HC Deb 28 July 1972 vol 841 c401W
Mr. Buchan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will ask local authorities to undertake grant-aided schemes in relation to environmental improvements with a view to providing employment among school leavers.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have already asked local planning authorities to submit proposals for grant-aided environmental improvement schemes which will improve amenity and help to relieve local unemployment, and I am glad to say that they have responded well.
