Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that more skilled workers are employed in the infrastructure sectors by the end of 2022.

BEIS continues to work with the Department for Education, the Department for Work and Pensions, and representatives of the construction sector through the Construction Skills Delivery Group, which aims to drive increased investment in construction skills, including those relevant to the infrastructure sector. To date, the Group has made good progress in supporting a greater number of apprenticeship starts, encouraging pledges to transfer unspent Apprenticeship Levy funding, and to provide better information and easier routes into the industry for those seeking careers in construction.
