§ Mr. Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now make a statement on the proposed microelectronics applications centre for Scotland.
§ Mr. YoungerI warmly welcome the initiative taken by Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt universities in endorsing the proposal to set up a new company combining the resources of the Wolfson Microelectronics Institute and Computer Application Services. I particularly welcome the opportunity to develop applications that this will provide. I am still discussing financial assistance for this project with those concerned.
