HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 cc549-50W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will outline his proposed timetable on the Rover plans for the Leyland site at Bathgate.

Mr. Ancram

I understand that a planning application was lodged with West Lothian district council on 15 December. It is a matter, in the first instance, for that council, but in view of the scale of the proposal my right hon. and learned Friend will be considering urgently whether to call it in for his own determination. He hopes to announce his decision next month.
