Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals have been made to him by the Highlands and Islands Development Board for the alteration of conditions attached to the board's annual grant-in-aid.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have had no such formal proposals from the Board.

Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now increase the grant-in-aid to the Highlands and Islands Development Board.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I would ask the hon. Member to await publication of the Estimates for 1971–72.
