To ask the Scottish Executive whether, following the decision to allow Dumfries and Galloway to form a transport partnership in its own right, it will consider allowing any other local authorities to be exempt from the proposed regional transport partnerships if they so wish.

The answer

The current Transport (Scotland) Bill 2004 places a duty on the Scottish ministers to create regional transport partnerships covering the whole of Scotland. This duty would not allow exemptions.</p>
