HC Deb 11 July 1990 vol 176 c233W
Mr. Dunnachie

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any current plans to commemorate Glasgow's year as the City of Culture by releasing further specific funding to the city for a permanent environmental testament to the year; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The Government are contributing £0.5 million directly to the European City of Culture 1990 and, in addition, Government-funded bodies are committing significant resources in support of particular events taking place in 1990. The City of Glasgow district council did not include in its latest financial plan any proposals to commemorate Glasgow's year as City of Culture and there has been no subsequent request for funding or capital consent for this purpose.
