HC Deb 11 April 1978 vol 947 c404W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will draw to the attention of all contractors given work by his Department the desirability of employing trial labour on construction work, particularly in those areas of Wales where there is continuing high unemployment.

Mr. Barry Jones

The employment of local labour, where practicable, is to be welcomed. I am arranging to notify the Employment Services Agency of the letting of major contracts so that it may make approaches to the contractors.
