The motion
That this House notes the importance of the construction industry to the United Kingdom economy and to jobs; is concerned at the collapse of house building and other construction activity; is further concerned that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors estimates some 300,000 jobs will be lost as a result; and calls on the Government to reduce red tape, simplify business taxes and implement an effective national loan guarantee scheme for viable firms in construction at the earliest opportunity.
