§ 61. Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland why his Department has issued no formal report on the problem of emigration from Scotland.
§ Mr. RossBecause the main causes of emigration are known to be economic, and the Government's regional policies are already taking effect in reducing the net migration loss from 47,000 in 1965–66 to 25,000 in 1968–69.
