§ 33. Mr. Hoyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many organisations have been invited to submit nominations for membership of the proposed Scottish Tourist Amenities Councils; how many individual invitations have been sent out; and with what result.
§ Mr. NobleTwelve organisations have been asked to submit nominations for consideration when appointments are made to the Council. I have not invited any individuals to serve.
§ Mr. HoyWill the right hon. Gentleman say how many have replied saying that they would be willing to serve on a council of this kind? Will he at the same time tell us what his intentions are in regard to the Bill?
§ Mr. NobleThe second part of that supplementary question is clearly a different matter. Four associations have written to me suggesting nominations.
