§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he proposes to take to improve the state of the building and construction industry in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsMuch of the construction industry operates on a United Kingdom basis and the steps taken by the Government to place the economy on a sound footing have benefits for the construction industry in Wales no less than for the country as a whole. In Wales these measures, combined with the Government's proposal for more flexible improvement and repair grants announced last week, should bring increased work to the smaller building firms.
