Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much has been invested in Inverclyde through the Vacant and Derelict Land Fund in each calendar year of the current parliamentary session.

Each year the fund is distributed to a maximum of five local authorities using a methodology that has already been agreed with COSLA and local government. It takes into account a range of objectives and indicators and ranks each local authority accordingly. For 2020-21, the eligible local authorities continued to be Fife, Glasgow City, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Councils.
