Events5 August: Margaret Curran, Minister for Communities, announced that local authorities will have the power to vary the council tax discount on second homes and long-term empty properties within their area by between 50% and 10%.

The principal functions of SASA are to provide the appropriate scientific input - tests, diagnoses and analyses - for the implementation and enforcement of legislation and regulations in the areas of crops and environmental protection. The new premises at Gogarbank near Edinburgh, are due to be completed by the end of 2005. 10 August: Lewis Macdonald, Deputy Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, announced financial support of £28 million of new European funding to help boost skills and training across Scotland. 200 projects will benefit from this award under the Objective 3 funding programme. 11 August: Margaret Curran, Minister for Communities, announced that a new Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) on green belts is to be prepared following research (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/development/rgbps-00asp) showing both a high level of support for green belts and a need to strengthen and clarify the policy.

A draft SPP is expected in spring 2005. 12 August: Jack McConnell, First Minister, announced details of a scheme that will force the perpetuators of antisocial behaviour to carry out unpaid work as part of their punishment.

The report also looks forward to the challenges still facing the Executive and illustrates them with demographic figures, including population projections. 18 August: Cathy Jamieson, Minister for Justice, announced Executive proposals for Structured Deferred Sentences where an offender could be required to take part in sessions with social work staff and other professionals to look at issues around their criminal behaviour. If offenders refuse to co-operate they could be given another, more punitive penalty. 16 August: Peter Peacock, Minister for Education, announced that the money available for this year's Read Together Home Reading Initiative small grants scheme is being increased from £350,000 to £1 million because of the high number of quality applications received.

The report shows a slight improvement in business formation, R&D spend and employment rates but a relative decline in labour productivity. 30 August: launch of a consultation on the new European Fisheries Fund. The fund is aimed at encouraging more sustainable fishing and greater diversification in fishing communities, and will be introduced from 2007 as a successor to the current Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG). 1 September: Andy Kerr, Finance Minister, called on local government to welcome the Efficient Government agenda and look beyond their own organisation boundaries to ensure that the very best value is delivered for every pound of public money invested. Efficient Government will be a critical part of the Executive's programme of public sector investment, reform and modernisation and is consistent with the Partnership Agreement agenda of cutting bureaucracy, matching investment with reform and designing services around the needs of the individual. 2 September: launch of the 'Scotland in the Netherlands' cultural programme as part of the initiative to promote Scotland overseas.

9 September: Ross Finnie, Minister for Environment and Rural Development, announced that new subsidy arrangements will require Scotland's farmers to meet strict environmental conditions to qualify. Under reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) agreed in Brussels last year, production subsidies will be replaced by a single farm payment system in January 2005. Guidelines for Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions require farmers to protect wildlife and habitats, combat soil erosion and improve environmental conditions. Guidelines on landscape features also advise not to use machinery too close to field margins to prevent damage to wildlife habitats. 9 September: Lewis Macdonald, Deputy Enterprise Minister, announced European funding worth £13.8 million to be used to ensure fair access to the labour market for thousands of Scots. 11 Scottish partnerships have received funding today through the EQUAL Community Initiative.

Groups targeted include women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities or health issues, older workers, ex-offenders, drug and/or alcohol misusers, refugees and asylum seekers. 10 September: Cathy Jamieson, Minister for Justice, announced that the Executive is to invest £727,000 over the next two years to help the police deal more quickly and effectively with young offenders. The scheme is aimed at minor and first time offenders. For example, a young person could be required to attend their local police station with their parents to discuss the impact of the offence upon their victim, community and family and to apologise to the victim or offer to make some form of reparation, such as cleaning up graffiti. 10 September: launch of a consultation on proposals to increase the obligation on Scottish electricity suppliers to provide renewable electricity. The Executive, in looking to raise the current obligation levels from 10.4% by 2010-11 to 15.4% by 2015-16, aims to attract new investors to the Scottish renewables sector. 13 September: eleventh monthly report of George Reid, Presiding Officer, with the latest information on the Holyrood Project cost and programme. Mr Reid stated that there was no change to the overall cost of £430.5m as reported in his letter to the Finance Committee in February.

These movements were all in fulfilment of anticipated commitments. 14 September: the General Assembly of the International Commission on Civil Status was held in Edinburgh, the first time this event has taken place in the UK. The Assembly discussed civil registration questions, including how to prevent fraud, the registration of partnerships, the recognition of names, and European civil status. 15 September: publication of Lord Fraser's Holyrood Inquiry report (http://www.holyroodinquiry.org/FINAL_report/report.htm). The inquiry into the escalating cost of the Holyrood building project was ordered by First Minister Jack McConnell in 2003 and hearing evidence began in October 2003 at the Scottish Land Court in Edinburgh. More than 60 witnesses took the stand before the inquiry held its final sessions in May this year. Lord Fraser announced that after condensing seven years of Holyrood-related activity in his report he had found 'no single victim' who could be held responsible for the project's failings. Civil servants in general were heavily criticized for not informing ministers of the growing problems and increasing costs associated with the Holyrood project. Lord Fraser cleared the late First Minister Donald Dewar in his report, stating that Mr Dewar had relied on inaccurate information from civil servants. Lord Fraser made 10 recommendations in his report. 15 September: George Reid, Presiding Officer, made a statement in response to Lord Fraser's Inquiry report. Mr Reid called for closure, saying that Scotland now needed to look forward to the work the parliament would do, rather than look back on the building itself. 15 September: the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body gave a formal response to Lord Fraser's Inquiry Report, acknowledging the comments made by Lord Fraser on aspects of the management of the project since it assumed responsibility in June 1999 and stating that it will be considering very carefully the implications for future governance. 15 September: Jack McConnell, First Minister, thanked Lord Fraser for his full report and the recommendations contained in it. Mr McConnell said he supported the recommendations and would implement those that apply to the Executive as soon as possible. Mr McConnell also said it was clear there were faults both pre and post devolution. 16 September: Jim Wallace, Minister for Enterprise, announced that a Manufacturing Advisory Service is to be established in Scotland to provide practical, hands-on advice for small and medium sized manufacturing companies. 18 September: Jack McConnell, First Minister, visited Namur, the capital of the Wallonie region in Belgium, as guest of honour at the opening of the Walloon Parliament.
