HC Deb 02 February 1954 vol 523 cc18-9W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now make a statement on the recent investigations into the mineral resources of Scotland, particularly silica rock and dolomite.

Mr. J. Stuart

I understand that the Mineral Resources Panel of the Scottish Council has recently completed an inquiry into the deposits of dolomite in Scotland, and the possibility of their utilisation, and that a report is being prepared; the council also has in hand an inquiry into the resources of silica rock.
