HC Deb 21 March 1972 vol 833 c315W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what recent contacts his Department has had with industrial interests in Germany about the possibility of German investment in Scottish industry.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The staff of the Committee for European Investment in Scotland, which I set up in co-operation with the Scottish Council, Development and Industry and to which I pay a substantial grant, is in active contact with German industrial interests about investment possibilities in Scotland, and my Department does not seek to duplicate this work.
