Sir Julian Lewis

Conservative — New Forest East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 June 2025

Debate

Industrial Strategy

Contribution

It seems quite radical to suggest, as the report does, devolving responsibility for post-16 technical education and training to local leaders and transferring responsibility for skills to the Department for Business and Trade. Will the right hon. Gentleman briefly expand on that, and explain how it relates to apprenticeships on the one hand and university education on the other?
