Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Work and Skills.


Work and Skills

One of the points made by the hon. Member for Henley (John Howell) concerned larger employers sustaining apprenticeships. I want to reinforce the point I made about small employers and the difficulty they have in sustaining apprenticeships. Will the Minister take back to his colleagues my suggestion that we ought to look again at a training levy system to help to subsidise smaller employers to retain and sustain apprenticeships for the future?
