Victoria Borwick (Kensington) (Con)
I absolutely concur with my hon. Friend. On that point, do you believe that jobcentres, which do good work in my constituency and others, should be encouraged to promote apprenticeships as a way of tackling the issues and figures that you have raised?
Mr James Gray (in the Chair)
The hon. Member for Norwich North (Chloe Smith) has raised them; I have not.
Victoria Borwick
You are quite right, Mr Gray. I am sorry.
In London, we have created 220,000 apprenticeships since 2010, which have introduced people into a world of work. Perhaps in due course the Minister will comment on apprenticeships.
Mr James Gray (in the Chair)
Victoria Borwick, I was planning to call you because you wrote to the Speaker to indicate that you wished to speak.
Victoria Borwick
No, I made my point in an intervention. Thank you, Mr Gray.
Mr James Gray (in the Chair)
Mr Green and Ms Solloway, neither of you wrote to the Speaker; nor, indeed, had you been standing up. However, in a spirit of openness and cheerfulness, I call Chris Green.
