To ask the Scottish Executive how the additional funding announced for local authorities will alleviate the financial burden of people in most need.

The answer

The additional funding packageworth over £250 million for local authorities was announced on 13 December. Localgovernment services benefit the entire community. However, their record has shownthat they focus on those most in need and I expect this to continue.</p>
