HC Deb 22 May 1990 vol 173 c148W
Sir Russell Johnston

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his answer of 5 April,Official Report, columns 830–31, to the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Mr. Smith) if his consultation invited representations both in favour and opposed to Highland regional council's draft structure plan; and if he will set out in the Official Report the terms on which representations were sought.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. and learned Friend was not responsible for the advertisement of Highland regional council's structure plan review; this was a matter for the regional council. As the relevant legislation requires, the council invited objections to the plan, indicating that they should be made in writing to the secretary of the Scottish Development Department before 2 March 1990.
