To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-21293 by Jim Mather on 13 March 2009, whether it considers that the approach taken by ministers in relation to the decision to integrate the Intermediary Technology Institutes (ITIs) into Scottish Enterprise is consistent with paragraph 16 of the Protocol Between Committee Clerks and the Scottish Executive, which states that “The Executive will keep Committees informed about any announcements, News Releases, reports and other activity relevant to the Committee’s remit”.
Answer
As I indicated in answer to question S3W-21293 on 13 March 2009, the decision was taken by Scottish Enterprise as it was an operational matter for them. On that basis, ministers had no locus to inform others in advance of the announcement.
