HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c324W
55. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will instruct the Scottish Development Department to conduct an inquiry into the reasons for the loss of 27,000 jobs in distribution in Scotland since 1965, as against the forecast increase in the Government's Scottish Plan over the same period.

Mr. Ross

The 1966 White Paper on the Scottish economy made no such forecast.
