Fishing Vessel "tarradale Ii" (Loss) (12 Feb 1979)

Sir John Gilmour: I thank the Minister for that statement. Although, as he will know, the vessel sailed from Peterhead, almost the entire crew came from East Fife and, therefore, my constituents and I would join with the Minister in his condolences to the families concerned.

Orders of the Day — FORESTRY BILL [Lords] (24 Jan 1979)

Sir John Gilmour: The hon. Member for Rother Valley (Mr. Hardy) highlighted the very bad advice that the Treasury has given to the forestry industry of this country.

Sir John Gilmour: The details that the Secretary of State gave us of deductions from the electoral register—particularly in relation to those under 18 on 1st March and those who had died—showed the extent to which the difficulties in achieving the 40 per cent. vote had been exaggerated.

Scotland Bill: Voting of Scottish Members of Parliament (17 Jul 1978)

Sir John Gilmour: The totality of what can be achieved by the Scottish Assembly will be determined entirely by the English Members. It is entirely in their power to decide what happens.
