Part of First Minister's Question Time – in the Scottish Parliament at 12:00 pm on 13 September 2007.
I was intrigued when the First Minister mentioned the existence of "160 quangos", because in a speech on 17 May he referred to 152. That is perhaps one of the hidden aspects of the first 100 days of the new Administration.
More seriously, I want to ask the First Minister whether he has a target for how many quangos he seeks to cut. A major campaign is under way on the challenge of providing affordable housing, so can the First Minister clarify the position of Communities Scotland and the timescale for any changes that may be made?
