HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 c68W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what effort is being made in the construction of the Scottish exhibition centre at Queen's dock, Glasgow, to ensure that Scottish companies are fully involved in this development.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

In the case of the Scottish industrial exhibition centre, the Scottish Development Agency is following the practice it adopts in relation to all construction projects for which it has overall responsibility, namely, to seek to obtain the highest quality work at the lowest price, while having regard to the desirability of assigning work wherever possible to local contractors.
