    Tuesday 13 January 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Communities Jackie Baillie (Dumbarton) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government how it will use its proposed new power regarding funeral payment benefit to help support people who experience difficulties in meeting funeral costs. (S4W-23698) Margaret Burgess: Under the Smith Commission’s proposals, the Scottish Government would have full autonomy to deliver assistance with funeral costs to help those in need. We plan to consult widely with stakeholders and service users in the coming months on how we can use these proposed new powers to best effect, building on the appetite for engagement and dialogue amongst civic Scotland. Anne McTaggart (Glasgow) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what further work it is undertaking on its discussion paper on financial capability, Achieving Better Co-ordination in Scotland, published in July 2010. (S4W-23701) Margaret Burgess: As described in the answer to S4W-23603 on 6 January 2015, the Scottish Government’s approach to financial capability is set out in the revised Child Poverty Strategy for Scotland published in March 2014. This recognises the importance of having access to appropriate financial services, information and advice and that financial capability can make a significant difference to the lives of the people of Scotland. Achieving Better Co-ordination in Scotland focussed on a number of key areas, including genuine partnership working – which we have demonstrated through tri-partite working with the Scottish Legal Aid Board and the Money Advice Service to fund collaborative projects, most recently through the Tackling Money Worries funding announced in October 2014.
