Three months? Six months? Within a year?

You talked about the nature of the tracks and the dogs being part of the family. The tracks are obviously unregulated and not under GBGB’s regulations. Does gambling or betting happen at the tracks?

I am just talking about the general regulation of the GBGB sites.

I recognise that there are no GBGB racetracks in Scotland, but sites across the UK are regulated by GBGB.

And what gives you that confidence?

My next question is slightly tangential but is linked to my previous one. We are talking about the scrutiny of financial memorandums. What confidence can you give us that scrutiny is being carried out of particularly contentious projects such as the ferries that we talked about earlier, the Lochaber smelter and Prestwick airport, on which huge amounts of public funding is at stake or being spent? How confident can we be that scrutiny is being carried out on those on-going projects to the level that we need it to be done?

So, there should be no excuses about minutes of this or that meeting not being recorded or retained.

My point is that, if a request is made for minutes of a meeting by politicians or the media or through an FOI, there should be no excuse that no minutes were taken for that meeting or were not retained.

Thank you.

On a general point, are all Scottish Government meetings recorded and the correspondence and so on kept?
