 In addition, a New Industries Panel was set up to consider which UK companies should be approached with a view to setting up a Scottish plant, "“having in mind that the principal need in Scotland is for new industries which will employ men”".They also set up committees to deal with public relations, export trade and tourism.The latter, a continuation of one set up in 1944 by the Scottish Council on Industry, under the Chairmanship of Dr Honeyman, highlighted the opportunity for the growth of tourism in Scotland and recommended that the Secretary of State for Scotland should create a suitable organisation to promote and co-ordinate growth in that area.
