HC Deb 05 December 1973 vol 865 c382W
30. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to stimulate growth in the construction industry.

Mr. Channon

Demand on the construction industry is at present at a higher level than ever before, and the immediate problem is to secure tenders for public authority work at reasonable prices. Discussions are taking place with the industry on this and related matters which affect its future performance.
