	Newell & Budge - Scottish Executive Environmental Rural Affairs Department
		The Scottish Executive Environment and Rural Affairs Department (SEERAD) is responsible for the administration and payment of EU Common Agricultural Policy subsidies to farmers in Scotland.

		However, whilst Scottish production has a high-quality image, and selected types of Scottish beef have a high market reputation, it could be argued that there is very little historic evidence that the livestock industries have been able to respond quickly to increase the quality or their products and meet the demands of the market.
		Scottish lamb, in particular, remains of very variable quality, and there is room for improvement in much of the non-selected beef sector.
		In this context, the University of Dundee is liaising with the Scottish Crop Research Institute, with the University of Wales (Bangor) and with a major Scottish house builder in the use of annually grown crops to form composites for use in construction.

		We would wish to offer to the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Executive our practical and expert support in the successful implementation of their policy.
		Whilst agreeing that such change is appropriate at this time, we urge that the Scottish Executive (SE) secure a firm basic and strategic research foundation upon which to build this proposal.
		We take the view that the change away from funding by SEERAD of “Institutions” toward the funding of “Programmes” means inevitably that the “core funding” issue must be addressed.

		If the Executive was serious about improving the rural environment, it would spend more money, he argued.
