7 Visits
35. The Committee places much emphasis and value
on our visits in Scotland, not only to take formal oral evidence,
but also for informal meetings. During 2006, we took formal evidence
in Edinburgh as well as holding both informal meetings and taking
formal evidence in Aberdeen and in Inverness. As stated in paragraph
16 above, we also held a press conference in Edinburgh.
36. Although our visit to the Westfield Development
Centre in Fife was informal, as stated in paragraph 10 above,
the discussions held there lead to our Second Report. In addition,
we also paid informal visits in Glasgow (on two occasions), on
Orkney and Shetland and in the Highland Region.
