To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-16175 by Angus MacKay on 20 June 2001, when and how the information on numbers of hardship relief claims by businesses affected by the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak will be made available.

The answer

Answered by Angus MacKay on 6 Jul 2001 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

The table below shows the number of cases of hardship relief that had been granted by each council as at 21 June 2001, and the number that were still under consideration at that date. Data on unsuccessful claims are not held centrally.Applications for relief are still being received by councils, and some businesses may still be collecting evidence to support their claims, so the figures below are likely to rise as further applications are processed.Council | Hardship relief claims granted | Hardship relief claims under consideration
