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 from the networks, VisitScotland and other organisations sharing back-office functions and other activities such as marketing in (a) Fife and (b) Scotland.
Work is currentlyunderway between the enterprise networks and VisitScotland to identifyopportunities for shared services. It is therefore not possible to quantifycosts or savings at present.
