§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the growing need for an adequate conference centre with translation facilities to attract European conferences; and if he will consult the Tourist Board, the local authorities, and other appropriate bodies, with a view to taking steps to establish such a centre.
§ Mr. RossI would welcome any proposals designed to expand conference facilities in Scotland, and the Scottish Tourist Board assures me that it will lose no opportunity of encouraging the production of promising schemes by local authorities and interested commercial developers.
