Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will arrange for an agricultural adviser resident in Yell and an experimental farm or croft on the island;

(2) what proposals he has received from the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board for electricity for Yell; and what action he is taking to ensure its provision;

(3) what proposals he has for reviving fishing in Yell.

Mr. Noble

These and other matters relating to the island of Yell are being discussed today at a meeting between my Departments and a delegation from the Zetland County Council, to which representatives of other interested organisations, including the Hydro-Electric Board, have been invited.
