Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

I am sorry to interrupt the Minister. Am I not right in thinking that, while the number of apprenticeships has risen quite considerably, there has been a very disappointing increase in the number of apprenticeships for NVQ level 3? The apprenticeships have been largely in NVQ level 2. To achieve craftsman status you need an NVQ level 3. There has been a disappointing drop recently in the number of young people going in for NVQ level 3.
