Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stuart Andrew and Robert Halfon

Monday 14th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Stuart Andrew (Pudsey) (Con)]

On Friday I met Futureworks Yorkshire, which has been successful in supporting apprentices through shared apprenticeships, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction industry. It seeks assurances about what provision has been made for that in the levy. Will my right hon. Friend meet me and Futureworks to make sure that this successful scheme continues?

[Robert Halfon]

Of course I will be pleased to meet my hon. Friend and the organisation he mentions. We are investing heavily in skills and construction and doing everything we can to improve the quality and quantity of apprenticeships.
