HC Deb 13 July 1972 vol 840 cc436-7W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will help sponsor visits to the United States of America for Scottish businessmen to study aspects of the oil industry.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I am satisfied that there are already ample opportunities for such visits. I was glad to learn that a substantial number of Scottish companies together with the Scottish Council (Development and Industry) have been actively pursuing in the United States opportunities for participation in the oil industry.
