Text

I thank the Minister for that response. As you outlined, Minister, a key part of creating a more resilient road network is having the workforce to deliver it. We know that British austerity has severely impacted on our workforce in DFI, creating an over-reliance on contractors and driving up the cost of works as a result. I know that the Minister wants to change that. Minister, will you update us on the progress of your recent recruitment campaign for road workers?
