§ 6. Mrs. Bainasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will pay an official visit to Kirkintilloch.
§ The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Mr. Brace Millan)My right hon. Friend has no plans at present to do so.
§ Mrs. BainWill the right hon. Gentleman accept that that answer will be greeted with deep regret in Kirkintilloch? May I therefore express the deep concern of my constituents about vandalism there? Have the Government any plans to provide recreational facilities in such areas, which are totally without them at the moment? Does he intend to bring forward legislation to deter vandals effectively?
§ Mr. MillanWe have had questions about vandalism before. I have always said that if there were any legislation or other provisions which could solve the problem, the Government would be willing to look at them.
§ Mr. SelbyIf the Minister yields to the hon. Lady's blandishments and goes to Kirkintilloch to examine the situation, will he stop off at Monklands to congratulate the electors there on showing such good sense as to reject the policies of the SNP?
