S3W-13152: Scottish Futures Trust

To ask the Scottish Executive when it will announce its intentions for the Scottish Futures Trust initiative.

Answered by John Swinney (20/05/2008): I have today written to the Convener of the Finance Committee explaining the government''s intention to set up a Scottish Futures Trust company and providing further details of its plans for the Scottish Futures Trust initiative. A copy of that letter and the associated Business Case is available in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib. number 45605).
