Creative Scotland
The First Minister announced, on 5 September 2007, that the Scottish Government will introduce to the Parliament a Creative Scotland Bill. This Bill will establish a new national cultural development body, Creative Scotland. The Bill will be introduced when Parliamentary time becomes available.
Creative Scotland will be formed out of an amalgamation of the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen, but will have a new remit and functions. A full statement about the Bill will be made soon.
Draft Culture ( Scotland ) Bill
A Draft Culture (Scotland) Bill was published by the then Scottish Executive in December 2006. Responses to the consultation are now available to view.
