Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) on Tuesday, 9 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


House Building Projects

Question
What account his Department takes of the effects on local employment in the construction industry in its decisions on the allocation of funding for house building projects.
Answer

In September 2009 we announced that all new housing projects funded with public investment will be required to offer apprenticeships and local labour opportunities. The aim of that policy is to increase opportunities for young and unemployed people who have been particularly hard hit in the current economic climate.
