CUT THE CARBON IN CONSTRUCTION CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1079, tabled 23 November 2010 by Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 32 members.

That this House believes that the Government's Carbon Reduction Commitment, together with the forthcoming Energy Security and Green Economy Bill, provide a clear opportunity to boost employment and economic performance within the UK construction industry; notes that radical change in the construction industry's skills base and practices will be essential in achieving these outcomes; supports the Cut the Carbon in Construction campaign led by CITB-ConstructionSkills, the Federation of Master Builders and the National Specialist Contractors Council which seeks to ensure that companies and individuals have the right skills to deliver carbon reduction initiatives for homes and businesses; and calls on the Government to support a unified approach that cuts across differing departmental responsibilities on green skills.
