27. Mr. Galloway

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he last met the Scottish TUC to discuss the employment situation in Scotland; and if he will make a statement. [37641]

Mr. Wilson

My right hon. Friend has had frequent meetings with the Scottish TUC during which a great number of issues of importance to the Scottish economy have been discussed. He took the opportunity yesterday when he addressed the Annual Congress of the STUC to emphasise the importance of modernisation and partnership to help the Scottish economy become more internationally competitive.
