Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Work and Skills.
Work and Skills
Does my hon. Friend agree that an awful lot of the Government's claimed increase in the number of apprenticeships is, in fact, a rather creative piece of accounting, because modern apprenticeships were all level 3 and above, whereas the figures for what are now called higher apprenticeships have dropped substantially since 2001? All the increases have taken place in modern apprenticeships at level 2, which offer substantially less valuable employment opportunities.
