Ms Gisela Stuart (Birmingham, Edgbaston) (Lab)
I served an apprenticeship, albeit in Germany. The success of apprenticeships in Germany is the result of the fact that they are not seen as an alternative for those who cannot go to university, but are seen as an alternative route to achieve the same aim. Will the Minister continue to stress that apprenticeships can be an alternative route, and that this is not just a question of either/or?
Matthew Hancock
I stress that as much as I possibly can, and the hon. Lady is well placed to make the case too.
