Pauline McNeill (Labour) | Question S3W-27995
To ask the Scottish Executive whether there are plans to alter the distribution of funding for the Youth Music Initiative from the Scottish Arts Council to local authorities and, if so, what conditions will be attached in single outcome agreements to the use of these funds by local authorities.
Michael Russell (Scottish National Party)
There are currently no such plans. Funding for the Youth Music Initiative is to remain with the Scottish Arts Council in 2010-11 and pass to Creative Scotland once established. We will look with Creative Scotland and COSLA at the longer term options for funding distribution and how they can maintain successful outcomes from the initiative.
