To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to review the role and operation of Historic Scotland in light of the evidence taken by the Education, Culture and Sport Committee.
It is Executive policy to review the work of all departments and agencies from time to time. The Education, Culture and Sport Committee have asked ministers to review the roles and responsibilities of Historic Scotland in their response to the Public Appointments (Scotland) Bill. Ministers are considering this request and will be responding in advance of the Stage 2 discussions on the bill.
