HC Deb 17 October 1973 vol 861 c207W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many official statements have been made by Ministers in his Department this year about future job prospects in Scotland; and if he will publish a table showing the date of each statement and the prospective jobs mentioned.

Mr. Chataway

My right hon. and hon. Friends and I have answered a number of inquiries about job prospects in Scotland and in particular places and industries there and we have referred to employment in Scotland in our speeches. I am satisfied that the expenditure involved in tabulating these references would not be justified.
