HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 cc362-3W
109. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in view of the arrangements being made under Government subsidy to hold the 1970 Commonwealth Games in Scotland, if he will state his plans to enable the relevant sportsmen to visit that year's Braemar Games and also to visit Aberdeen and North-East Scotland.

Mr. Ross

The Commonwealth Games will be run by the main organising committee of the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland, and any organisation which would like to invite Commonwealth athletes to take part in other events should approach the committee.

Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is yet in a position to give details of his plans in concert with the Scottish Tourist Board and British Travel Association to attract and give facilities to visitors to the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh to visit North-East Scotland, particularly Deeside, the City of Aberdeen and the Braemar Games of that year.

Mr. Ross

The Scottish Tourist Board, the British Travel Association and the Scottish Information Office are all playing an active part in the work of the Press and public relations committee recently established by the organising committee of the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland which is preparing to take full advantage of this opportunity to attract visitors to all parts of Scotland.
