HC Deb 07 May 1971 vol 816 cc454-5W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will report on the present position of the proposed bulb-growing project at Vallay Strand, North Uist.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The proposal made by the Highlands and Islands Development Board in 1969 for reclamation of the Vallay Strand is in abeyance while further experimental work is undertaken. The Board intends to review the whole bulb project in autumn, 1971.
