Mr. Kirkwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what further measures he will take to develop the economy in the Scottish
Borders. [49133]
Mr. Wilson: In recognition of the problems being experienced in the Scottish Borders economy, most recently with the redundancy
announcement by Dawson International this week, I have today announced a package of support to help the economy diversify and
modernise. This includes an additional £1 million for Scottish Borders Enterprise's budget this year, a rise of 12 per cent.; the
setting up of a new Rural Inward Investment Team within Locate in Scotland to help attract investment to areas like the Borders; a
commitment to consider providing the Borders with a reallocation of unused EC structural funds; a commitment to best endeavours to
find additional funding if Scottish Borders Enterprise can bring forward further viable projects; and a commitment to keep
discussions with Dawsons open and to assist them in their redevelopment. These measures are in addition to on-going assistance to
the Borders, including the recent designation of Hawick as a Property Employment Support Programme (PESP) area, which allows greater
flexibility to the local enterprise company to assist property projects in areas of social deprivation. The recently announced
expansion of the telecoms infrastructure in the Borders will also provide an important selling point for the area.
In response to the call for a South of Scotland Convention I will bring together in the near future the elected members and other
relevant bodies to meet on a one-off basis to discuss further the area's economy and needs. The future requirement for such a forum
must however be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
