Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Technical and Further Education Bill.


Technical and Further Education Bill

Although what the Minister is saying is correct, in that those apprentices will be paid, taking child benefit away from low-income families will be a disincentive for them to take up apprenticeships. Those families will be pressed to stay in education so that they can continue to get child benefit. Is that not the case?
