22. Rosemary McKenna

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps she is taking to promote Scotland's creative industries. [81461]

Mrs. Liddell

The creative industries are a dynamic and fast growing sector of the Scottish economy. I am therefore pleased to be able to co-host an event tomorrow with Lord Puttnam of Queensgate, Chairman of NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), which will provide an opportunity to highlight the wealth of Scottish talent in this sector.
