HC Deb 25 June 1980 vol 987 cc210-1W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the representative bodies, trade associations and professional bodies in, and connected with, the construction industry he has met since June 1979.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

[pursuant to his reply, 24 June 1980, c. 143]: I have attended and spoken at occasions organised by the National Federation of Building Trades Employers and the Electrical Contractors' Association. Other Treasury Ministers have also met bodies representing the construction industry. In addition, I have had a number of personal contacts with individuals and companies engaged in the construction industry.

Mr. Heddle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the representative bodies, trade associations and professional bodies in, and connected with, the construction industry which have made written representations to him since June 1979.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

[pursuant to his reply, 24 June 1980, c. 143]: I have received a number of written representations from bodies representing, or connected with, the construction industry since June 1979, but I regret that it is not possible to produce an exhaustive list except at the cost of disproportionate time and effort.
