Answer
There has been no change in the Scotland Office’s management of artwork or heritage assets since the previous administration. The Scotland Office is pleased to showcase the best of Scottish art in partnership with the Fleming Collection and the Government Art Collection. Last year, the Government also announced that works of art by five contemporary artists from across Scotland would be displayed in embassies and government buildings around the world as part of a Government Art Collection project; I am delighted to see these contemporary artists having their work promoted by the UK Government.
