HC Deb 29 July 1976 vol 916 cc380-1W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many jobs will be lost in Scotland as a result of the cuts announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and if he will give details of how the cuts will be applied in Scotland.

Mr. Millan

For the services for which I am responsible, I will be considering with the parties concerned how the measures announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be applied. At this stage, it is not practicable to make a precise estimate of the overall effect of these measures upon employment in Scotland.
