– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 8 November 2002.
Question S1W-31375
To ask the Scottish Executive when it will publish an analysis of responses to the consultation paper on the review of the law of diligence, Enforcement of Civil Obligations in Scotland .
Independent consultants carried out the analysis of the responses to this consultation paper and I have today placed the analysis report in the Parliament’s Reference Centre. The report will also be available on the Scottish Executive website.
Sixty-eight organisations and individuals, representing a wide variety of interests responded to the consultation. The proposals put forward in the paper were, as a whole, extremely well received and supported by those who responded. After considering the analysis, it is intended to bring forward legislation to implement wide-ranging reform of the enforcement system as a whole.
I shall, however, be looking at the responses to one point of the consultation as a matter of urgency. This is the part that asks for views on how a statutory national debt arrangement scheme should be taken forward. The framework of the scheme, including power to make regulations, is contained in the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Bill currently before the Parliament. Now that an analysis of the responses is available, the Executive will be looking to bring forward regulations to implement the scheme as quickly as possible taking due account of the consultation results.
