§ Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Industry what estimate he has made of the proportion of production effort in the aircraft, shipbuilding and engineering industries and of the construction industry that is currently engaged on publicly-funded work.
§ Mr. MeacherNo precise figures are available, but it is estimated that nearly half of the construction industry's output and one-fifth of the aircraft industry's production output is on publicly-funded work. Estimates are not available for the engineering industries or, for security reasons, for the shipbuilding industry.
