HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 c4W
41. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will consider having separate Scottish representatives in all countries to promote Scottish trade; and if he will make an estimate of the probable cost of doing so.

Mr. George Thomson

No. Her Majesty's Government maintain commercial representatives in 210 cities around the world. In common with all other United Kingdom exporters, Scottish exporters have a full demand on their services.
