The Public Services  Reform Bill, including measures that will bring Creative Scotland into being,  will be debated at stage 1 of its consideration in the Scottish Parliament on  November 16th. We encourage our members to write to their MSP ahead of the  debate and ask them where they stand on Creative Scotland, reminding them that  the new agency must acknowledge the unique and crucial contribution of visual  and applied artists to Scottish culture and keep their support an utmost  priority.
