§ 72. Mr. ThurnhamTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement about the prospects for Britain's civil engineering industry during the next 12 months.
§ Mr. TrippierThe indications are that the strong trend of growth in new orders for civil engineering contracts will continue. Major new contracts — the Channel tunnel, 231W Sizewell and the Dartford crossing—and the increased spending on roads envisaged in the Autumn Statement look set to reinforce this trend.
