HC Deb 22 May 1972 vol 837 cc297-8W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the proposals submitted to the Government by the Scottish Assembly; and if he will show against each what policy response the Government has made.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have placed in the Library a copy of the Charter of Proposals presented to the Government by the Standing Commission of the Scottish Assembly sponsored by the STUC. The Government has taken note of all these proposals and when they met the Prime Minister on 27th March the Standing Commission acknowledged that many of the proposals included in the Charter were already reflected in the Budget and in the White Paper on Industrial and Regional Development. If the hon. Member wishes further information on specific suggestions made in the Charter, I will do my best to provide it.
