§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he, or his representative, will visit the PACE youth theatre group based at Paisley arts centre to discuss funding of community arts in Renfrewshire; and if he will make a statement. [39160]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. Friend has no plans to visit the PACE youth theatre group. National funding for performing arts projects is the responsibility of the Scottish Arts Council and applications for funding should be addressed to that body.
