Mr Speaker
It is always a great pleasure to listen to the mellifluous tones of the Minister, who I know from personal experience to be an extremely agreeable fellow, but I gently point out to the House that the statement has now run for half an hour and we have heard from only five Back Benchers. Perhaps there is scope for an improvement in productivity, to be brilliantly exemplified, I feel sure, by Mr Eddie Hughes.
Eddie Hughes (Walsall North) (Con)
I am approaching my 50th birthday in October and I am concerned by the undertones suggesting that that is in any way old.
I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Building and a fan of innovative technology such as blockchain. What can these new technologies do to improve productivity in the construction sector deal?
Mr Speaker
We often hear from the hon. Gentleman about this blockchain business. I feel I ought to educate myself on the matter.
