Tourism: Dunfermline
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on the Heart of Dunfermline feasibility study.
Answered by Kirsty McNeill
Scotland Office Ministers and officials regularly engage with our colleagues in the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on a range of issues pertinent to Scotland.
Planning, and cultural heritage projects are devolved matters, and specific operational discussions regarding the Heart of Dunfermline feasibility study therefore rest with Fife Council and the Scottish Government.
However, the UK Government remains fully committed to supporting the long-term prosperity of Scotland’s newest city. The UK Government works closely to deliver for Scotland, including Fife Council, through investment frameworks like the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, Local Growth Fund, and the Defence Growth Deal to unlock growth and boost the regional economy.
