Dear Scottish Government,

In January 2023 the National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded £1.7m to the King’s Theatre Edinburgh.

In March 2023 Scottish Government gave £9.8m to the King’s Theatre Edinburgh (subsidy SC10882).

Kindly provide:

1. the business case for the funding and

2. all documents which explain why this wasn’t referred to the Subsidy Advice Unit under the Subsidy Control Act 2022.

Yours faithfully,

Ginny Bennett
