Gavin Newlands – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gavin Newlands on 2016-02-29.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on Scottish sport of changes to the funding of BBC Alba.

It is a matter for MG Alba how it distributes funding across it services. The previous government provided two one-off grants to MG ALBA, which we understand was put into developing the drama series Bannan.
