HC Deb 05 December 1975 vol 901 c450W
62. Mr. Hannam

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he is taking to relieve the high levels of unemployment in the South-West building and construction industry.

Mr. Freeson

Various measures have been taken by the Government to stimulate house building, which have been successful in the South-West as elsewhere. The South-West will also benefit from the additional expenditure which the Government have recently allocated for public sector construction programmes and for factory building.
