HC Deb 15 March 1972 vol 833 c99W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will produce a cheap popular edition of the Scottish Economic Bulletin, with a view to making its contents more widely known in Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The Scottish Economic Bulletin, published twice a year, is designed to provide the broad background to changes in the Scottish economy.

While views about the Bulletin are welcomed as an aid to improving its content and coverage, its present form currently priced 30p, is considered to contain the minimum amount of material required adequately to illustrate and review the latest economic trends.

Publication of the two editions to date, the latest at the end of last month, received wide publicity in Scotland.
