§ Mrs. EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) how many of the functions of the Scottish tourist board are to be relocated from Edinburgh to Inverness by 1 April 1995; and if he will list them;
(2) what assessment he has carried out of the costs of relocating Scottish tourist board staff and functions to Inverness by 1 April 1995; how many staff will be involved; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Lang[holding answer 7 July 1993]: I expect the Scottish tourist board to establish a substantial office presence in Inverness, representative of the range of its functions. The numbers of staff involved and precise costs can be determined only once the STB has identified which jobs are to be transferred; I expect, however, overall expenditure to be kept within existing resources.
