To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-11977 by Jim Mather on 1 May 2008, when it will be possible to identify how much of the funding from the grant of £1,335,338 awarded to VisitScotland for Homecoming Scotland 2009 through the European Regional Development Fund Programme 2007-13 for Lowlands and Uplands Scotland under Priority 4 rural development funding will be allocated to communities in (a) East Ayrshire and (b) South Ayrshire.
Answer
The application to the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is part of a national, strategic project focusing on the marketing and promotion of Homecoming. Those events taking place in the eight eligible areas, including East Ayrshire, will benefit from marketing activity supported with ERDF funding.
This marketing activity would not be happening to the extent it is without this funding. ERDF funding is claimed back after the expenditure has occurred.
