In this case, I think we are all completely sold on Skills England and on the need for a body that takes on the IfATE functions but also has high-level discussions and co-ordinates thinking across government and with employers, trade unions, the combined mayoral authorities and all those stakeholders, including the Migration Advisory Committee, in the industrial strategy and the regional industrial strategies. I think we are sold on that, so we want Skills England to be a powerful, substantial body.
