The answer

Answered by Stewart Maxwell on 11 Sep 2007 · 13 days after it was lodged, on time

The primary purposeof the Housing Supply Task Force is to tackle blockages that are preventing theconstruction of housing across Scotland. The focus will be on action to address theseimpediments and at this stage it is not envisaged that specially-commissioned researchwill be a feature of the task force’s activities. Task force members will be contributingtheir in-depth understandings of the issues to the meetings and are best placedto inform discussion on these issues.
There is an expectation,however, that all research commissioned by the Scottish Government is publishedon the Scottish Government website as soon as a final report can be made available.Should any research be commissioned to support the task force, this would be publishedin the normal way.
