§ Mr. MaclennanTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the rural enterprise programme on marketing.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 18 April 1994]: A baseline study was undertaken in 1991 to provide a benchmark against which to measure the effects of the rural enterprise programme, including the marketing element of the scheme. This provides a basis for a full evaluation of the impact of the programme, which we plan to commission in 1995.
