Proceeding contribution from Lord Boswell of Aynho (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

May we go back to a point touched on a little while ago? The Secretary of State was saying that there were 1,000 additional apprenticeships to be made available in the construction industry. Does my hon. Friend not agree that in normal economic circumstances the annual demand for new labour in the construction industry equates to some 80,000 people? Even if the Government's aspiration could be achieved, could it be anything like commensurate with our need for skills?
