Lord De Mauley
My Lords, the Government believe that the line they are taking is the right one to achieve the best results for the country.
Lord Cotter
On the issue of increasing apprenticeships, which is very welcome, will the Government continue to look at ensuring that small businesses are able to engage in apprenticeships and are given assistance in that direction?
Lord De Mauley
My Lords, I thank my noble friend Lord Cotter for his question and for his kind comments on the Government’s actions proposed in the area of apprenticeships. I can assure him that we will keep a very close eye on its effects on small businesses.
