§ Mr. Galbraithasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to announce his decision on the Strathclyde structure plan; and what decision he has reached on the proposed Crow Road expressway.
§ Mr. YoungerStrathclyde regional council has today received my proposed modifications to its structure plan, which will be advertised for objections. One of the proposed modifications involves the352W tion—but a very small one—for the first time for two years. In the circumstances I have no alternative but to keep under consideration a range of possible measures to reinforce the Government's determination that numbers be reduced. As a first step, I have already indicated that I shall seek powers to require the publication of local manpower figures to enable the public to be aware of staff changes in their locality.
