Public Audit Committee Report (Responses)


“Review of Cairngorm funicular railway”

The Convener

Item 2 is consideration of responses to the committee’s report “Review of Cairngorm funicular railway”. Committee members have copies of the accountable officers’ responses. Members will note the positive response to most recommendations, although there is a slight disagreement about paragraph 16 of our report. Do members have comments?

Willie Coffey (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (SNP)

I will focus on the business plan. I am sure that members will recall that interest was expressed in seeing how the plan develops in the coming years. I note from the papers that we have requested sight of the plan, but is that now our concern or should it be for one of our sister committees, such as the Finance Committee, to investigate?

The Convener

I recommend that we note the responses and refer them to another committee for consideration. Any follow-up work would probably be more relevant to another committee than to us, unless members are otherwise minded.

Willie Coffey

I agree.

The Convener

Do we agree to note the responses and refer them to the Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee, which is the relevant committee? We will also send them to the Finance Committee for information.

Members indicated agreement.
