I was going to thank the minister for his reply, but there was not much to it. The minister will know that the Borders still faces considerable economic pressures and needs support. Its dedicated economic strategy and its dedicated economic development body, Scottish Enterprise Borders, have been fundamental to taking the economy forward, with growing expenditure. Will the minister assure the Parliament and the Borders that he will not abolish Scottish Enterprise Borders or cut its functions?
