The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what it can do to support the Scottish Fair Trade Forum in its Countdown Campaign and whether it will encourage local authorities who have not made a commitment to fair trade to do so.
The answer
The Scottish Fair Trade Forum (SFTF) receives core funding from the Scottish Government to drive forward this Government''s commitment to become one of the world''s first fair trade nations.
My officials work closely with the SFTF and Scottish Government ministers have previously written to local authorities actively encouraging them to support the Fair Trade Nation campaign.
I am very pleased that the majority of local authorities are now active in the Fair Trade Nation campaign and in consultation with the SFTF I will continue to actively encourage all sectors of Scottish society to engage with the Fair Trade Nation campaign.
