It is worth highlighting that, when in government, we had to make difficult decisions on the adult skills budget which the current Government were critical of, but they have themselves now cut the adult skills budget by 6%. Notwithstanding that, His Majesty’s Official Opposition obviously support today’s proposals, which are in line with our own principle of devolving the adult skills budget. While we welcome the proposals set out, we take this opportunity to challenge the Government on the adult skills fund.
