§ Mr. James Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what transitional arrangements he will make to bridge the time-gap between the imminent run-down of the railway workshops in Inverurie and the takeover of the premises by an incoming firm or firms.
§ Mr. RossAs no definite decision has yet been taken on the future of the workshops, it is too soon to say whether there will be any gap to be bridged. If necessary, the Government will be ready to help an incoming firm in the transitional period by arranging appropriate programmes of industrial training.
