The information held by the Executive is to be found in the table.The Executive holds information only on those compulsory purchase orders submitted to the Scottish ministers as confirming authority. We do not hold information on those orders instigated by a local authority but not submitted for confirmation or on the outcome of the order following confirmation by ministers.The table shows compulsory purchase orders submitted by local authorities to the Scottish ministers (or prior to July 1999 the Secretary of State for Scotland) and those confirmed by them. The table also shows the purposes for which the orders were made.Number of Local Authority Compulsory Purchase Orders Received and Confirmed in the Last Five YearsCouncil | Purpose | 1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001
