HC Deb 14 May 1990 vol 172 c324W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consider the creation of a Scottish Council of Crafts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

My officials are currently reviewing the question of future support for the crafts industry in Scotland in consultation with the Scottish Development Agency and the Highlands and Islands Development Board. The possibility of creating a Scottish Council of Crafts is one of a number of options under consideration.
