§ Mr. FoulkesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects meetings of the Scottish Grand Committee to be held in(a) Ayr, (b) Kilmarnock, (c) Cumnock, (d) Dumfries, (e) Stranraer, (f) Prestwick, (g) Troon and (h) Girvan. [8566]
§ Mr. Michael ForsythI am delighted with the enthusiasm now being shown by Opposition Members for my proposals to take the Scottish Grand Committee to locations throughout Scotland. Possible venues in Scotland must first of all be assessed by the House authorities before they can be added to the list of suitable locations. Decisions are then taken through the usual channels on where the Scottish Grand Committee should meet.
