Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 March 2026
Debate
Industrial Training Levy (Construction Industry Training Board) Order 2026Contribution
I hope that noble Lords will recognise that an enormous amount of work is taking place and that the support needs are immense for some of these young people both to encourage them to come in in the first place but also to retain them and take them through the training packages. Of course, mental health issues have to be taken exceptionally seriously. A relative of mine works very intensively in health and safety—that is her specialism—and it was chilling to hear that a death factor is included in contracts in some parts of the world. That is the scale of failure in too many parts of the world. We face very serious issues, which reflects the fragmented nature of the issue, as the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, picked up on. I hope noble Lords recognise that we are taking a holistic view to support those.
