A single voice will also allow for easier representation of all sectors in the industry when policy affecting the built environment is under discussion.<\/p>\n<p>FMB Scotland director, Gordon Nelson, said: &#8220;We are facing the largest construction and infrastructure pipeline in Scotland&#8217;s history, yet our industry doesn\u2019t have a Cabinet-level minister. From housing delivery to major infrastructure projects, from energy transition to skills development, construction touches every aspect of Scotland&#8217;s economic and social future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The next Scottish Government must recognise this by appointing a Cabinet-level Minister for Construction &amp; Infrastructure who can drive the coordinated action our sector needs and ensure we have the resources and focused political attention to deliver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FMB Scotland president, Pam Wilson, added: &#8220;Scotland&#8217;s construction industry is critical to our economic prosperity and our ability to meet our climate and housing ambitions. We have over 200,000 people working in our sector, contributing 10% of our nation&#8217;s economy, yet we have no political champion at the Cabinet table.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the next Scottish Government is serious about upgrading our homes, delivering renewable energy infrastructure, and building the housing we desperately need, they must give construction the Cabinet-level leadership it deserves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FMB says appointing of a Scottish construction minister will help maintain Scottish commitments to housing and infrastructure targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":160927,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172730],"tags":[277,720,276,572,172848],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-160926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-people","8":"tag-built-environment","9":"tag-federation-of-master-builders","10":"tag-government","11":"tag-housebuilding","12":"tag-scotland"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FMB calls for appointment of Scottish construction minister<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The FMB says appointing of a Scottish construction minister will help maintain Scottish commitments to housing and infrastructure targets\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/people\/fmb-calls-appointment-scottish-construction-minister\/160926\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FMB calls for appointment of Scottish construction minister\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Federation of Master Builders is calling for a Scottish construction minister to be appointed by the government that wins the election\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/people\/fmb-calls-appointment-scottish-construction-minister\/160926\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
