I agree. I enjoy working with the hon. Gentleman and I hope that those on the Opposition Front Bench come to their senses.
John Glen (Salisbury) (Con)
Large employers, such as QinetiQ in my constituency, do very well, with large numbers of apprentices every year going into jobs after four years. My concerns relate to smaller employers. Will the Minister reassure the House that the needs and relatively limited capacity of small employers to engage with changes to apprenticeships can be accommodated in his plans?
Matthew Hancock
With a background in small business, I understand entirely. These plans will make it easier for small businesses to access apprenticeships.
