§ 5. Mr. Hamlingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with the Highland Development Board on educational and recreational projects in the Highlands.
§ Mr. MillanMy right hon. Friend has not had any discussions with the Board about specific educational and recreational projects. The Board has, however, given him its views on secondary education in the Highlands and Islands, and these are being carefully considered in relation to proposals of the Highland education authorities.
§ Mr. HamlingIs the hon. Gentleman aware that my interest in this matter arises from the fact that one of the schools in my constituency has a project in Argyllshire, and will he have discussions with his right hon. Friend about this project?
§ Mr. MillanI am very well aware of my hon. Friend's interest in this. I think he knows that this has been discussed at quite considerable length, but I also think he knows that the problem is principally one for the Department for Education and Science and not for my right hon. Friend.
