A SCOTLAND Office minister has said cash from the UK Government for the Edinburgh Fringe is set to be splashed on a new headquarters building for the festival. During a visit to the Tartan Week celebrations in New York, Tory MP John Lamont told the Edinburgh Reporter the £8.6 million windfall included in the Budget announcement for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society will be spent on new premises.In a statement last month, the Fringe society said the cash could only be spent on capital and said it was specifically for a “new Fringe creative community hub” in Edinburgh.
“What they [the Fringe society] applied for was money to help them develop new headquarters to accommodate all their staff and its just a recognition of the importance of the Fringe not just to Edinburgh and Scotland but the whole of the UK.”Scotland Office minister
