asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made on the proposals from the 2002 Future Search into Ulster-Scots. [HL834]

Baroness Amos

The Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, in consultation with representatives of the Ulster-Scots community, has been considering how best to take this matter forward. An Ulster-Scots Future Search Implementation Group, comprising participants from the Ulster-Scots community and the statutory sector, has been set up and I am pleased to report that the first meeting is scheduled for February 2004.
