The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-623 by Ross Finnie on 2 August 1999, whether it will provide further details of its examination of the Scottish Rural Partnership Fund (SRPF) and whether it intends to publish any report on completion of this examination and, in particular, whether it intends to continue funding to the SRPF beyond the current three year period.

The answer

Answered by Ross Finnie on 13 Oct 1999 · 26 days after it was lodged, on time

I undertook the examination in order to assess whether the Scottish Rural Partnership Fund's objectives were in keeping with the Partnership Agreement. There was no report of that assessment. The Fund comprises three parts, one of which includes grant support to Local Rural Partnerships over a maximum period of three years. There are no plans to alter this arrangement.
