Question
To ask the Scottish Government what technical measures have been put in place to prevent incorrect letters from being issued again to participants in the Beef Efficiency Scheme.
Answer
Officials will work closely with ScotEID to ensure that the content of the reports is being interpreted correctly. We are also in constructive talks with ScotEID to review and simplify the weights reports so that they only show data relevant to the current scheme year. This combined with robust management checks should prevent further administrative errors from occurring.
