§ Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reply he has given to the Lanark County Council to its development programme for Bellshill, Uddingston and Bothwell; and what financial assistance he will be giving to them.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe proposals for Bellshill and Uddingston are eligible for comprehensive development grant, but the prospective deficits are abnormally heavy and the county council has been asked to consider ways of reducing them. I have not received any request for grant for redevelopment at Bothwell.
