HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 c58W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for the continuation of the activities of the Scottish central excavation unit.

Mr. Rifkind

My right hon. Friend proposes that the unit should continue at least to the end of 1980–81 during which time he will be considering the best way of organising rescue archaeology and excavation in Scotland in the longer term.
