What form of governance and democratic accountability is proposed in respect of the Scottish Futures Trust.

In announcing the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT) we published our intentions in the document Taking Forward the Scottish Futures Trust (Bib. number 45605). An infrastructure board for Scotland is envisaged made up of senior representatives from across the public sector. It would oversee the SFT delivering its strategic objectives and would input to the future strategic direction of SFT.
SFT will not alter the lines of statutory responsibility and accountability which apply across the public sector. SFT will itself be accountable through ministers.
