Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 24 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on Government Procurement Policy.
Government Procurement Policy
The one question that the noble Lord has not addressed on which I should welcome some comment is why in public procurement contracts we do not stipulate, as the previous Government did, that it is a perfectly reasonable quid pro quo to indicate how many apprentices there are and what training they will be undertaking. I thought it disgraceful when I discovered a very large government contract with a company that did not have a single apprentice on its books. I would welcome the Minister’s response to that.
