The Construction Products Association have submitted a response to the Industrial Strategy Green Paper. In it they have set out six key priorities they believe are practical, achievable and leverage both the government’s and industry’s strengths to deliver a modern Industrial Strategy:
• An enhanced National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline to increase visibility and clarity of major private projects
• Government to commit to delivering the existing project pipeline and implementing a ‘whole life’ approach to investment and procurement
• Support for a balanced scorecard approach and recommending government commit this for all of its construction spend
• Ensuring that UK businesses enjoy a level playing field in terms of regulatory environment, taxation and energy prices
• A focused effort on basic, local repairs and maintenance of infrastructure
• Drive to encourage innovation, improve productivity, lower costs, reduce waste and build highly skilled workforce.
