To ask the Scottish Government whether it will include co-working offices and studio spaces on Level 4 Strategic Framework Business Grant eligibility list, in light of the impact on their businesses of the instruction to work from home wherever possible that was issued on 4 January 2021.

There are no plans to change the eligibility criteria for the Strategic Framework Business Fund. We have allocated £120 million in discretionary business support funding to Local Authorities enabling them to direct funding towards those businesses unable to access other sources of financial support.
