Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing.

Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing

With respect, it is the hon. Member for Havant (Mr. Willetts) who is not being clear. On at least two occasions when opening the debate he referred to the fact that there were about 3,200 apprenticeships—I cannot remember the exact figure—in central Government. That is a low figure, but it relates only to central Government. He completely overlooked what my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills and I said about apprenticeships in local government, which have also been mentioned by the hon. Member for Henley (John Howell), and about apprenticeships in the NHS.
