Abstract
Begg H. M. and Lythe C. M. (1977) Regional policy 1960–1971 and the performance of the Scottish economy, Reg. Studies 11, 373–380. The paper examines the underlying problems of the Scottish economy, the nature and intensity of UK regional policy over the period 1960–1971, and the influence of that policy on the performance of the Scottish economy. It shows that regional policy effected some improvements in the areas towards which it was most explicitly directed, such as infrastructure, investment and private sector manufacturing industry. There was, however, very little job creation even in manufacturing relative to the scale of the problem, little effect on the service sector, and only a weak stimulus to growth.
