§ 61. Mr. GUYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps, if any, are being taken to co-ordinate the activities of the Scottish National Development Council and the Scottish Travel Association?
§ Mr. JOHN COLVILLE (Secretary, Department of Overseas Trade)I have been asked to reply. As the two bodies mentioned in the question are autonomous associations, any question of co-ordination of their activities is primarily a matter for them. I understand that they have already established some machinery for discussion of questions of mutual concern, and I shall watch their efforts at co-ordination with interest. If opportunity occurs I shall be happy to give what assistance I can.
§ Mr. COLVILLEThe question of contributions from the local authorities in Scotland was raised by the deputation which met the Secretary of State in Edinburgh last Friday, and the position was fully explained to the deputation by my right hon. Friend.
