The Scottish Government does not support having a judge-led public inquiry into blazes at Glasgow School of Art
Culture Secretary Angus Robertson insisted that the Scottish Government “has long recognised the cultural and historical significance of the Mackintosh building”. However, he told MSPs on the Scottish Parliament’s Culture Committee that the Government “does not support” a call by its predecessor committee for a public inquiry into the blazes to be held.
He explained that neither the Scottish Government nor Historic Environment Scotland had the “necessary frameworks or regulations currently in place to implement such a comprehensive review”.
