asked the Minister of Labour what is his most recent estimate of the number of building workers in the Armed Forces and employed in working for the Armed Forces.

I regret that this information is not available.

Is the Minister aware that I was told only a month ago that there were 20,000 building workers in the Armed Forces? Will he convey to his right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour the suggestion that just as miners have been released to dig more coal, we need the building workers out to build more houses?
