Skills England is ready to go and business is crying out for it, yet what we have heard today are two suggestions. The first is that, despite that, we should delay further: for six months in the case of new clause 1, and for a year, if not longer, in the case of new clause 4 and amendment 6. To those who propose this, I say simply this: enough debate. We need to get on with the job. What they are proposing is not constructive, and would simply slow down the process of turning this country’s skills gaps around.
