§ Mr. SillarsWhen the Prime Minister goes to Scotland tomorrow, will he look up the election results for 1970 and understand that, because he issued a separate manifesto for Scotland and 840 Scotland voted overwhelmingly for Labour, it is claptrap for him and his Ministers to say that they have a mandate for cutting Scottish public expenditure and destroying the Labour Government's investment grants scheme?
§ The Prime MinisterScotland is part of the United Kingdom and intends to remain so. Policies are pursued by the United Kingdom Government. We shall carry out the policy that we pledged to Scotland.
§ Mr. BuchanWhen the Prime Minister goes to Scotland, will he give a simple and direct answer—which his right hon. Friend failed to do yesterday—to the question whether aid to industry in Scotland will be cut?
