The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what additional resources it has received or will receive as a consequence of the #100 million modernisation fund for the road haulage industry announced in the Pre-Budget Report in November 2000, whether it proposes to use any such consequential resources for modernising the road haulage industry in Scotland; if so, how much will be allocated for this purpose, and whether it intends to consult the industry on proposals for a Scottish modernisation strategy.
The answer
The details of the fund announced in the Pre Budget Report related to proposals to take effect in England. Most of the subject areas concerned are, in a Scottish context, devolved and Scottish ministers will carefully consider the need for equivalent measures to be introduced here and the resources needed to implement measures decided upon, taking account of views expressed by the Scottish road haulage industry.
