HC Deb 10 December 1975 vol 902 cc190-1W
26. Mr. Welsh

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what guidance with regard to archaeological considerations is given to local authorities in planning developments, especially those involving the use of earth moving equipment.

Mr. Millan

Local authorities are automatically notified of the existence of scheduled ancient monuments in their areas, and they have been given general guidance in Scottish Development Department Circulars 134/1972 and 13/1974. Authorities are aware that guidance on specific sites is available on request.
