To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1F-2474 by the First Minister on 6 February 2003, whether the use of the quotation contained in that answer, taken from an article of mine in The Herald on 22 October 2001, and intended to show support for the stance taken by the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport on the national theatre and its funding, was complete without including the next sentence in the article, "But, equally, to invest in existing theatre and leave the national theatre plan hanging in the air where it has been for the past decade or more would indicate no ambition for Scottish arts and culture and no commitment to making progress", and whether the use of the quotation in that manner by the First Minister was contrary to the founding principles of the Parliament.
