audit-scotland.gov.uk/about/).

To ask the Scottish Government how many people were employed each year through its Youth Employment Scotland Fund, and what information it has regarding how many were paid at a rate lower than that year’s (a) national minimum and (b) living wage.
Answer
The Scottish Government has allocated the 10,000 employer recruitment placements to local authorities. The final figure for delivered places in each year will not be known until audit and compliance procedures have been completed.
The programme was set up to support employers at the national minimum wage, through agreement with Scottish Local Authority Economic Development and COLSA. Local authorities and employers could, however, optionally supplement this, including paying the living wage.
