Political Contributions
In 2002 current Labour leader in Scotland Iain Gray answered a question from the SNP's Bruce Crawford about Scottish Enterprise network funding for Scottish Coal. His answer was as follows:
- "In the three years to 31 March 2002, the Scottish Enterprise network contributed a total of £81,591 in direct support to Scottish Coal Company Ltd and its subsidiaries. These contributions went towards a number of projects including studies on opencast mine reinstatement and the Modern Apprenticeships Scheme at Longannet and were in addition to the bank guarantee of £4.514 million provided by Scottish Enterprise to Scottish Coal (Deep Mine) Ltd and paid to the Royal Bank of Scotland"[3].
