The industry training boards have a long history in skills training, which I hope will be revisited by this Government as they address some of the very challenging skills programmes that will be needed to deliver the energy transition. Arguably the most successful skills mass training programme in this country was the one that underpinned the transition from town gas to natural gas in the 1960s and 1970s, overseen by the Gas Industry Training Board—perhaps we could do with that body being recreated.
