Paragraph 13 I1

The Scottish Ministers must seek to ensure that the amount of resources allocated for use by Environmental Standards Scotland is reasonably sufficient to enable it to perform its functions.

Each report prepared under paragraph 12 must include an assessment by Environmental Standards Scotland of whether the amount of resources allocated for use by it in the financial year to which the report relates was sufficient to enable it to perform its functions.

Sub-paragraph (2) does not affect the generality of paragraph 12(2).
