MSP TO MEET CULTURE MINISTER ABOUT BYRE THEATRE
June 30, 2010 12:00 AM
North East Fife's MSP Iain Smith is set to meet Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop to discuss to withdrawal of over £300,000 of funding from the Scottish Arts Council to the Byre Theatre in St Andrews.
Mr Smith, the Liberal Democrat Culture Spokesman and long-time supporter of the theatre, had previously said that this funding cut was a "slap in the face" to the Byre.
Commenting ahead of his meeting with the Culture Minister, Iain Smith said:
"There is no doubt that the contribution the Byre makes to culture in Fife is significant and the public uproar as a result of this cut is testament to that.
"A huge question mark hangs over the Byre's future without the necessary funding from the Government and I shall be making the case for its re-instatement with the Minister."
