Scotland (Prime Minister's Visit) Q9. Mr. Teddy Taylor asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his visit to Scotland. Mr. Edward Short I have been asked to reply. The meetings which my right hon. Friend had with the STUC and the Scottish Council (Development and Industry) provided a most valuable opportunity for wide-ranging discussions of matters vital to the Scottish economy. My right hon. Friend has proposed that these meetings should be repeated at annual intervals.
