To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-22428 by Michael Russell on 3 April 2009, which organisations will be entitled to bid for funds from the £2.973 million in Barnett consequentials resulting from the creation of the Migration Impacts Fund in England.
Answer
The Barnett consequential will be added to the Scottish Block, and Scottish ministers will decide in due course how these additional funds should be spent. There are therefore no current plans for a bidding process.
