National Infrastructure Commission: Apprentices

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 28 April 2025UIN 44906

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the National Infrastructure Commission has offered apprenticeships in each year since it was set up.

Answered by Darren Jones

Since its inception, the National Infrastructure Commission has successfully trained and developed a number of apprentices. As a small organisation, the number of apprentices trained and developed has been determined by business needs, balanced against obligations.

On 1st April 2025, the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) merged to become the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). NISTA is a unit of HM Treasury, reporting to both HM Treasury and Cabinet Office.
