Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received for the establishment of a free port zone in Aberdeen; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. Friend has not himself received proposals, but the working party under the chairmanship of my hon. Friend the Economic Secretary to the Treasury which examined the general issue of free ports received a submission about Aberdeen from Grampian regional council.
