HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 c377W
55. Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further steps he is taking to reduce the high level of unemployment amongst construction workers on Merseyside.

Mr. Amery

The measures announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 27th October, 1970, will help to stimulate demand in construction in development areas, of which Merseyside is one.
