To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the statement on enterprise networks by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth on 26 September 2007, what the financial costs and savings will be of co-locating Scottish Enterprise staff with local authority staff in (a) Fife and (b) Scotland.
Co-location ofstaff will be an operational matter for discussion between Scottish Enterpriseand relevant local authorities which will be encouraged by the ScottishGovernment. It is thereforenot possible to quantify costs or savings at present.
