Do we need a Minister for Design?
"Do we need a Minister for Design?", asks Angus Montgomery in an article in yesterday's Design Week magazine. While the context of this question is UK-based, the underlying issue is Europe-wide. Because of its uneasy position between innovation and business on the one side and aesthetics and culture on the other, design somehow manages to fall between two quite different areas of government activity -- and even within the context of the Intellectual Property Office's responsibility for IP rights, design is very much a minor stakeholder when compared with patents, trade marks and (increasingly in the internet era) copyright.

Do we need a Minister for Design?
It is unlikely that any national government will suddenly plough resources into government in the design sector, and this is quite understandable. But wouldn't decision-making in Brussels at EU level be at a higher level if there was a stronger, clearer input from the EU's leading design-led economies?
