asked the Minister for the Environment the number of new jobs which will be created in the period 1 October 1988 to 31 December 1988 or during 1989 as a result of the additional allocation of £9 million to his Department for house improvement grants under the Government's Job Creation Scheme announced on Thursday, 6 October 1988.

39.
The additional £9 million for the house improvements scheme is for payment of grants due to householders and it reflects the higher than anticipated level of activity in this sector this year. This would have had a corresponding effect on employment in the construction and related industries and the extra money now going to householders will provide a further boost to economic activity.
