HC Deb 20 February 1969 vol 778 c137W
39 and 40. Mr. Gordon Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs (1) whether the new planning document applies to Scotland;

(2) to what extent the new planning document will take into account the White Paper on the Scottish Economy published in January 1966.

Mr. Shore

The planning document is concerned with the prospect for the economy as a whole, but includes a chapter discussing the prospects in different parts of the country. The hon. Member will find that this takes account of the 1966 White Paper on the Scottish Economy.

Mr. Peter Hordern

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs when he will publish the new planning document.

Mr. Shore

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave today to other Questions on the planning document.
