§ 19. Mr. Ernie RossTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he last met the chairs of local enterprise companies to discuss their business plans.
§ Mr. StewartThe contractual relationship to which business plans are relevant is between local enterprise companies and Scottish Enterprise or Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Consequently, although my right hon. Friend and I meet chairmen of local enterprise companies from time to time to discuss a range of economic development and training issues, our discussions are not specifically related to their business plans.
