Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 6 August 2024.
Lord Hardie
Judge
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to ensure that there are adequate skilled employees in all construction trades necessary for infrastructure and housebuilding projects in the (1) short, (2) medium, and (3) long, term.
Baroness Taylor of Stevenage
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government), Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
The Government recognises that it is critical for industry to access a labour market with the right skills and training. To build 1.5 million homes in the next parliament we will support the construction workforce to deliver the additional capacity that is needed.
We will work across government and with industry to make sure there is the right eco-system for training and skills to deliver sufficient high-quality training opportunities to build a diverse workforce that is fit for the future.
