"Count Me In" Scheme

22.

Mr. Fairbairn
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what support the Scottish Office is proposing to give to Edinburgh's "Count Me In" scheme.

Mr. Rifkind
This is a local promotional initiative led by the Edinburgh business community. There are no plans for direct Scottish Office support, but my officials stand ready to offer any advice or guidance which may be sought. I wish the venture every success.
