The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, for each year since 1997, (a) how much funding was granted (i) in total to social inclusion partnerships in Edinburgh and (ii) to each such partnership, (b) how many private companies were formed using such funding, (c) how many private companies formed using such funding have gone into insolvent liquidation, what the names of any such companies were and with which social inclusion partnership each was associated and (d) what monitoring took place of any such companies and what action was taken subsequent to insolvent liquidation.
The answer
Social Inclusion Partnerships (SIP) were launched in 1999, and there are five in Edinburgh. South Edinburgh and Edinburgh Youth SIP were newly designated in April 1999. North Edinburgh was previously a Priority Partnership Area designated as a SIP in April 1999. Edinburgh Strategic Programme was previously a Regeneration Programme and was designated as a SIP in April 1999. Craigmillar was previously a Priority Partnership Area and was designated as a SIP in April 2000.SIP Fund allocations to each of the SIPs in the financial years 1999-2000, 2000-01 and 2001-02 are as follows:Social Inclusion Partnership | 1999-2000(£000)Allocation | 2000-01(£000)Allocation | 2001-02 (£000)Allocation
North Edinburgh | 2,877 | 2,590 | 2,551
Craigmillar |
- | 1,755 | 1,916
Strategic Programme | 1,178 | 550 | 589
South Edinburgh | 740 | 990 | 1,229
Edinburgh Youth | 205 | 567 | 634
Total | 5,000 | 6,452 | 6,919
Responsibility for day to day oversight of the deployment of these funds falls to the grant recipient for Edinburgh SIPs, the City of Edinburgh Council. They advise us that no private companies were formed using SIP funds, and it therefore follows that no such companies have gone into liquidation.
