§ Mr. Peter Walkerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, in view of the substantial increase in unemployment amongst construction workers throughout the country, if he will consider the reintroduction of Operation Eye-sore.
§ Mr. John SilkinThe series of measures announced by the Government on 24th September were introduced to meet current unemployment problems and to carry out community tasks. Although some of the aims of Operation Eye-sore were similar, I do not consider that the reintroduction of the scheme would be desirable.
