HC Deb 21 March 1979 vol 964 c654W
Mr. James White

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will name the returning officers in Scotland for the forthcoming election of United Kingdom representatives to the Assembly of the European Communities.

Mr. Millan

The returning officer for the European Assembly constituencies of Glasgow, Strathclyde East and Strathclyde West, since they are contained entirely within Strathclyde region, will be the returning officer at elections of councillors for that region. I have made an order designating the returning officers for the other five constituencies as follows:

European Assembly Constituency Returning Officer
Highlands and Islands Highland Region
North-East Scotland Grampian Region
Mid-Scotland and Fife Fife Region
Lothians Lothian Region
South of Scotland Dumfries & Galloway
