HC Deb 21 March 1974 vol 870 c165W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will consider including the islands of Bute, Cumbrae and Arran in the Highlands and Islands Development Board under the new regional organisation.

Mr. William Ross

When I have had the benefit of the considered views of the new local authorities to be elected in May and of the HIDB itself I shall consider whether the area served by the HIDB should be changed.
