HC Deb 27 November 1968 vol 774 c128W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many qualified scientists are employed in the various research stations under his control; and to what extent, where and in what manner these numbers have altered during each of the last 10 years.

Mr. Ross

The figures are as follows:

firms qualifying for investment grants in the development areas.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I do not expect the expansion of the distributive trades in the development areas to be limited in consequence of the restrictions on assistance available under the Local Employment Acts to service industries.
