well, could there be potential for looking further at 'more solely Scottish commercial contractors' expanding to take up any potential construction boom work? Brief straw poll of units of north and their expected reaction to such a boom maybe? Would a proposed Scottish Govt create a 'protectionist' policy for archaeological units (local govt works favouring local companies over larger 'English' ones like Wessex, or simply tax breaks/penalties to encourage Scottish set-ups or give them a home-ground advantage) or would it be the same situation as now, in all but name?
