The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answers to questions S1W-25569 by Mr Jim Wallace on 16 May 2002 and S1W-26494 and S1W-26495 by Mr Jim Wallace on 20 June 2002, what the reason was for the errors in answers S1W-26060 and S1W-26061 by Mr Jim Wallace on 30 May 2002.

The answer

Answered by Jim Wallace on 17 Jul 2002 · 21 days after it was lodged, on time

I have asked Tony Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Prison Service to respond. His response is as follows:Arithmetic errors occurred in converting the numbers of performance measure points previously awarded to summarise the numbers of incidents. The errors were noticed and corrected as soon as possible but, regrettably, not before the answers to S1W-26060 and S1W-26061 were given.
