§ Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what further information he has regarding new finds of mineral deposits in Scotland.
§ Mr. RossThe Institute of Geological Sciences is engaged on a continuous programme of survey work in Scotland, and reports of the results are published from time to time. I understand that, as part of its normal work, the Institute is currently investigating certain deposits in the north of Scotland with a view to determining whether they could be of economic importance. If my hon. Friend has any particular mineral in mind I suggest he puts down a Question to the appropriate Minister.
