§ Mr. SternTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to encourage other cities in Scotland to emulate Glasgow's emphasis on provision for the arts.
§ Mr. LangI am happy to acknowledge Glasgow's success in developing provision for the arts and in exploiting the valuable contribution made by the arts to the economic life in the city. Glasgow's achievement as this year's European city of culture shows what can be done when local authorities join forces with private and corporate sponsors.
