Proceeding contribution from Toby Perkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 February 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill [Lords].


Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Transfer of Functions etc) Bill [Lords]

I am listening carefully to the right hon. Lady. She seems to be evangelising the role of IfATE, but I have heard far stronger criticisms of it than she appears to make. Is her position that IfATE does not have many faults and should carry on the way it is, or does she think that the organisation’s remit has grown and is vague, and most employers feel that it is a block to getting the standards they need, rather than the vehicle for that, as she seems to suggest?
