Keeping Promise on Culture Sector Funding

Lodged by Neil Bibby (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the promise made by the Scottish Government on 21 February 2023 to cancel its proposed 10% funding reduction, totalling £6.6 million, to Creative Scotland in the Budget for 2023-24; regrets that the Scottish Government has now confirmed to Creative Scotland in a letter dated 20 September 2023 that it has broken this commitment by not reinstating this funding as promised; believes that this reduction in funding will have serious consequences for Scotland's culture sector, and calls on the Scottish Government to restore this funding, as promised, without delay.
