HC Deb 22 July 1952 vol 504 cc22-3W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why all reference to the importance of international trade between Scotland and Canada is excluded from Industry and Employment in Scotland, 1951 (Command Paper No. 8521); and what developments have taken place in trade between Canada and Scotland since the publication of, and on the lines indicated in, Industry and Employment in Scotland, 1950 (Command Paper No. 8223).

Mr. J. Stuart

The chapter on American and Canadian participation in Scottish Industry, published in the White Paper for 1950 was a special one reviewing developments in this important field during the past century I did not think that such a general review could usefully be repeated this year.

As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the replies that I understand that my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade is giving him to two other Questions today.
