The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, in the light of the publication of the minutes of the meeting of the Scottish Museums Council on 11 December 2007, whether it has any plans to provide the £3 million funding for Scotland’s three national industrial museums which the Scottish Museums Council has offered to administer.
The answer
Ministers will take a decision on how much investment is required, and the timescale, once we have the full business and economic case for investment. Historic Scotland will advise us on what programme of work may be required at the Mining Museum and I understand that the Maritime Museum will submit its Business Plan soon.
In the meantime, we have already given £60,000 to the Maritime Museum and £25,000 to the Mining Museum for urgent repairs and Historic Scotland are providing the Mining Museum with £45,000 for maintenance.
