Current status: Answered by Fiona Hyslop on 13 July 2020
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-29857 by Fiona Hyslop on 22 June 2020, what work it is doing to help the National Trust for Scotland and what assistance was requested.
As set out in my answer to S5W-29857, the National Trust for Scotland has committed to providing us with a turnaround plan setting out its strategy for recovery to accompany a revised case for support which is focused on reopening properties, and protecting jobs. This follows the previous request to the Scottish Government for assistance in order for the Trust to continue its current operations.
Scottish Enterprise met with NTS representatives on 29 June to discuss progress and I understand the Trust has indicated that a revised business plan will be completed shortly.
