CBI COMMENTS ON GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTION STRATEGY

The CBI yesterday welcomed the publication of the Government Construction Strategy.

Dr Neil Bentley, CBI Deputy Director-General, said:

“The Construction Strategy identifies a number of key priorities that we have been calling for, including reducing unnecessary cost in public sector procurement and providing a pipeline for infrastructure projects.

“The strategy is a positive step forward, recognising the important role that construction plays in the UK in terms of jobs and economic growth.

“The Government must now continue to work with the construction sector to swiftly implement the strategy. Doing so will boost the confidence of the whole construction supply chain, stimulate innovation and ultimately lead to better value for the taxpayer.”
