Proceeding contribution from Lord Willetts (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 appears not to recognise a statistic from his own Department's statistical release. I have that release to hand and the statistics show that for the year 2006-07 there were, indeed, 97,000 people in advanced apprenticeships, as against the year 2000—the first year in the table in the release— when the figure was 126,000, and every year in between the number went down. These are his figures, and he should stop denying them.
