Note on the use of 'Scottish Executive' in this report

On 3 September 2007 the Scottish Executive changed its name to The Scottish Government. This decision was based on clear evidence 1 that the term "Scottish Executive" was confusing or meaningless to many members of the public. The fieldwork on which this report is based was conducted in 2006, before the official name change, and the questions therefore referred to the Scottish Executive. The term Scottish Executive is therefore used throughout the following report.

The views expressed in this report are those of the researcher and
do not necessarily represent those of the Department or Scottish Ministers.
