"My right hon. Friend is making a very powerful speech. Does he share my disappointment and dismay with this fact—that, for every young Brit who is hired today, 27 young foreign workers are hired?

"The hon. Lady is on a weak point there, because it was the last Conservative Government who started the apprenticeship movement, and apprenticeships peaked at around 600,000 in 2016. I was very pleased to champion apprenticeships in my constituency, and thousands of young people in Fareham and Waterlooville have taken …..." Suella Braverman - View Speech

"The right hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. That is exactly the point that I am about to make.

"It is in response to discussions by various colleagues. The point is that the contents of the measures that I have talked about are wholly unacceptable.
