Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Christine Russell (Labour). It was answered by John Healey (Labour) on Tuesday, 27 October 2009 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Housing Pledge (Apprenticeships)

Question
What duties in relation to apprenticeships will be placed on house builders and developers as part of the housing pledge.
Answer

Last month, I announced that all future rounds of funding for house building in this country—under the new housing pledge and the affordable housing programme—will require those taking the Government grant to have in place apprenticeship schemes. This means that, over this year and next, we will be able to create an additional 3,000 apprenticeship places across the country.
