§ Sir D. Walker-Smithasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he wishes to correct the unemployment figures given in his answer to a supplementary question by the right hon. and learned Member for Hertfordshire, East, Official Report, 12th July, column 1502.
§ Mr. ShoreYes, the correct latest figure for unemployment in the construction industry is about 188,000 and not 177,000. I regret this inadvertent error, and thank the right hon. and learned Gentleman for giving me the opportunity of putting the record straight.
