25. Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what discussions he has had with representatives of the construction industry on the present state of the industry.

Mr. Rifkind

The Scottish construction industry group has recently been formed to represent the views of the industry to Government, and my right hon. Friend and I met the chairman and secretary informally last week when we had a useful discussion of the state of the industry. We shall be meeting the full group as soon as a suitable date can be arranged.
