It is important that the modulation funds are used more widely than simply for measures that are directed at agriculture. The reforms to date indicate that the amount of money that is available is perhaps not as great as we might have hoped it would be, but at least the Executive has moved towards a relatively high level of national modulation.
However, rather than spend time talking about potential comparators with England—although I am happy to address that point—our submission draws attention to the changes that the Executive has made to date in respect of its expenditure priorities.
It has been a useful piece of work and I hope that the committee and Audit Scotland will talk about how to keep it up to date. Those issues are at the very centre of our democratic system.
I do not know how common the knowledge is, but even if someone is struck off by the GTC, they can apply to be readmitted to the register at a later date. I am not sure exactly how long that takes but it is a lot less than 10 years.
The association submitted written evidence to the committee and I would be pleased to provide such additional information as may be required. I will submit at a later date any technical information that I cannot provide today.Water is one of the three key ingredients in the production of malt whisky.
If both bills are passed, do you think that that will have implications for lenders, who might act at an earlier date? Would that have an impact on owner-occupiers?
That is school census data in relation to September of the year prior to the year to which the distribution relates. It could not be more up to date than that. I do not find your answer to the point about council cuts plausible.
I would be interested to know whether our witnesses have any comments to make on our methodology to date. We are aware not only that the committee is going out to visit ambulance stations and to look at control rooms, but that it is taking the trouble to examine board general managers from different parts of Scotland.
Will the suggestions not debar consideration of further issues at a later date? No, they are not prescriptive. For the next six months, can we take on a big, specific topic, such as what is happening to the European Union?
