The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-29654 by Cathy Jamieson on 1 October 2002, what part of the General Agreement on Trade in Services leads it to consider that requests for liberalisation do not seek the privatisation of state-supplied public services.
The answer
It is not for the Scottish Executive to consider whether or not requests for liberalisation seek the privatisation of state-supplied public services as the regulation of international trade is a reserved matter.
