§ Mr. Russell Johnstonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what instructions his Department has given local authorities concerning consultation with other local authorities within the area of the proposed regional authority of which they will become part, before approval is given for public works schemes.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI consider it too early to give any general guidance of this sort, but if it seems appropriate in 241W relation to any particular project the local authority concerned will be advised to consult other authorities.
