Lord Lexden Excerpts
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, as I said, 100,000 jobs were created in the sector only last year. The Government are encouraging industries of all types to take on apprentices, and they are. I hope we will attain our target by 2020 of 3 million apprentices.
Lord Lexden (Con)
Are the Government firmly pledged to increase home ownership in our country?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My Lords, we are, and I am pleased to tell my noble friend that a report only last week showed that the decline in home ownership that we have seen over the past 15 to 20 years has halted for the first time.
