HC Deb 04 August 1971 vol 822 cc309-10W
49. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will initiate a departmental inquiry into the performance of the microelectronics industry in Scotland in the last 15 years, with particular reference to the fact that the industry is largely foreign-owned.

Mr. David Price

I do not believe that such an inquiry would serve any useful purpose.
