HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 c839W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what is his estimate of the number of jobs gained and lost in United States-based companies operating in the Scottish economy in each of the past 10 years;

(2) what is his estimate of United States-based companies' spending in Scotland in each of the past five years on industrial buildings, plant and machinery; and what proportion of total spending by all companies this represents.

Mr. Gregor MacKenzie

The information required to answer these Questions could not be prepared without disproportionate cost.
