HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c235W
57. Mr. Allason

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Government's new plans for redeployment of labour are designed to produce an increase or decrease in the construction industry.

Mr. Gunter

I am not prepared to forecast the future level of employment in the construction industry. One of the results of the Government's measures should be to ease the labour shortages which the industry has experienced for many years,
