HC Deb 28 June 1967 vol 749 c84W
21. Mr. Alasdair Mackenzie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in view of the low priority given to land use in the first Annual Report of the Highlands and Islands Development Board, if he will give the Board a direction to pursue this matter with more vigour.

Mr. Ross

The Board does stress the importance of land use in the Report, and I cannot accept the hon. Gentleman's assessment. There is no need for a direction of this kind.
