The Scottish Government has no plans to introduce a large retail supplement, but it will bring forward legislation to implement a public health supplement to support preventative spend measures.

It is estimated that around 240 retail premises listed on the valuation rolls for Scotland will be liable for the public health supplement. This represents 0.1% of all non-domestic properties in Scotland.

Further details will be available when the legislation for the public health supplement is laid in parliament in the New Year.

Colleges are independent employers and are responsible for taking their own decisions on staff-related matters, where appropriate in consultation with the recognised trade unions. Ministers have no role in determining the number of staff employed by Clydebank College.

Matters relating to the funding of individual colleges, and the associated activity which colleges require to deliver, fall within the responsibility of the Scottish Funding Council. I have asked its Chief Executive to write to the member.
