Proceeding contribution from Nick Hurd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.

Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

The Secretary of State will recognise the extraordinary work that charities such as Action for Children and Barnardo's do to support some of the most vulnerable children in our communities. How does he respond to those charities' concerns that the Bill does not do enough to help young people from marginalised backgrounds to access apprenticeships—a word that he has not yet used in his speech—and appropriate learning pathways? Also, what assurance can he give about the future of work-based programme-led apprenticeships?
