Richard Foord

Liberal Democrat — Honiton and Sidmouth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 February 2026

Debate

Construction Industry Training Board: Funding

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Member for Exeter (Steve Race) for calling the debate. I appreciate that CITB is at arm’s length from Government, but of course, 946,000 young people were registered as NEET last summer. Does the Minister share my view that money is better spent on organisations such as CITB than it is on welfare payments to young people?
