To ask the Scottish Executive what action it has taken on its National Cultural Strategy commitment to work with Glasgow City Council to examine the circumstances of museums and galleries in the city.
Answer
The National Cultural Strategy recognised the particular position of Glasgow and committed the Executive to work with Glasgow City Council to examine the circumstances of the museums and galleries in the city. Ministers have had a series of meetings with Glasgow City Council to hear their plans for development of the city's museums and galleries and I am pleased to say that the Executive has now awarded one-off funding of £1 million to the Kelvingrove Refurbishment Appeal Trust and £2 million towards Glasgow's Museums and Galleries Service towards realising its full educational and tourism potential.

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-22331 by Ms Wendy Alexander on 8 February 2002, what impact its employment initiatives have had on the claimant unemployment rate in Glasgow Kelvin since May 1999.
Answer
UK Government and Scottish Executive employment initiatives in Glasgow Kelvin include the New Deal programmes, the Glasgow Employment Zone and Training for Work. It is not possible to completely separate the impact of these initiatives on unemployment since May 1999, from the effects of improved economic conditions over the period. However, claimant unemployment in Glasgow Kelvin fell by 11% between May 1999 and March 2002.
