70. Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action the North-East Consultative Committee has so far taken; what plans it has initiated; what advice it has given and to whom; what are its sources of revenue; and if he will make a statement.

The Group is helping with the preparation of a detailed programme of development to implement the strategy for the area set out in the White Paper on the Scottish Economy. The Group has already started work, for example, on the food processing industry, and on transport and housing needs.
