I think what the UK Govt. needs to do is buy and take control of a concrete producing plant in Zimbabwe, and purchase an 80% stake in a Brick manufacturing company in Chile.
The cost of transporting finished materials to the UK will be easily absorbed by the ridiculously cheap labour costs involved
