§ Mr. Gordon BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all his economic advisers who are paid from public funds.
§ Mr. RifkindMy chief economic adviser is Dr. R. G. L. McCrone, secretary, Scottish Development Department, who is supported by a staff of 22 economists. In addition, I receive advice from my advisory panel of economic consultants drawn from economists working in the Scottish universities which meets on average some two or three times a year.
