The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what assessment it has made of the possible impact on Scotland's regional economies of Celtic and Rangers football clubs' attitude to Scottish football in the light of the breakdown of the SPL-TV broadcasting talks.

The answer

Answered by Elaine Murray on 10 May 2002 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

None. Speculation about the attitudes of Rangers and Celtic football clubs to Scottish football is not a basis on which the Scottish Executive could undertake or commission regional economic impact assessments.
