Question
To ask the Scottish Executive how much the change of name from The Scottish Office to The Scottish Executive is estimated to cost.
Answer
The main costs are associated with changing the signage on buildings. Other costs include revising the corporate identity on uniforms, headed stationery, publications and redesigning our Internet and Intranet sites. Full and final costs are not yet available but are likely to amount to less than £60,000 in total. This will be offset by improvements in efficiency and small ongoing savings in the region of £17,000 per annum by moving to self printing of headed paper.
