To ask the Scottish Executive how Creative Scotland will realise the potential of creativity in the economy.
Answer
The Creative Industries Framework Agreement, published on 5 February 2009, sets out how Creative Scotland will work together with Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and local authorities to deliver practical support for the creative industries. Those organisations are committed to the Framework and are now preparing implementation arrangements.
The role for Creative Scotland described in the Framework Agreement will be reflected in the relevant provisions in the Public Services Reform Bill and accompanying Policy Memorandum which will be laid before Parliament in due course. Once established, it will be for Creative Scotland to decide in detail how to implement its remit to support and grow the creative industries.
The Framework Agreement is available at:

The government is committed to ensuring that Creative Scotland supports the prosperity and innovation of cultural enterprises by maximising the use of its resources, and will work in partnership with other relevant bodies in doing so.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends that the Bill that establishes Creative Scotland will include a power for ministers to give Creative Scotland directions on funding.
Answer
It is right and proper that ministers should have the power to give direction to Creative Scotland over its general functions, as with all public bodies. However, we will enshrine in legislation the arms length principle which is rightly valued by the arts community because it guarantees autonomy in respect of Creative Scotland''s artistic and cultural judgement.

To ask the Scottish Executive what the increase in real terms is for the Scottish Opera budget in (a) 2008-09, (b) 2009-10 and (c) 2010-11.
Answer
Scottish Opera has received a 2% cash increase in its budget from the Scottish Government for each of the years 2008-09 and 2009-10 and also in the planned budget for 2010-11. This equates to a real terms decrease of 1.21% in 2008-09, and real terms increases of 2.50% and 3.28% in 2009-10 and 2010-11 against the 2007-08 baseline.
