Apprenticeships and Skills Policy

The following is an extract from the Westminster Hall debate on Apprenticeships and Skills Policy on 8 January 2018.

[Anne Milton]

With respect to the drop in level 2 apprenticeships, which was mentioned earlier, we are not absolutely sure what is behind the figures.
