HC Deb 18 January 1985 vol 71 c245W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the meeting arranged by the Scottish Development Department between industrialists and officials of the Alvey Directorate.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The Alvey programme is the subject of a forum being held in Edinburgh on 29 January organised by the Scottish Electronics Technology Group (SETG), a grouping of industrialists and academics. The Scottish Development Agency made a grant to the SETG at its inception in July 1984 and is represented in the group. My Department has not had direct involvement in the organisation of the forum.
