§ 31. Mr. Buchanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to meet the chairman of the Scottish Development Agency to discuss economic developments in Renfrewshire.
§ Mr. Allan StewartI am in regular contact with the chairman of the Scottish Development Agency on a wide range of economic and industrial issues. In addition, he and I met representatives of Renfrew district council and Strathclyde regional council last September to discuss a local economic initiative for the area. I am following closely the efforts to get this initiative started, and I hope the district council will change its mind and allow its officials to take part in preliminary talks with the agency and the regional council.
