To ask the Scottish Executive how it monitors the success of each dispersal order.
Answer
The Scottish Executive doesnot monitor the success of each individual dispersal order; that is theresponsibility of the police force and partner agencies concerned. We are,however, conducting a study – as required under the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland)Act 2004 – of the operational effectiveness and impact of dispersal powers, asevidenced by the first 14 dispersal orders to be enforced. This study will bepresented to Parliament by 29 October 2007.

In May 2006 the Executive,the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities and the Scottish Catholic EducationService ran a national seminar to promote twinning. This was followed in Decemberby publication of Building Friendships and Strengthening Communities: a guideto twinning between denominational and non-denominational schools, a copy ofwhich was sent to every school in Scotland. It is availablein the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 41267).
