To ask the Scottish Executive how much each eligible local authority received per head of population from the Cities Growth Fund in each year since the inception of the fund.
Answer
Allocations under the Cities Growth Fund in each year since inception, broken down per head of population, are given in the following table:
| | Aberdeen City | Dundee City | City of Edinburgh | Glasgow City | Inverness (city) | Stirling (city) |
| e2003-04 | £12.56 | £14.57 | £11.85 | £15.39 | £10.35 | £10.31 |
| 2004-05 | £18.84 | £21.85 | £17.78 | £23.08 | £15.52 | £15.47 |
| 2005-06 | £25.12 | £29.13 | £23.71 | £30.95 | £20.70 | £20.65 |
Notes:
1. Amounts per head of population are derived by dividing the amount allocated to each eligible local authority in each year by population estimates.
2. The population estimates used for the four largest cities are mid-2004 council area population estimates from the General Register Office for Scotland.
3. As the cities of Inverness and Stirling form part of significantly larger local authority areas, the use of council area population estimates would not be appropriate, and separate mid-2004 estimates are not available. The population estimates used are therefore based on the 2001 census data.

To ask the Scottish Executive what impact the Bikesafe initiative has had on motorcycle deaths, casualties and accidents.
Answer
It is not possible to attribute definitely improvements in motorcycle deaths, casualties and accidents to any individual measure. Reductions are likely to reflect the impact of a range of road safety measures in addition to Bikesafe, such as road improvements and action to address riding with excessive speed.
