§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to promote a Register of Scottish Manufactured Goods for general publication, to encourage consumers in Scotland to back Scotland by increasing their purchase of home-made goods and reducing imports.
§ Mr. DellA great deal of information about Scottish manufactured goods is already available in buyers' guides and industrial directories. While Her Majesty's Government strongly support all efforts to persuade buyers in Scotland and in other parts of the United Kingdom to meet more of their requirements from competitive home production, I do not feel any useful purpose would be served by a new publication on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
