§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will continue the practice of issuing special editions of the Scottish Economic Bulletin; and if he will ensure that an early special edition is issued dealing with Scotland and the EEC.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI presume that the hon. Member is referring, as a compliment, to the recent special bulletin on North Sea oil. I shall certainly consider 265W similar action in future if this seems appropriate and helpful.
As regards a special edition on Scotland and the EEC, I do not consider this practicable, for very much the same reasons as those explained on 13th December in answer to Questions by the hon. Members for Motherwell (Mr. Lawson) and for West Ham, North (Mr. Arthur Lewis), about a White Paper on the same subject.—[Vol. 848, c. 415–7.]
