As the FT points out, its all very well saying you're going to ease planning restrictions for new building projects and claiming to bring stability to the construction sector after years of varying policy, but if you (Labour) don't do something about the training & education of construction workers, then such efforts will come to little.

Further education, where such training takes place, has been the subject of austerity & constraints for years; now is the time to value it!

Even when investment was in earnest, in the late 80s the training boards like CITB, quango degens, dumbed down the traditional multi disciplinary City and Guilds pathway and essentially refocused on providing cheap labour trained to the specific requirements of the largest construction companies. Ie the industry went from highly skilled to competent site work standards. Another corporate hijack of standards.
