§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has studied the five-point plan by Sir John Toothill concerning ways of boosting the Scottish economy ; and if he will adopt its recommendations.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI have naturally studied Sir John Toothill's suggestions with great interest. Much of what he is reported to have proposed is in line with Government thinking, as will be evident from our decisions to cut selective employment tax and lower 97W corporation tax, and from my announcement yesterday about additional expenditure on public works.
