HC Deb 26 February 1968 vol 759 cc235-6W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what account was taken of the need for road-building in the area of the Bedworth Urban District Council, because of a rapidly expanding population in his De- partment's recommendations for the making of grants for additional winter road works.

Mr. Mellish

None. The sole criterion used for the provision of extra construction work during the winter months was that, in areas outside the Development Areas, the level of unemployment in the construction industry was 6 per cent. or more.
