Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what financial support his Department provides to the construction industry.

The Government is committed to investing £600m in infrastructure over the next decade and providing £15.3bn in new financial support for housing in this Parliament.

We are driving economic growth and improving people’s lives in the long term by investing £170m through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) in the Transforming Construction: Manufacturing Better Buildings programme. The programme will improve productivity through supporting the development and commercialisation of digital, manufacturing, energy generation and storage technologies for the construction and built environment sectors.
