§ Mr. Dempseyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made in the formation of a regional plan for Scotland, with a view to the expansion of the Scottish economy.
§ Mr. RossThe new planning machinery which I will shortly be setting up will have as its first task the preparation of a plan for Scotland, within the framework of a national plan for the country as a whole. Much preparatory work is already in hand and I shall keep Parliament informed of progress. The Government are, of course, taking immediate measures like the recent programme of advance factory building to promote industrial expansion in Scotland.
