To ask the Scottish Executive what its response is to the proposed reduction or removal of funding to the Scottish Pre-school Playgroup Association by Scottish Borders Council.
Answer
It is entirely a matter for each local authority to establish its expenditure priorities within the budget available to it. It would not be appropriate for ministers to intervene in the individual spending decisions of a council.

To ask the Scottish Executive what its response is to the proposed reduction or removal of funding to the Scottish Borders Voluntary Development Agency by Scottish Borders Council.
Answer
Borders Local Volunteer Development Agency currently receives funding of 拢31,500 from the Scottish Executive, as part of our funding package for the national network of Volunteer Centres. Each Volunteer Centre is required to raise funding of a similar scale from other sources, which can include local authorities.We understand that its decision with regard to the level of future resources has not been disclosed by Borders Council to Borders Local Volunteer Development Agency, but a reduction has been indicated. As with all voluntary organisations that we sponsor, the funding position of Borders Local Volunteer Development Agency will be kept under review.
