HC Deb 26 May 1971 vol 818 cc152-3W
Mr. Buchan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many public work projects have been brought forward during the last six months in order to deal with the unemployment situation in Scotland; and if he will list them, giving proposed and actual starting dates.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The accelerated winter works scheme has had the effect of relieving unemployment. I refer to the replies given to the hon. Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton) on 7th April and to the hon. Member for West Lothian (Mr. Dalyell) on 25th May.—[Vol. 815, c.135; Vol. 818, c. 92.]
