The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-36991 by Alex Neil on 27 October 2010, whether it plans to collect information centrally on how many homes have residual current devices and what the reason is for its position on this matter.

The answer

Answered by Alex Neil on 8 Nov 2010 · 7 days after it was lodged, on time

The content of the Scottish House Condition Survey, which would be the most appropriate source for collecting information on residual current devices, is regularly reviewed. The next scheduled review of data collected by the Scottish House Condition Survey will be in 2011 for introduction in 2012. The inclusion of questions on residual current devices will be considered as part of this review.
The need for questions on residual current devices will have to be balanced against the cost of collecting more data or by the loss of other questions.
