[Gordon Marsden (Blackpool South) (Lab)]

On that point, we all try very hard to get the apprentice voice heard, so it is unfortunate that the witness cannot come today. On the original list of witnesses was the name of Baroness Wolf, which has since disappeared, so she is obviously not giving evidence to us today. Do we know the background to that?

[The Lord Commissioner of Her Majesty’s Treasury (David Evennett)]

I believe she is unavailable to come along today because of other commitments. We are disappointed, but obviously people have full diaries.

[Gordon Marsden]

Indeed, and she is a very busy lady.
