To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-12843 by Ms Margaret Curran on 8 February 2001, why the terms and conditions of grant in relation to Social Inclusion Partnership funding are currently under revision.
Answer
The terms and conditions of grant are currently being revised to reflect changes to the payment procedures which will take effect from April 2001. Currently, 40% of grant is paid in the year in which expenditure is incurred, and 60% is paid a year in arrears. From April 2001, all grant will be paid quarterly in arrears, in the year in which expenditure is incurred and there will be further changes to the way in which support cost grant is paid.We are also taking the opportunity to increase the clarity of the terms and conditions of grant, and the new terms and conditions will include guidance on the issues that grant recipients should address when setting local funding agreements with projects. I expect to issue the new terms and conditions of grant to grant recipients before the end of this financial year and a copy will be placed in the Parliament's Reference Centre.The existing terms and conditions of grant set out the requirements that all grant recipients must meet in their use of Social Inclusion Partnership funds. However each grant recipient also has in place local arrangements setting out the conditions agreed between the grant recipient and projects that the partnership decides to fund. These arrangements are agreed locally.A copy of the current terms and conditions of grant for the Social Inclusion Partnership Fund, produced by the Scottish Executive Development Department in 1999, has been placed in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. no. 11476).
