HC Deb 01 February 1972 vol 830 cc92-3W
Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he has taken to study the likely effects on the construction industry, and in particular the private house-building industry, of entry into the Common Market.

Mr. Amery

In August, 1971, my Department circulated to the National Consultative Council for the Building and Civil Engineering Industries a study of the implications of entry into the E.E.C. for the construction industry as a whole. Close consultation is maintained on these matters between my Department and the industry through the N.C.C.
