Written answers and statements, 17 March 2005
Mr John Lyons (Strathkelvin & Bearsden, Labour)
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to mark St. Andrew's Day in 2005.
Mrs Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland), Department for Constitutional Affairs; Stirling, Labour)
From 2005, the celebration of St. Andrew's Day in Scotland will centre on an annual theme, responsibility for which lies with Scottish Executive Ministers. This year's celebration will focus on the theme of 'One Scotland, Many Cultures', fully recognising Scotland's history and traditions while celebrating our cultural, religious and ethnic diversity.
