The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-20863 by Cathy Jamieson on 29 November 2005 and if it is the case that failure to meet a particular contractual commitment is not a breach of contract, whether it considers that its contracts are rigorously enough drafted to ensure that contractors adhere to their contractual commitments.
