Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2024

Debate

Level 3 Vocational Pathways

Contribution

I thank the Minister for her response to those questions. I know that she does not have direct responsibility for Northern Ireland, but may I ask her about apprenticeships? In defence and cyber-security—in Thales and Spirit AeroSystems—and in agrifood, opportunities should be there for young ladies as well as for young men. What is being done to ensure that there is equality of opportunity for everyone, both male and female?
