To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S4W-14730 by Aileen Campbell on 21 May 2013, which applicants to the Third Sector Early Intervention Fund have neither received an award nor been selected as strategic partners.

In line with the approach the Scottish Government has taken with other funds, we do not intend to release details of organisations who were unsuccessful in their application to the Third Sector Early Intervention Fund and who are not in a Strategic Funding Partnership. Releasing this information could cause reputational damage which could discourage the organisations named, or other similar organisations, from applying for funding in future. This would constitute substantial prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs.
