It has welcomed the response from the Chancellor to some of its key recommendations including:

• creation of a National Infrastructure Bank to back projects including regeneration of communities;
• the extension and growth of incentives for apprenticeships, with support for traineeships;
• the extension of the stamp duty holiday
