HC Deb 08 November 1973 vol 863 cc244-5W
Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will take steps to ensure that the United Kingdom centre for drilling technology proposed in the report "Education and Training for Offshore Development" is set up in Scotland

Mr. Gordon Campbell

This recommendation is addressed primarily to the Petroleum Industry Training Board, which is invited in co-operation with the Department of Employment and the Education Departments to develop plans for the establishment of a centre for drilling technology after consulting the industry and the education service. I shall ensure that in the consideration to be given to this question the merits of the case for locating the centre in Scotland are taken fully into account.
