Minutes from Programme Monitoring Committee meeting: FOI release

Information requested

The minutes of a Programme Monitoring Committee meeting held in Atlantic Quay, Glasgow, on 14th November 2019, include the following excerpt: 

"AF asked what the SG position is on paying claims to LPs while in suspension and DR asked if claims that have previously been held would now be paid. HP advised we are currently in discussions with Ministers but our position remains that the MA is unable to pay claims until the suspension is lifted. We are also waiting to see how quickly we may be able to have the  suspension lifted."

Please provide all correspondence, notes, minutes, or documentation which records the details of the above mentioned “discussions with Ministers".

Response

There is no correspondence, notes, minutes or documentation regarding discussions with Ministers on this topic. This is because in practice there were no claims with Scottish Government from our Lead Partners affected by the audit issues which had caused the suspension.
