HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c348W
Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will arrange for the Scottish Development Department to make an assessment of how many jobs have been created in the building industry, by the measures he has announced since June, 1970, to accelerate hospital and local authority building and rehabilitation programmes.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Because of the number of employing agencies involved, and the variety of schemes, it is impossible to make any useful estimate of the number of jobs created.
