Support For Scottish Craft Industries

EDM number 151 in 1990-91, proposed by John Home Robertson on 03/12/1990.

That this House notes the representations made by over 240 craft businesses from all parts of Scotland against the closure of the Scottish Development Agency's Crafts Division and Craftpoint Centre; deplores the failure of the Secretary of State for Scotland to maintain support for Scottish Craft Industries on the same basis as the Crafts Council for England and Wales; rejects the notion that the craft sector can be adequately supported by a purely commercial marketing service; recognises the special importance of craft businesses for Scotland's rural economy and tourist industry; and calls on the Government to maintain the level of support and training for Scottish craft industries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
