HC Deb 11 November 1969 vol 791 c77W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has received for revival and extension of mineral extraction in Skye and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Ross

I am awaiting the outcome of the investigation commissioned by the Highlands and Islands Development Board into the diatomite deposit at Uig, Skye, the re-opening of which has been proposed by a number of bodies.
