To ask the Scottish Executive how the grant of £1,335,338 awarded to VisitScotland through the European Regional Development Fund Programme 2007-13 for Lowlands and Uplands Scotland, under Priority 4 rural development funding, will be utilised.
Answer
The recently awarded European Regional Development Fund Programme grant award for Lowlands and Uplands Scotland (and a similar award for the Highlands and Islands programme areas) will be used by VisitScotland to contribute to the delivery of the Homecoming Scotland 2009 project. The target is to generate a £40 million return on investment as a direct result of Homecoming Scotland 2009. It is not yet possible to identify how much of the funding will be allocated to communities, organisations or rural communities, nor which specific groups will benefit directly from the funding.

To ask the Scottish Executive how much additional funding will be provided to (a) South Ayrshire and (b) East Ayrshire councils to enable them to deliver two hours of PE per week to every pupil.
Answer
The intention of the new relationship with local government is to move away from ring fenced funding. The settlement for each local authority is intended as a single budget which provides authorities with the flexibility to reach decisions on where money should be spent to achieve agreed outcomes.
Since local authorities have committed to developing and delivering curriculum for excellence we expect schools to continue to regard working towards the provision of two hours PE as a priority.
