HC Deb 21 November 1972 vol 846 c389W
Mr. Adam Hunter

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will authorise a winter programme of public works to enable local authorities in Scotland to improve the infrastructure and to ease unemployment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The programme of additional public works which I initiated in July, 1971, extends over the current financial year and is providing substantial additional employment during this winter.
