HC Deb 01 August 1966 vol 733 c3W
Mr. More

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what representations he has received from the National Federation of Building Trades Employers regarding building by public authorities; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Prentice

The impact of S.E.T. on direct labour departments was raised by the Federation and I have told it of the Government's decision that local authority direct labour departments will pay the tax on new building work.
