§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Trade what specific recommendations have been made, or specific action taken, since 27 June 1979 by the Overseas Projects Board of the British Overseas Trade Board to assist the construction industry; and what further action he envisages.
§ Mr. NottCopies of the second report of the Overseas Projects Board, which was published on 5 March, have now been deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. It will be seen from the report that the board has considered issues of concern to the project industry as a whole. Since the construction industry constitutes an important part of the project industry, these are of particular interest to the construction industry. The Board maintains close contact during the course of its work with the main trade associations concerned with overseas projects, including those representing the construction industry.
