§ 32. Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will establish an industrial task force to expand employment creation in Dundee.
§ Mr. Alexander FletcherThe Dundee area is already receiving a high degree of priority. The whole area is retaining special development area status under our general regional policy, which concentrates assistance on areas with the most serious economic and structural problems, while the Scottish Development Agency, in co-operation with the local authorities, is paying particular attention to the needs of the area. The agency has established an office of its small business division in Dundee and plans to spend £6 million on an integrated development project centred on the Blackness and Waterfront areas.
