The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what organisations have regularly received funding directly from the budget for Gaelic in each year since 2004-05; what amount each received in each year and for what purpose, and what assumptions of continuing funding, and at what level, are contained in the budget figures for Gaelic published in Scottish Budget: Spending Review 2007.
The answer
The ScottishGovernment’s spend on Gaelic for the years 2004-05 to 2006-07, the projectedoutturn for 2007-08, and the planned budgets for 2008-09 to 2010-11 are shownin the attached table. This funding is targeted on key areas of Gaelicdevelopment with the aim of creating a sustainable future for Gaelic in Scotland.
The plannedbudget for 2008-09 includes a one-off capital sum of £2 million. Revenuefunding available for Gaelic therefore remains constant throughout the periodfrom 2008-09 to 2010-11.
The published budgetfor Gaelic for 2007-08 (£14.4 million) has been supplemented by additionalresources from other Scottish Government budgets. These amounts have beenincluded in the projected outturn for 2007-08 and in the planned budgets forfuture years.
