§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will commission a feasibility study into the commercial viability of manufacturing paisley pattern goods in the town of Paisley; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StewartMy right hon. Friend has no plans to commission a feasibility study into the commercial viability of manufacturing paisley pattern goods in Paisley.
Following earlier representations by the hon. Member on the same subject, I passed the suggestion of a feasibility study on to the local enterprise company. It is for the local enterprise company to decide how to pursue the issue.
