Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Apprenticeships

Contribution

I apologise, Mr Speaker. The proposals we have set out as a Government are all about expanding opportunities so that we get young people out of worklessness and into job opportunities. That is why we have set out a new deal for young people. To put it politely, the shadow Minister’s proposals borrow from a number of the features that we have set out in our plan. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
