§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Minister of Technology what study he has made of the pleasure boat manufacturing industry in Scotland; how many firms there are engaged in this industry; and what Government assistance is given.
§ Mr. FowlerWe have made no special study of pleasure boat building in Scotland and there are no special arrangements for Government assistance. I understand that there are about 30 firms. The majority of these are in the Scottish Development Area, and thus enjoy substantial advantages over many of their competitors outside Scotland.
