The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what steps the Cabinet Secretary for Parliamentary Business and Government Strategy is taking to ensure that government departments comply with part four of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2004, duties of public bodies relating to climate change.
The answer
The Scottish Government published guidance in February 2011 to assist all public bodies in complying with the duties placed upon them by Part 4 of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009.
