§ 1. Mr. Kirkwoodasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends again to call a meeting in Edinburgh of Scottish Members of Parliament?
§ The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. T. Johnston)It will be advisable that any meetings in Edinburgh should take place during a Parliamentary Recess, but I am not in a position to suggest any precise date. Meanwhile, I pro- 150 pose periodically to issue invitations for meetings at the Scottish Office in London of Scots Members of Parliament. Members will be invited to these meetings on the basis of a regional or area grouping of constituencies. The gatherings will be quite informal, but I trust that the results will be of considerable benefit to all concerned and not least to the constituencies whom we represent.
