§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Trade what specific recommendations have been made, or specific action 220W taken, since 7 December 1978 by the overseas project board of the British overseas trade board to assist the construction industry; and what further action he envisages, following the disbanding of the construction exports advisory board on 14 February 1978.
§ Mr. ParkinsonThe overseas projects board continues under this Administration to consider issues of concern to the project industry as a whole. Since the construction industry is an important part of the projects industry, many of these issues are also of specific interest to the construction industry. The members of OPB who act as linkmen to trade bodies representing the construction industry continue to ensure that that industry's concerns are kept well in mind.
