Motion to Approve the Draft Industrial Training Levy (Engineering Construction Industry Training Board) Order 2026

Parliament will vote on approving a draft order that sets the industrial training levy for the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board in 2026. The levy is a payroll tax on engineering construction firms that funds apprenticeships and training programmes in the sector. This order determines the rate and scope of that contribution for the coming year.

The levy directly affects engineering construction employers' wage bills and shapes apprenticeship capacity in a sector critical to infrastructure and energy projects. The vote is largely procedural but reflects government priorities on skills investment in construction at a time when the industry faces skills shortages and ambitious net-zero and infrastructure commitments.
