We will continue to work actively on that issue and others as we develop the tourism network for Scotland over the coming period. On the issue that Mr Mundell raises, we are waiting for final recommendations from the working groups.

I assure the member that we are on track with our commitment to the reorganisation of the tourism network across Scotland. Many of the discussions that we are having with local authorities and private sector companies are part of our attempt to ensure that the resources currently in the system are sustained and that we can lever in additional resources to match those that were invested by the Executive for marketing. We hope to report back on the issue in the near future. I anticipate that, when that happens, I will come before the Enterprise and Culture Committee.
