To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-2648 by Jackie Baillie on 2 December 1999, what allowance was allocated to each authority during the determination of Revenue Support Grant levels for the next three financial years to provide match funding for bids under the Domestic Abuse Service Development Fund.
Answer
The vast majority of Scottish Executive grant support to local authorities, as with their income from local taxation, is not hypothecated for specific purposes. As I indicated in my statement to Parliament on 27 October, we will expect authorities to demonstrate their commitment to tackling domestic abuse by providing matching funding from these unhypothecated resources to the £3 million we are allocating towards the Domestic Abuse Service Development Fund.
