To ask the Scottish Executive, with reference to the Scottish Executive News Release SE0926/2000, when the "#3 million assuming the Commission agrees an increase in the maximum weight per animal under the Over Thirty Months Scheme" was first announced, and on how many occasions this funding was referred to in press releases between this date and 30 March 2000. 30 March was the first date on which it was announced that Scottish cattle producers would benefit by around £3 million in the 2000-01 financial year from a European Commission decision to increase the maximum weight per animal under the Over Thirty Months Scheme.
