27. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ensure that adequate resources to deal with possible pollution by oil are readily available in Orkney and Shetland.

Mr. Younger

Extensive arrangements for dealing with possible spills of oil have been made both by the Government and by the oil companies concerned, and the local authorities have schemes for dealing with oil on coastlines.
