To ask the Scottish Executive whether members of public bodies are required to register non-pecuniary interests under the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 and, if so, whether such interests include membership of clubs, organisations and political parties.
Answer
Members of devolved public bodies listed in schedule 3 of the 2000 act will be required to register non-financial interests which may be of significance, relevance or bear upon the work or operation of the devolved public body. This includes membership of other public bodies; clubs, societies and organisations; trade unions, and voluntary organisations.

To ask the Scottish Executive, with regard to the proposed single body for distributing lottery funding, whether it will make representations to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport about establishing a single distributing body for lottery funding specifically for Scotland, in the context of devolved policy areas such as social justice, health, education, environment, heritage, arts and sports.
Answer
I met the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the Minister for Culture, Sport and the Welsh Language of the National Assembly for Wales on 27 February to discuss a range of issues on the National Lottery, including the proposed merger of the Community Fund and the New Opportunities Fund. While Scottish ministers are seeking a direct relationship with the new merged body, we have no plans to seek a single lottery distributing body for all lottery funding streams in Scotland.
