§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what level of cumulative net emigration from Scotland over the period 1966–70 he estimates to be required to achieve the 1970 home population target of 5.3 million set out in the Scottish Plan, Command Paper No. 2864;
47W(2) what he estimates will be the home population of Scotland in 1970 given that net emigration continues to increase along the trend lines established in 1964–65 and 1965–66.
§ Mr. RossTable 5 of Cmnd. 2864 indicates the effect of different migration assumptions on the home population of Scotland in 1970. Revision of these projections to deal with the hon. Member's precise queries would not, I think, serve any useful purpose.
