Exhibitions (Hansard, 23 March 1981)

HC Deb 23 March 1981 vol 1 cc259-60W 259W

§ Mr. Allan Stewart
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the existing facilities in Scotland for staging major exhibitions; what estimates have been made
260W
of the potential demand from exhibition organisers which these facilities cannot currently accommodate; and what estimates have been made of the potential income such additional demand could generate.

§ Mr. Alexander Fletcher
The SDA has commissioned a study on exhibition facilities. The first stage was completed in 1978 and showed that there were permanent exhibition facilities of over 1,500m2 gross floor area at:

Kelvin Hall

Ingliston

Aviemore centre

McLellan galleries, Glasgow

City hall, Glasgow
The potential demand for exhibition space and the income which might result from such provision are being dealt with in the final stage of the study, which is likely to be completed soon.
