I don’t want there to be too many exceptions so as not to undermine the underlying principle.
This conditional support reflects an exceptional cross-sector partnership and demonstrates what can be achieved when government, funders and cultural organisations work together around a shared vision.
It was a historic election result for the SNP, the largest ever gap, if I remember correctly, between us and those who came into second place.
So long as the Scottish Government isn't making these decisions, all we can do is set the principles by which we expect them to be made.
