§ 24. Mrs. Margaret EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he last met representatives of Highland and Grampian regional councils to discuss proposals for the drilling of test boreholes at Dounreay.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonMy right hon. Friend has not met representatives of Highland and Grampian regional councils to discuss proposals for the drilling of test bore-holes at Dounreay. In view of his role in determining planning appeals relating to the site, it would have been inappropriate for my right hon. Friend to do so.
