The Scottish Government
The devolved government for Scotland is responsible for most of the issues of day-to-day concern to the people of Scotland, including health, education, justice, rural affairs, and transport. The Scottish Government was known as the Scottish Executive when it was established in 1999 following the first elections to the Scottish Parliament. The current administration was formed after elections in May 2007.

European Regional Development Fund
The European Regional Development Fund was set up 1975 to stimulate economic development in the least prosperous regions of the European Union (EU). As EU membership has grown, the ERDF has developed into a major instrument for helping to redress regional imbalances. The Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions manages the ERDF in England. The EU has three other structural instruments (funds to develop different economic sectors and regions). In England the Department for Education and Skills manages the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food manages both the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund and Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance.
