Mr. William Beausang:

Yes, what the Deputy said is right. There is a 10,000 target for apprenticeship generally and annual apprenticeship registrations. Craft has been really dominating that 10,000 figure.

In terms of how we are going about responding to workforce needs for construction for Housing for All, we commissioned a very important piece of work, which has been published, namely, Report on the Analysis of Skills for Residential Construction and Retrofitting 2023-2030. This gives a very detailed and granular requirement of the need at that very specific level of the expansion in numbers required and replacements reflecting retirements that will be necessary, or that are assessed to be necessary, to meet the workforce need for current housing targets. Obviously, that is alive to the point that, as I understand it, the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, is currently looking at requirements for housing targets into the future. Our work will in those circumstances need to be updated to reflect that.
