The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what its long-term strategy is to ensure the viability of Scottish Opera.

The answer

Answered by Patricia Ferguson on 15 Feb 2005 · 6 days after it was lodged, on time

The future viability of Scottish Opera is dependant upon the implementation of its own business plan. The Executive and the Scottish Arts Council are supporting the company in its implementation of the plan, as well as closely monitoring progress being made towards its realisation. Should the Cultural Commission make any strategic recommendations regarding Scottish Opera, or, indeed, any of the national companies, these will be fully considered by Ministers.
