Frank Bertie, Managing Director, responds to the new bills in the King’s Speech, on July 17, which will set the agenda for the new Government. In a busy King’s Speech with 40 bills announced by the Government, there were three areas that particularly caught the eye here at NAPIT showing a co-ordinated approach to reaching net zero, plans to build more new homes and changes to the Apprenticeship Levy.

Frank Bertie, Managing Director, welcomes the positive approach of the new Labour Government’s willingness to engage with industry to bring forward plans to meet the Net Zero targets and looks forward to working with Government officials, politicians and policy makers from all parties.
