asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what oral or written evidence was given to the Toothill Committee by the Department of Agriculture for Scotland; and if he will make it available to Members of Parliament.

The assistance given to the Toothill Committee by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for Scotland included certain written and oral evidence, informal discussion and replies to specific requests for information. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave to him on 6th December.
