CIOB makes voice heard at party political conferences

摘要

The political party conference season did not pass without the voice of the construction industry being heard. The CIOB attended the three major party events to ensure the industry views are represented. At the Conservative Party Conference Brexit was the core theme but was very swiftly followed in priority by housing and construction. Business secretary Greg Clark told delegates that the UK needed an industrial strategy that worked for businesses both big and small, making specific mentions of infrastructure, regeneration, skills and devolution. Separate to this, the CIOB and the RICS together held a well-attended fringe meeting to discuss what an industrial strategy should look like for the built environment.
