To ask the Scottish Executive in how many cases the Scottish Qualifications Authority has failed to notify universities or colleges of potential undergraduates' results in the 2001 diet of results and how it proposes to address these cases.

Specific arrangements in connection with exam results and appeals are a matter for the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), and I will ask the Chair to write to you with a more detailed response to your query.The SQA does not pass results directly to higher education institutions but via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Prior to the issue of this summer's exam results, UCAS notified the SQA of the results that it would require for onward transmission to higher education institutions. The SQA supplied results to UCAS for those candidates on 4 August, three days ahead of schedule.
