To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the statement to the Parliament by Jackie Baillie on 27 October 1999 on the establishment of the domestic abuse service development fund, (a) whether or not it will make funding available to local authorities in order that they might provide matched funding for any bid submitted to this new fund and (b) whether the fund will only support new developments and, if so, whether it will confirm that funding will still be made available to organisations such as Scottish Women's Aid.
