Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing direct UK Government funding to support museums and art galleries in the city of Glasgow.
Cultural policy has been devolved to the nations of the United Kingdom since 1999. Funding for museums and galleries in Glasgow is therefore the responsibility of the local authority, the Scottish Government, and its agencies, who are best placed to determine how to support the city’s cultural assets.
