HC Deb 15 March 1972 vol 833 cc534-5
32. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent the Gaskin Report is still needed in relation to development in the North-East of Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Since this report was published there have been welcome new developments in North-East Scotland, particularly as a result of the discovery of North Sea oil, but the report is sufficiently flexible to take account of these developments and still provides a very useful framework for planning in the area.
