HC Deb 26 July 1972 vol 841 cc320-1W
92. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ensure that an adequate number or senior posts on the Highland and Islands Development Board are given to men and women who have made their careers in the Highlands and Islands.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The majority of the present members of the board have made their careers wholly or mainly in the Highlands and Islands, but I could not agree to exclude from the board others who can make a major contribution to its work.
