To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will encourage the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland to seek national Olympic committee status and, if so, how it will support the council in that aim.
Answer
The International Olympic Committee decides on which Olympic Committees it will recognise. The Scottish Executive has no plans to explore the possibility of Scotland having its own Olympic Committee.
The remit of the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland is specific to the Commonwealth Games and the Council is a member of the Commonwealth Games Federation.
