HC Deb 26 November 1975 vol 901 cc169-70W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment in what specific ways he intends to co-ordinate the recently announced measures to alleviate unemployment in the construction industry with the Government's campaign to eliminate labour-only sub-contracting in the industry.

Mr. Freeson

The provisions against abuses in the Finance (No. 2) Act 1975 should substantially reduce the size of the lump. The Construction Industry Manpower Board, which is to be set up shortly, will advise on the effect of this and other measures to increase stability of employment in the industry.
