HC Deb 20 November 1996 vol 285 c582W
26. Sir Michael Grylls

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what assessment he has made of the report prepared by the Confederation of British Industry in Scotland on the subject of devolution in Scotland. [3484]

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I welcome the detailed consideration given by the CBI to this important debate. It is clear that the business community recognises the damage that would be done to the Scottish economy by tampering with the present constitutional arrangements.
