CONSTRUCT Concrete Structures Group has written to card schemes, awarding organisations and
CITB calling for a flexible, coordinated approach to ensure the construction industry’s workforce can
continue to operate in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kira Perez, my foxy little vixen, brings me home to meet Abby Somers, her stepmom. Abby seems a bit too excited to meet me (Jay Bangher), but she is full of hugs, smiles and all sorts of eyes. Whatever. Kira asks me to go start a movie. This is code for turn on something loud so we can fuck.

Abby is stripped down and I enter Abby with my big cock. She immediately starts creaming up. They take turns and share my fat meat while they lick each others' pussies.

qualification deadlines and measures to ease cash flow through grants and levy reduction.

grants.

CONSTRUCT has welcomed statements from the card schemes in response to the pandemic, but in

CONSTRUCT has called for all card schemes to coordinate their advice, with clear guidance issued

The Health Safety & Environment (HS&E) Test – which underpins card schemes with their occupation

qualifications such as NVQs and provide End-Point Assessments for apprenticeships – to look at
flexibility in extending deadlines to ensure operatives can complete their studies.

CITB have been asked to process grant claims quickly and work with Government to look at
temporary levy payment holidays and deferral options, with the latter similar to tax payment deferrals
announced by the Chancellor.

announcement on tougher measures, we will see a total shut down of the system.

“CITB has an opportunity to ensure our members are given the support they need for training that has already taken place, and to support the retention of apprentices by bringing forward grant.
“But crucially, CITB needs to help keep our members’ cash flow as healthy as possible by not
collecting levy in the short-term and deferring payments in the medium to long-term.
