The SNP promised the local authorities in the HIE area that far more powers would be stripped from the enterprise network, but it appears that it has failed to deliver on that promise. I ask the minister to be clear on the following four points. First, from now on, will the local authorities in the HIE area have fewer duties in relation to regeneration than those in the remainder of Scotland?

Secondly, will he clarify whether the Moray Council area is to be taken out of the HIE area and put in the new Grampian region?

Thirdly, in relation to national and small business grants, is the minister signalling that he intends to reduce HIE's current freedoms through the proposed review of those grants in the HIE area?

Finally, will he confirm that he is stripping HIE of its functions in relation to wider skills and training, as he is doing to Scottish Enterprise?
