§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what long-term plans he has to encourage a reduction of food imports into Scotland and an increase of production of food in Scotland, so that Scotland will be self-supporting on basic foods.
§ Mr. RossThe 1968 Annual Review White Paper made clear the continuing importance the Government attach to agriculture's import saving rôle. Annual Review determinations provide the means of encouraging home food production in Scotland, as in other parts of the United Kingdom in line with the objectives of the selective expansion programme for the period to 1970–71.
