Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if her Department will provide support to The Art Works facility in Granton.
Arts and culture in Scotland is a devolved matter.
The UK Government provides the Scottish Government with a settlement through the Barnett Formula which they can spend on cultural activities and priorities across Scotland. The Scottish Government also has substantial revenue raising capability. Support for the National Galleries Scotland’s project The Art Works in North Edinburgh is best directed to the Scottish Government who make the decisions about how to prioritise cultural funding.
