HC Deb 09 November 1983 vol 48 c148W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he has taken to implement the recommendations of the Alvey commission on microelectronics in Scotland.

Mr. Allan Stewart

Implementation of the report on advanced information technology, which was prepared by the Alvey committee, is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, and I refer the hon. Member to the statement made by the then Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on 28 April 1983. Naturally, I hope that industry and educational institutions in Scotland will participate actively in this programme of research.
