Apprenticeships

Debate between David Lammy and Gordon Marsden

Tuesday 12th March 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Marsden]

I am glad that the hon. Gentleman has made what is not just a detailed point, but an important general point: that these things cannot simply be delivered and micro-managed in Whitehall. They need to be taken forward at the local and sub-regional level. He gave an example, and I welcome apprenticeships coming from councils of whatever political persuasion. I shall have a little more to say about that later.

[Mr David Lammy (Tottenham) (Lab)]
