CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Early day motion 242, tabled 16 June 2010 by Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Social Democratic and Labour Party). Signed by 32 members.

That this House recognises that construction is a major employer in all constituencies and that a vast number of jobs within the industry are still under threat; and calls for a comprehensive plan, backed by policies on taxation that promote enterprise and growth, that will maintain construction commitments in programmes such as education and infrastructure renewal to achieve long-term national economic benefits whilst ensuring people remain in work.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, DUP 5, Liberal Democrat 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1.
