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

Can the Minister clarify the Train to Gain situation? My understanding had been that money going to companies under the scheme was not to fund apprenticeships but was expressly to enable the qualifications of those already in employment in the firm to be expanded up to level 2, so that you encourage those who are already in the company’s employ. But from what the Minister was saying, perhaps there has been a change in the rules and they can use this money to fund apprenticeships.
