Answered Asked by Irene McGugan SNP Lodged 12 Jan 2001

The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what progress has been made in developing sustainable alternative ways of promoting traditional and Gaelic arts and music in Inverness and the Highlands and in ensuring the continuance of the educational work done at Balnain House, Inverness following its closure, and what funding it is making available for this, particularly for tuition.

The answer

Answered by Sam Galbraith on 19 Mar 2001 · 66 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Arts Council is working, with other members of the Highland Arts Partnership, to develop sustainable programmes of support for the traditional arts. I have therefore asked the Director of the Arts Council to write to the member with the requested information and to make it available to the Parliament's Information Centre.
